Foxes Lock Sights On Everton

Leicester City to Rival Merseyside Club for January Transfer Target

Leicester City have reportedly joined Everton in the race to sign Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal in the January transfer window.

The Foxes are in need of attacking reinforcements after a disappointing start to the season, while Everton are looking to add depth to their squad as they aim to avoid a relegation battle.

Danjuma a Versatile Option

Danjuma is a versatile forward who can play on either wing or as a central striker.

He has been in impressive form for Villarreal this season, scoring six goals in 17 appearances in all competitions.

The 25-year-old is also a full international for the Netherlands, having made his debut in 2018.

Transfer Fee a Stumbling Block?

One potential stumbling block to a deal is Danjuma's transfer fee.

Villarreal are reportedly demanding around £40 million for the forward, which could be a problem for Leicester City who are operating on a tight budget.

Everton, on the other hand, may be willing to pay a higher fee given their need for reinforcements.

Other Options for Leicester City

If Leicester City are unable to sign Danjuma, they could turn their attention to other attacking targets.

One option is Southampton's Che Adams, who has been linked with a move to the King Power Stadium in the past.

Another possibility is Burnley's Maxwel Cornet, who is available for a cut-price fee in January.

Everton's Other Transfer Targets

Everton are also interested in signing other players in the January transfer window.

One target is Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.

The Toffees are also reportedly interested in signing a new goalkeeper, with Jordan Pickford's future at the club uncertain.
