Everton are reportedly among the ‘hottest contenders’ to sign Denzel Dumfries in the summer transfer window.
The Lowdown: Everton want Dumfries
According to Sport (via Sport Witness), the Goodison Park faithful have called the agent of Dumfries Milo Raiola over a potential deal to sign him from PSV.
It is a story that has been heating up since the beginning of Euro 2020, in where Dumfries has shone for the Netherlands so far, scoring two goals in the group stages from the right-back position (Sofascore).
The Latest: Dumfries latest
As per Bild (via Sport Witness), the Merseyside club are among the ‘hottest contenders’ to sign Dumfries, along with Inter Milan.
However, the news outlet also claims that they are looking to raise funds by selling players first of all before making their move.
The Verdict: Get it done!
Not only has he shown his attacking exploits in the Euros, but Dumfries also scored four goals and made a further nine assists in 41 matches over all competitions in the 2020/21 season at club level (Transfermarkt), further highlighting his qualities.
At just 25 years of age, and being the captain of his club, he would certainly appear to be an ideal long-term successor to Seamus Coleman.
Marcel Brands is also thought to be a big fan of the Dutchman, which should give the Toffees a bigger incentive to go and sign him up.
