Januzaj played under former Everton boss at Manchester United and Sunderland.

Everton are in the running to sign Manchester United outcast Adnan Januzaj this summer, Sky Bet‘s latest odds suggest.
Januzaj recently returned to United following a season on loan at Sunderland, where he linked up with ex-Everton manager David Moyes – his former boss at Old Trafford.

But the Belgian playmaker is expected to leave the Red Devils this summer and, according to ESPN, could be available for as little as £8 million, with his contract due to expire next summer.
With odds of 5/4, Real Sociedad – another of Moyes’ old clubs – are the current bookies favourites to take Januzaj off United’s hands before 3 September, with Malaga [9/2] and Sunderland [11/2] right behind the Basque side.
But at 7/1, it seems a move to Everton cannot be ruled out as a potential destination for the 22-year-old.
Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has already admitted wanting to add to his attacking options this summer and given the impact he’s had on other young talents, the Dutchman may be tempted to pounce at £8 million.

Januzaj burst onto the scene at United nearly four years ago, but has since fallen out of favour and failed to score a single goal for loan clubs Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland.
