# Everton: Adnan Januzaj ‘interested’ in Toffees move

**Free agent Adnan Januzaj is reportedly ‘interested’ in a move to [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) if Anthony Gordon leaves.**

### The Lowdown: Chelsea interest

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-chelsea-ready-50m-anthony-gordon-bid-amid-new-everton-twist/), Chelsea are readying an improved £50m bid for Gordon, after having their first offer rejected by the Goodison Park outfit.

Were the Blues to accept a new bid, the Merseyside club would of course have to find a replacement, having already lost key attackers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison to injury and transfers respectively.

### The Latest: Januzaj ‘interested’

Taking to Twitter, journalist [Sacha Tavolieri](https://twitter.com/sachatavolieri/status/1560347393320689666) has revealed that Januzaj would be ‘interested’ in a move to Frank Lampard’s team should Gordon depart, adding that he has ‘refused’ all other offers so far:

*“Adnan #Januzaj waits #EvertonFC! The leaders of #Toffees checked the name of #DiablesRouges in the event of Antony’s departure #Gordon. Reciprocal interests. #Januzaj, interested, has refused everything so far because he wants to find the #PremierLeague!”*

### The Verdict: Sign

As a free agent, the Toffees won’t find much better than signing a player of the quality and experience that Januzaj has.

Hailed as ‘very special’ and ‘gifted’ by journalist [David Cartlidge](https://twitter.com/davidjaca/status/1330552702833713157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), the Belgium international showed a lot of promise coming through as a youngster at Manchester United, where then manager David Moyes even [likened](https://www.eurosport.com/football/premier-league/2011-2012/fortune-januzaj-reminds-me-of-ronaldo_sto3985480/story.shtml) him to world superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Since then, he has made [nearly 300](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adnan-januzaj/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/177847) senior appearances for both club and country combined, playing at a high level for the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad, and at 27, is entering his prime.

Of course, losing Gordon would be a big blow, but signing up Januzaj would save the Blues a lot of money, which could then be used to bring in a much-needed new striker.
