Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the queue of clubs keen on the Bosnian.
The German football magazine Sport Bild has claimed that Schalke 04 defender Sead Kolasinac is ‘on the list’ of Premier League sides Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, as reported by Sport Witness.
Kolasinac, who has also been linked with moves to Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham United in recent weeks (Bild), is out of contract at the end of the campaign.
On the face of it, neither Everton nor Tottenham are in any obvious need of a left-back, especially if Brendan Galloway returns to Goodison Park early in January.
However, Kolasinac can also operate at centre-back and defensive midfield, and has filled in on the left wing in Schalke’s last three fixtures.
That sort of versatility is sure to appeal to both sides, especially given that Roma are said to have been quoted €20 million for the player in 2015.
Spurs’ Ben Davies has also been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane, and Mauricio Pochettino’s side may be more willing to sell if they think they could sign essentially the same player for free.
Kolasinac, 23, has 14 caps for Bosnia & Herzegovina, where his teammates include Everton midfielder Mo Besic.
