# Everton: Toffees ‘tracking’ Gavin Bazunu

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are reportedly now ‘tracking’ Gavin Bazunu ahead of a potential move in the summer.**

### The Lowdown: Standout season

Bazunu has enjoyed a standout season at Portsmouth on loan from Manchester City, where he picked up their [Player of the Season](https://twitter.com/Pompey/status/1520866078578167822) and [Players’ Player of the Season](https://twitter.com/Pompey/status/1520866657975033856) awards.

He surprisingly missed out on League One’s Team of the Season, something which manager Danny Cowley branded as ‘[ridiculous](https://www.the42.ie/gavin-bazunu-7-5748041-Apr2022/)‘, but it is clear that the six-foot-two colossus has the potential to reach the very top.

### The Latest: Everton interest

Taking to Twitter, The Irish Independent journalist [Daniel McDonnell](https://twitter.com/McDonnellDan/status/1524662889814142976) has revealed that the Goodison Park faithful have been ‘tracking’ Bazunu’s performances in League One, and are now ‘considering’ a move for him this summer:

*“Everton are considering a summer move for Gavin Bazunu – have been tracking his L1 performances and interested if Man City opt to sell. As reported elsewhere, Southampton very keen and Bournemouth/Sheff U also in mix. If MCFC sell buyback option on cards.”*

### The Verdict: Depends on Pickford

A move for Bazunu may well depend on whether Jordan Pickford stays or goes next season.

It has been [reported](https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/everton-line-up-move-for-star-ireland-goalkeeper-gavin-bazunu-41641334.html) that the Merseyside club would be willing to listen to offers for their number one, whether they stay up or not, which would then pave the way for a new goalkeeper.

Dubbed ‘[different class](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/7588335/gavin-bazunu-praised-by-portsmouth-manager-as-different-class/)‘ by Pompey central defender Clark Robertson, Bazunu has already grabbed the number one spot for the [Republic of Ireland](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gavin-bazunu/nationalmannschaft/spieler/585550), but at just 20 years of age, it may be too soon for him to be starting in the Premier League just yet.
