Everton to move for Leeds United target
Reports coming out of Italy suggest that Everton could be an option for Leeds United and Bournemouth’s target Nicolo Zaniolo.
The 23-year old who has been frozen out of Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma has been linked with multiple moves to the Premier League, firstly with Leeds United who are in talks with AS Roma regarding the loan move of Spanish midfielder Diego Llorente so with the two clubs already in talks, a loan move for the young Italian was also on the cards.
Since then, it was reported that Bournemouth had agreed on a fee in the region of £25M agreed upon between the two clubs and that Zaniolo had agreed to join Bournemouth and the Cherries had even booked a flight to England.
Since then, though, due to the money Bournemouth have already spent this January, they do not have the funds to take Zaniolo which is where Everton came into the conversation.

#Roma – #Zaniolo would have had a second thought about the English destination: the doors #PremierLeague could reopen, pay attention to #Everton in this sense

Zaniolo who has been absent from training the last few days has also taken ‘Football player AS Roma’ out of his Instagram ‘bio’ this week and it would be difficult for him to go back to Rome under the current circumstances.
For Everton, we are desperate for new signings especially those with creative ability and Zaniolo definitely can produce something from nothing, and if Everton can get an agreement with Mourinho for a loan with a potential option to buy at the end of the season it would make perfect sense.
Do you think we will make any signings before the deadline?
