What’s Hot and What’s Not: Everton Transfer Rumours

NOT: Belfodil

Who? Ishak Belfodil is the latest name to be linked with Everton.

Belfodil is a striker who plays for Standard Liege and is said to be worth in the realms of £10m.

The 24-year-old has already played for a number of clubs including Lyon, Bologna, Parma, Inter Milan and a couple in the United Arab Emirates.

It seems as if the striker has never settled, which is a worry when investing over £10m in a player.

Furthermore, his record of nine goals in 21 appearances for the Belgian side is not wholly impressive given the gap in quality between the Belgian league and the Premier League. Nonetheless, he is rumoured to be on his way to England for a medical at the club.

It would be frustrating to see Everton make the same mistake they did this time last year with Oumar Niasse.

Koeman would be better off spending the money on a player who is guaranteed to make some sort of impact, rather than throwing a good chunk of his spending allowance down the drain on a relative unknown.
