Marco Silva’s Everton reportedly want to bring Spartak Moscow’s Czech Republic midfielder Alex Kral to the Premier League.
Everton are reportedly interested in signing Spartak Moscow enforcer Alex Kral and the youngster’s agent has now admitted to Sport.cz that he is indeed aware of Premier League interest.
The Czech Republic international moved to Russia from Slavia Prague in his homeland last summer for a fee of around £10 million but, after just a few weeks in the capital, he is already being linked with a move to England.
ClubCall reported earlier in the week that Everton have been keeping a close eye on a man who impressed as the Czech Republic inflicted England’s first qualifying defeat for a decade during October’s international break.
Kral averages 2.8 tackles per game, a tally far greater than any of the midfielders currently at Marco Silva’s disposal, with the poodle-haired ball-winner perhaps identified as the man to fill the Idrissa Gana Gueye-shaped hole in the Toffees midfield.
And Karol Kisel, owner of the K2K Sports agency which represents Kral, has now offered an intriguing insight into the speculation.
“We know of interest in the Premier League, they’ve been watching Alex for a long time,” Kisel said, before adding that the 21-year-old is happy in Moscow.
“At the moment, we are not dealing with a transfer. But in the future, this is certainly an option.”
It seems very unlikely that Kral will be heading to Merseyside in January but he could be an option at the end of the season.
