Everton Desperate To Sign Man Utd Outcast Memphis Depay After Bolasie Injury

Published on:

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has identified Memphis Depay and Manolo  Gabbiadini as he has to replace Yannick Bolaise in the January transfer window.

Everton was keen on roping in the services of Gabbiadini but Napoli turned rejected their £12m bid for the star Italian winger.

Manolo GabbiadiniNapoli has set a higher asking price of £18m for Gabbiadini and it is believed that Everton might match the price to fill in the void after Bolasie was ruled out due to an injury.

Ronald KoemanKoeman said: “Maybe it’s necessary that we need to sign somebody in that position, yes.”

“We are looking for players to bring in different positions because we need to be stronger from January. For Bolasie it’s a big injury. He had a scan last Monday, and that showed he had damaged the cruciate ligaments — and maybe something more in his knee.”

“We are looking for some good options and maybe it is more necessary now than it was before because we have lost Yannick for a long time.”

“It’s a big loss for everybody — for the player, his team-mates and the whole club. He’s an important player and it’s a long-term injury.”
