Everton must go all out to sign Barcelona talent Roony Bardghji.

The Toffees are one of several English clubs who have been linked with the 20-year-old.

He was once regarded as one of the hottest talents in the game, but his time at Camp Nou has not seen the success expected of him.

Mundo Deportivo states in its Friday edition that it will either be a loan exit or a permanent transfer with a buy back option.

David Moyes' side should have no qualms about doing either, as he would set pulses racing at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

What do the numbers tell us about Everton target Ronny Bardghji?

Bardghji's numbers in his time at Barcelona should convince the Toffees that he is a priority target after they set their sights on a move.

Despite playing just 641 minutes in La Liga, he still found a way to make his impact.

According to data from Fotmob, he averaged 3.09 shots per 90, but that resulted in just one goal.

The three-cap international created 1.97 chances and succeeded with 2.11 crosses per game.

Perhaps the most impressive attacking metric that he produced was his 5.20 touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes.

Moyes likes a winger who can defend, and he averaged 5.05 successful ground duels and made 2.11 ball recoveries.

Those numbers suggest that he could do damage with the Blues, and help them achieve their goals.

Why Bardghji ticks all the boxes for Everton

Former Malmo coach Alfred Johansson claimed that the youngster "checks all the boxes", when talking about him in 2025.

That would be true if he made the move to L3, as he has all the qualities required to push Moyes' side to the next level.

He can clearly create opportunities for himself and teammates, and is not scared to take on defenders and cause panic.

The Blues want to qualify for Europe, and adding the former Copenhagen man to their ranks would certainly take them closer to that ambition.

Moyes has not shown faith in youth, as we have seen with Tyler Dibling, but he would have to make an exception in this case as the Swede is clearly destined for the top.
