# Everton: Toffees eye move for Aster Vranckx

**Everton are one of the clubs looking at Wolfsburg midfielder Aster Vranckx, according to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/everton-piace-un-ex-obiettivo-del-milan-84765).**

### The lowdown

The 19-year-old only joined Wolfsburg from Belgian outfit KV Mechelen last summer in a [£7.2m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aster-vranckx/transfers/spieler/503881) deal.

While predominantly a central midfielder, he has [also been used](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aster-vranckx/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/503881) in more defensive and attacking roles in the middle third of the pitch.

Now valued at £9m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aster-vranckx/leistungsdaten/spieler/503881), the teenager has made [11 Bundesliga starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aster-vranckx/leistungsdaten/spieler/503881) for the mid-table outfit and is currently enjoying a streak of four starts in succession.

### The latest

The report from [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/everton-piace-un-ex-obiettivo-del-milan-84765) stated that Everton recruitment staff have ‘set their sights’ on Vranckx ahead of the summer transfer window.

It also noted that he has previously attracted interest from Serie A giants AC Milan.

### The verdict

When assessing Vranckx’s numbers, a few attributes stand out. First and foremost, he completes a relatively high volume of dribbles, ranking in the 93rd percentile among positional peers in the top five leagues (via [FBRef](https://fbref.com/en/players/f86cd5df/Aster-Vranckx)).

Also, Everton fans will surely be glad to hear that he seems to boast an exceptional work rate, slotting into the [91st percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/f86cd5df/Aster-Vranckx) for pressures and blocks per 90 minutes.

Vranckx went viral during his time in Belgium for all the wrong reasons, with [a clip of him](https://twitter.com/Ankaman616/status/1304817620890398720) inexplicably missing an open goal against KV Oostende attracting [6.3 million views](https://twitter.com/Ankaman616/status/1304817620890398720).

Beyond that blooper, though, he is part of a ‘very exciting’ crop of young midfield talents emerging for his country, in the words of talent scout [Jacek Kulig](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1478481306497519617), and he could be worth keeping an eye on for Toffees fans.
