Many Everton fans have been left buzzing as some transfer news emerged on Jonathan Ikone.
As per Milan Live, both the Goodison Park faithful as well as West Ham United are 'seriously considering' signing the LOSC Lille ace, while AC Milan have also been named as a possible destination.
He was a player who was a mainstay in the team that won the Ligue 1 title ahead of PSG so impressively last season, missing only one game and recording nine goal contributions (Transfermarkt).
Ikone would certainly be an upgrade on Alex Iwobi, given that he has averaged more shots (1.3), key passes (1.1), dribbles (1.1) in their respective domestic leagues so far this term (WhoScored), and the latter has not exactly hit the ground running on Merseyside.
At 23 years of age, the France international has not reached his peak yet as well, and so would be an exciting buy for the Toffees.

"Good alternative to Diaz who will be much more expensive now"
"Be a belter signing like"
"Oh PLEASE"
"Ooo yes"
"Bring him"
