# 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](https://www.transfermarkt.com/mateo-kovacic/nationalmannschaft/spieler/51471) – 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!***
