Everton are interested in completing the signing of a “very dangerous” midfielder this summer, according to journalist Alan Nixon's review.
Everton transfer news
Blues supporters will be hoping for an excellent summer in the transfer market as Sean Dyche and his team look to move on after a frustrating season of points grabs and transfer turmoil.
A number of players continue to be linked with Everton ahead of potential games at the end of the campaign, with Blackburn Rovers striker Sammie Szmodics seen as an interesting option to come in and provide competition for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. His 27 goals in the Championship this season mean he is the top goalscorer, and it seems the Blues believe he can make the move to the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Hull City defender Jacob Greaves is tipped to replace Jarrad Branthwaite if the England international leaves Goodison Park in the summer. He averaged 4.3 aerial duels per game in the tournament's 43 contests this term, and 1.8 tackles per game.
Celtic youngster Rocco Vata is reported to be considered as a replacement for Amadou Onana, if the current Blues player leaves, while Boulaye Dia is considered to be better than Calvert-Lewin, as he has scored four goals in Serie A for Salernitana this season.
Everton want 'very dangerous' ace
According to Nixon on Patreon (via Goodison News), Everton are well placed to sign Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl in the summer window.
He said: “Rohl will only cost around £12m, which is attractive to Newcastle and Palace, who have him on their target list.”
The 21-year-old has been tipped to fill the void left by Onana, and the Belgian could move on to pastures new, with an offer of £12m not enough for the Blues to land their man.
Rohl could be a smart signing by Everton in the coming months, coming in as a young player with years ahead of him, but also someone who has already gained a lot of experience. The £13,000-a-week midfielder has scored two goals and provided three assists in the Bundesliga this season, and Germany Under-21s coach Antonio Di Salvo said of him:
“He fought back and entered [Freiburg’s] the group. That's not easy. He focused on defense and came into his own offensively. He scored a great goal on Sunday with a great solo run that highlighted his qualities. Fast and determined, he is a powerful stopper. He also scored the best goal in the European Cup. He's too dangerous right now.”

Rohl could bring quality to Everton's final third, with much-needed firepower after scoring just 38 times in 36 Premier League games this season, and his versatility could be an added bonus for Dyche, where the German can shine. in attacking midfield as well. in wide areas.
