Premier League outfit Everton have been linked with rising Denmark star Robert Skov Olsen.

Andreas Skov Olsen of FC Nordsjalland looks on during the Danish Superliga match between FC Midtjylland and FC Nordsjalland at MCH Arena on March 4, 2019 in Herning, Denmark.

Any club who wants to sign a prolific winger who scored 26 goals last season would usually have to pay up and pay big.

We live in a world where goalscoring wideman cost a bomb with Eden Hazard moving to Real Madrid for almost £100 million while huge fees have been quoted for the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Sadio Mane and Florian Thauvin.

Robert Skov Olsen, however, found the net more often than Hazard, Pepe, Mane and Thauvin during the 2018/19 season. And he’d cost a lot less too.

According to The Mirror, Danish outfit Nordsjaelland are willing to accept a cut-price £15 million for their 19-year-old prized asset this summer with just one year remaining on his contract.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen and so are Everton, as reported by The Sun.

Now, Skov Olsen is far from the finished article and he is yet to prove himself outside of his homeland but he is most certainly a risk worth taking at £15 million – a fee that would hardly break the bank for an Everton side who are crying out for some added firepower as The Toffees look to break into that exclusive top six club.

And considering that Marco Silva has a fine track record when it comes to blooding young talent, it is not a stretch to imagine that Skov Olsen’s value could skyrocket by making a summer switch to Merseyside.
