Everton must snap up these 2 Bundesliga stars in January

Sebastian Rudy

With James McCarthy likely to leave in January, Darron Gibson out of favour, and Gareth Barry 36 in February, manager Koeman may want to freshen things up in the middle of the park.

Thus, he could take a look at Hoffenheim midfielder Sebastian Rudy, 12-times a German international.

The 26-year-old has been impressive in the middle for the German side this season, netting once and laying on four assists to help the club to an unbeaten start to their league campaign.

He’d certainly bolster Koeman’s midfield options, and could be the mainstay of the Everton midfield alongside Idrissa Gueye and Tom Cleverley for years to come.
