Everton make contact over deal for Belgian international

Everton have reportedly come into contact with ex-Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj.

According to sources at Mail Online, Januzaj has been approached by Everton over a potential transfer back to the Premier League.

The 23-year-old left Manchester United last summer to join Spanish club Real Sociedad. However, reports this morning suggest the Belgian winger could be heading to Goodison Park in the coming weeks.

Januzaj showed his capabilities at this summer’s World Cup in Russia. where he scored a sublime curling effort against England in their final group match of the tournament.

Januzaj’s first spell in England did not particularly work out as planned. Labelled upon arrival as a wonderkid, the pressure seemed to get to Januzaj who failed to deliver on multiple occasions for United and was soon loaned out to Borussia Dortmund and then Sunderland.

In preparation for next season, Marco Silva is using the summer transfer window to make much-needed changes to the Everton squad he inherited from Sam Allardyce earlier in the summer.

He has also reportedly already set his sights on Danny Welbeck and Richarlison and now Januzaj is the latest name to a long list of summer targets.

Last season Januzaj impressed for Sociedad providing goals and assists and showed signs of being the player he was hailed to be at United.

 

Januzaj knows England well having spent a large proportion of his career in the country and a move to Goodison could be the ideal proving ground for the Belgian who’s turned heads the last 12 months.
