Everton were linked with the winger back in the summer of 2017.

Yann Karamoh is back on the shortlist of West Ham United, according to Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, and he speed machine could be available for as little as £13million. Everton cannot let the Hammers go without a fight.

Karamoh, 20, is currently on loan with French side Bordeaux from Inter Milan, after failing to impress with Italian outfit since completing a move from Caen to the Giuseppe Meazza last summer.

Back in France, Karamoh has hit the ground running. The Ivory Coast-born France Under-21 international has scored two goals and created an assist in 11 league and cup appearances.

Now, reports suggest West Ham are interested in signing the fleet-footed star in the January transfer window, with a price tag of £13million being mooted – and that should convince Everton to reignite their interest.

Everton were first linked with a move for Karamoh before he joined Inter, with French magazine France Football reporting that he could join The Toffees prior to the 2017-18 campaign.

The likes of Bernard, Richarlison, Ademola Lookman and Theo Walcott provide width for Marco Silva’s side, but Lookman is continually linked with a return to RB Leipzig while Richarlison has been used up front.

Even with plenty of options, Karamoh may be seen as a worthwhile signing because of his age, with the youngster already showing bags of quality and enough potential to see him become a big player in European football in years to come.

Landing him, then, for a bargain £13million is simply a must for Everton, but if they are to reignite their interested in the pacy attacker then they must beat West Ham to his signature.
