# Everton: Dennis Geiger ‘one to look out for’ in January

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) making a move to sign Hoffenheim midfielder Dennis Geiger in January is ‘one to look out for’, according to transfer insider [Dean Jones](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor).**

### The Lowdown: Free agent in 2023

The German’s contract with the Bundesliga giants is set to [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tsg-1899-hoffenheim/vertragsende/verein/533) at the end of the season, meaning that he is able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with potential suitors from January onwards.

### The Latest: Jones’ comments

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88088077-everton-dennis-geiger-transfer-rumours), Jones claimed that Everton supporters will have been hoping to be linked to more of a household name, but insisted that Geiger is the right profile of player they should be targeting.

*“At a time when they are uncertain where they are going to be finishing in the league, I think that Everton fans might be a little bit underwhelmed, but it is one to look out for, because this is the type of player I think we’ll be reading a lot about.”*

### The Verdict: One to watch?

Geiger has previously been [labelled](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/dennis-geiger-who-is-hoffenheim-midfielder-julian-nagelsmann-man-city-target-8350) a ‘live wire’ by Sandro Wagner, so the Merseyside outfit may well be getting a big character if they make their move.

The Mosbach native only averages [0.2](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322960/Show/Dennis-Geiger) shots per game but has averaged [1.6](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/1211/Show/Germany-Hoffenheim) key passes per game and has been Hoffenheim’s sixth-best performer this season, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/1211/Show/Germany-Hoffenheim).

Frank Lampard’s side are just [one](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) point above the relegation zone, so immediate January reinforcements could be required alongside working on a potential summer move for Geiger.
