Everton are ready to bid for ‘electric’ attacker who is excited to play at Goodison Park

Everton have largely enjoyed a successful summer, but regarding their vacant winger position, that role has yet to be filled.

After all, we at Everton.News were reliably told that Jesper Lindstrom is not a winger, thus meaning that the only reinforcement made in that area has been to return Jack Harrison for another loan.

More is needed before the window’s conclusion, and Sean Dyche will be well aware.

Therefore, it’s positive to see progress being made.

The latest on Everton’s pursuit of Largie Ramazani

Everton have shown interest in Largie Ramanzani throughout this window, by all accounts, but only now do reports seem to be circulating to suggest that the Toffees are preparing for a move.

The latest comes courtesy of TEAMtalk, and they claim: ‘Everton are considering a move for Largie Ramazani before the transfer window closes and TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal the Almeria star’s stance on a potential move.’

They then outline how the player feels about the potential switch: ‘TEAMtalk sources close to the situation have revealed that Ramazani would be open to joining Everton should they come in for him this summer.

‘The Toffees were keen on Ramazani in January and they could reignite their interest in the forward now that a deal for Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto looks unlikely.

It continues: ’Gnonto has been heavily linked with a move to Everton since last summer but Leeds’ price tag of over £25m has proved too expensive.

‘Ramazani, on the other hand, is available for around £6m and therefore represents a much cheaper option. His contract is set to expire next summer and he has no intention of signing an extension.

‘It will be interesting to see if Everton do launch an offer for Ramazani as the race for his signature is expected to heat up in the coming days.

‘He believes he is a level above the Spanish second tier and the prospect of joining Everton excites him.’

A perfect Wilfried Gnonto alternative for Everton

Standing at 5 foot 6 and blessed with blistering speed, it is no wonder that, after Everton failed to sign Wilfried Gnonto, Ramazani has cropped up as a fine alternative.

After all, neither are particularly prolific goalscorer or terrifically magical creators. They are small, dynamic wingers who can threaten any defence with their pace.

This description of the Belgian by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig honestly could be describing either one of these players, as he praises the ‘electric pace & acceleration’ of the Almeria man.

Gnonto’s ever-rising price tag only adds to the risks involved in the deal, as Leeds United’s justified stubbornness continues to hamper progression.

Moving elsewhere, and for such a cut price, marks a real no-brainer.
