da heads bet: According to Italian media outlet Calciomercato, Everton are considering making a summer swoop for Sampdoria midfielder Lucas Torreira, who was described as the ‘next Verratti’ in 2017 by the respected scout that discovered him, Roberto Druda.
da dobrowin: Calciomercato report that the Merseyside outfit want to bring the highly-rated 22-year-old, who shone in Serie A during the 2017/18 campaign, to Goodison Park to boost their options in the middle of the park after a move to Napoli is said to have stalled.
The report adds that the Uruguay international, who would prove to be a big upgrade on Idrissa Gueye and Morgan Schneiderlin in the Toffees midfield as he loves a tackle and an interception but can also make an impact in the final third too, has a release clause in his contract set at €25m (£22m).
We asked Everton fans to vote on our poll to see whether they would want the South American star to join their club, and a whopping 88% want to see him link up with Marco Silva, who wants to sign a powerful attacker who bossed Michael Keane and Phil Jagielka in 2018, at Goodison.
The Portuguese boss is certainly going to be in for a busy summer as the Toffees look to push on and progress following a disappointing season in which they finished in eighth despite big investment in the squad in 2017.
