Everton have reportedly made Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma their top transfer target this summer – but should the Toffees consider looking elsewhere?
According to BBC Sport, cited by HITC, Marco Silva is desperate to land Zouma this summer after securing the permanent services of fellow loan star Andre Gomes from Barcelona.
The report claims that the Toffees may have to be at least £30m for the Frenchman following an impressive campaign at Goodison Park.
Silva is in desperate need for defensive reinforcements this summer, and a move for Zouma appears to be a smart one considering the impact he had last season.
However, the Toffees have also been linked with big money moves for Real Sociedad’s Diego Llorente and Getafe’s Dakonam Djene this summer.
The La Liga duo are highly thought of in Spain, but with no Premier League experience, moves for the pair would be risky.
If Everton can strike a deal for Zouma in the region of £30m, it could turn out to be a bargain price for the 24-year-old, who may well be a mainstay in the Toffees defence for years to come.
