According to Kicker, reported Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers target Jhon Cordoba is set for a move to Hertha Berlin in a deal worth around £14 million.

Cordoba’s contract at current club Koln expires in 2021.

The Bundesliga side tried to tie him down to a longer deal. Cordoba, however, rejected their latest offer and now Koln are intent on cashing in on him.

According to a report by the Express last month, his situation alerted Wolves with the 6ft 2inch striker said to be keen on a move to England.

Fellow German editorial Bild claimed on Saturday that Everton were also suitors.

But the Premier League duo are now set to miss out. Kicker say Cordoba was left on the bench of Koln’s DFB cup game ahead of a £14 million move to Hertha Berlin.

It seems somewhat of a sideways move for Cordoba.

After netting 14 goals last season, adding to the 21 the year before, many felt the 27-year-old was ready to test himself at a higher level perhaps at a European club.

But instead, he’s joining a Hertha side who finished just five points above Koln last term.

As for Wolves, they may still look to find an immediate alternative to Mexico international Raul Jimenez with new signing Fabio Silva one for the future.

Everton, on the other hand, started their Premier League campaign with an excellent performance in the 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

But beyond Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, there aren’t many proven alternatives upfront with Moise Kean very much a work in progress.
