Dragovic endured a difficult loan spell at Leicester City last season, but has since been linked with Everton.
Everton are reportedly in talks with Bayer Leverkusen defender Aleksandar Dragovic over a move to Goodison Park despite a poor campaign on loan at Leicester City last term – and the majority of Everton fans are excited.
The Leicester Mercury claim negotiations between the 27-year-old’s entourage and Everton have already taken place this summer, with a view to a permanent move for the Leverkusen man.
Dragovic was loaned to 2015-16 Premier League champions Leicester last summer, but managed only 11 Premier League appearances for Claude Puel’s side as the Foxes preferred the likes of Harry Maguire and Wes Morgan.
However, Dragovic still boasts a decent reputation in European football after earning 63 caps with Austria and turning out 24 times for Leverkusen, as well as winning league titles twice in Ukraine and three times in Switzerland.
Everton have plenty of options at centre-back, but strengthening is required. Ashley Williams has suffered a long-term injury, while Phil Jagielka is now aged 35. Michael Keane failed to prove his £25million transfer fee last term.
That could see the Toffees move for Dragovic, and fans are keen for their club to lure Dragovic back to England and onto Merseyside. One fan Tweeted: “Get him just because he sounds like a Bond villain.”
