Everton strike target is available for £10.5m

Everton strike target Max Kruse is available for just £10.5m.

According to TalkSPORT the striker is set to leave Werder Bremen in the summer with Everton watching Kruse a number of times this season.

The 29-year-old moved to Bremen at the start of the season in a £6.8m deal and will be allowed to move on for a modest profit after scoring 15 goals in the Bundesliga.

Ronald Koeman is looking to bring in a couple of striking options as he attempts to reduce his side’s dependency on Romelu Lukaku or prepares for life after the Belgian striker quits the club.

Kruse has been a regular scorer throughout his career playing for clubs such as Borussia Monchengladbach, Freiburg and St Pauli.

At £10.5m in the current climate Everton will need to move quickly to secure a deal with Koeman keeping an eye on a number of options as he attempts to turn Everton into a side challenging for a Champions League place.
