Everton should go all out to land this £30m-rated World Cup midfielder this summer

Everton will be hoping to add some quality this summer as they look to have an improved campaign this time around.

Backed and led by new manager Marco Silva, the Toffees will be confident of improving on last term, and with a squad which already boasts plenty of talent following two windows of big spending, only a few additions will likely be needed to turn the club into real challengers.

Our landlord thinks a few players in key positions will be just the ticket at Goodison Park, and he’s been keeping a close eye on proceedings in the World Cup this summer.

One player who he thinks could do a superb job for the Toffees is current Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who has been involved in all the games this summer, despite not always being a starter.

However, Kovacic is a quality operator, and with his minutes on the pitch at Madrid often limited, he could well feel the need to move to a club where he will be the main man.

Everton are club where he would be just that, and a player of his calibre and pedigree would certainly be welcomed at Goodison.

Good in possession, a goal threat when he wants to be, and a player who is willing to fight for any cause, Kovacic – who is rated at £30m by Transfermarkt – would be a superb addition for Everton and would surely endear himself to fans with his style of play and ability.

Toffees fans, what do you thnk? Good signing? Let us know in the comments!
