Everton are reportedly keen on RB Leipzig forward Jean-Kevin Augustin.
Everton are likely to be in the market for a new striker in January, and a new name has been linked in recent days.
The Toffees splashed the cash on Cenk Tosun in the last January transfer window, but the Turkish striker has struggled to score goals this season.
Richarlison has been pressed into action as a striker, but his future may be as a winger, potentially forcing Marcel Brands and Marco Silva to sign a recognised striker.
The Sun reported on Sunday that Everton are now keen to sign RB Leipzig ace Jean-Kevin Augustin, though the Bundesliga side want a huge £38million for him.
Formerly of Paris Saint-Germain, Augustin hit 11 goals for Leipzig last season, and has hit six goals so far this term, showing real promise in Germany.
The 21-year-old looks to have potential, but it’s fair to say that Everton fans are a little unsure about Brands making a move for him next month.
Fans took to Twitter to suggest that Augustin is ‘sub standard’ and fear that Ademola Lookman may be demanded in a swap deal for the French talent, with many simply saying ‘no thanks’ to a player with his limited goal record.
