Everton remain interested in Domagoj Vida

Everton are still in the hunt to sign Domagoj Vida from Besiktas, following a long spell of reported interest.

According to Fotomac, Fulham are set to table a bid for the Croatia international, as the January transfer window edges ever closer.

Claudio Ranieri is keen on bringing in a new centre-back, with Vida’s experience something that could help the Cottagers avoid relegation back to the Championship.

Although it is Fulham’s interest that is currently making the headlines, Everton remain interested in acquiring his signature, too.

A summer move to Goodison Park was mooted, as well as a switch to a host of Premier League clubs, but Vida eventually stayed put in Turkey.

The 29-year-old enjoyed an excellent World Cup for Croatia, helping them reach the World Cup final.

Everton defence is arguably in need of reinforcements, with 30 goals conceded in 20 league games this season.

Whether they attempt to compete with Fulham remains to be seen – West Ham are also reportedly interested – but it is one to keep an eye on.
