Everton are interested in signing Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic on the final day of the January transfer window, according to The Telegraph (Transfer Live blog, 11:56am, January 31, 2022).

The Telegraph have reported that Everton are considering making a bid for Madrid striker Jovic.

The report has claimed that Spanish and European giants Madrid will allow the Serbia international striker to leave on loan for the rest of the season.

Luka Jovic to Everton makes sense

In our view, Jovic potentially moving to Everton on loan for the rest of the season makes sense.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has only just returned from a spell on the sidelines with injury.

The Toffees could be sucked into a Premier League relegation fight, and new manager Frank Lampard does need options upfront.

So, in our view, a short-term deal for 24-year-old Jovic could help.

Jovic has struggled at Madrid, and he could be tempted to move to Everton and get some decent playing time.

The striker is a very talented player and is highly rated.

Lionel Messi described Jovic as “a magical player who makes the impossible possible” in SportBible in September 2020.

That tells a lot about Jovic and what Everton could get if they sign him now.
