Everton linked with Ocampos move – is it a deal worth pursuing?

Everton are being linked with a move to sign Marseille winger Lucas Ocampos this summer, but is it a deal that is worth pursuing for Marco Silva?

Calcio Mercato claims that the Toffees are keen on landing the player this summer, with the Ligue 1 side preparing to cash in, so we’re taking a look at what he could bring to Goodison Park.

Finding the right balance out wide has been something Silva has struggled with this season at Everton.

However, in recent weeks it seems that something has clicked in the final third. Bernard has come into his own and is finally showing signs he is really adapting to life in the Premier League.

Richarlison is also showing flashes of his brilliance once again and just needs to develop some consistency to cement himself as one of the best wide men in the Premier League.

Ultimately, if Everton are serious about their European aspirations, then they need a squad to match and Ocampos fits the bill for them. He has Europa League experience and if he is available for a smaller fee, Everton could do far worse than add this man to their squad.

matchday.
