# Everton: Fans laud link to Atletico Madrid ace Santiago Arias

**Plenty of Everton fans have been lauding a transfer link to Santiago Arias as Spanish football journalist Carlos Aleman has reported on his official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CarlosAlemanJ/status/1303680215428878336) page that the Merseyside club are back in for the Atletico Madrid ace in the summer window having previously cooled their interest.**

Indeed, the future of Jonjoe Kenny is [uncertain](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/everton-fans-split-on-jonjoe-kenny-as-his-future-is-uncertain/) at the Toffees following his loan spell away at German side FC Schalke 04, while Djibril Sidibe has [returned](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/djibril-sidibe/transfers/spieler/161869) to AS Monaco after his own loan spell at Goodison Park.

Therefore Carlo Ancelotti may be looking to strengthen in the right-back area with potentially just club-captain Seamus Coleman to call upon in that position if Kenny were to leave.

Arias averaged more tackles, interceptions, blocks, shots, key passes and crosses than the Irish international (per [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison)) in their respective domestic leagues in the 2019/20 term, and so the 28-year old may be a viable option for the Italian boss should the Blues decide to make an official offer.

These EFC supporters lauded the link on Twitter:
