Reported Everton target Adnan Januzaj would be a brilliant addition to Marco Silva’s squad.

Everton go into the 2018/19 season needing more wide options in their squad, as that was an issue that plagued them throughout the last campaign.

Toffees manager Marco Silva looks short of quality wingers in his ranks, but he could solve that by the fact that he is reportedly chasing Adnan Januzaj at Real Sociedad.

Everton have made contact with the La Liga outfit about the 23-year-old and are in talks about trying to bring him to Goodison Park, according to a report from Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.

He will be familiar to Premier League audiences from his time with Manchester United and a return to England now could be perfect timing for the Merseyside club.

The winger has just had a full season under his belt with Sociedad, where he was directly involved in 10 goals in 35 appearances.

The Belgium international also scored a wonder goal at the World Cup to beat England during a group stage match and there is every change he could be an impressive addition to Silva’s squad.

Everton are crying out for an extra wide option going into next year and Januzaj would be able to stretch opposition defences, while he is also effective off either wing.

According to a report from Turkish outlet Fanatik, Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has agreed terms with Fenerbahce ahead of a potential switch.

The Toffees should go all out to try bring in Januzaj as a replacement and he is talented enough to force his way into the starting XI next season, providing strong competition for the likes of Theo Walcott, Ademola Lookman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

There is also a sense that Januzaj has unfinished business in the Premier League and Everton could be the perfect platform for him to right some wrongs.
