The towering defender has proven to be a major threat from dead balls, and if he joins Everton, he could make the Toffees a huge danger.
Gylfi Sigurdsson is one of the Premier League’s most skilled set-piece takers, and if he is floating balls in for Mina to attack, then nobody will be wanting to give away cheap free-kicks from Marco Silva’s side.
Silva’s teams generally are famed for their fast-tempo, attacking football – but carrying a threat from set-pieces will give them a new method to threaten opposition teams.
Mina’s performances at the World Cup are likely to have raised his price-tag higher than ever before, but he could be a fine addition to Everton’s team.
The Toffees need a more commanding centre-back, as they struggled defensively last term.
And Mina’s ability to tighten up their backline, while also making them more of a goal threat, has to make him an appealing target for Silva’s side.
