The Rennes ace would be a superb addition for Everton.

Marco Silva the head coach

Everton boss Marco Silva will surely be keen to bolster his attacking ranks at Goodison Park this summer.

The Toffees are expected to make a real push for a top six place during this upcoming season, but it could be argued that they are still at least one attacking player short.

And with this in mind, Everton should consider making a move for Rennes ace Ismaila Sarr this summer.

The 21-year-old was in fine form for Rennes last season, racking up 13 goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances in all competitions, and he would be a superb addition for the Blues.

He’s young

It will be vital for Silva to not only add quality to his front-line, but youth as well this summer. Theo Walcott is 30 now, and there is only so much time left before he will begin to lose his pace and dynamism.

At 21, Sarr could be just the man for the job for Everton.

Blistering pace

The 21-capped Senegal international is as quick as they come, and he could form a devastating partnership with Richarlison at Goodison Park.

Sarr is direct in the manner in which he operates, and he would slot perfectly into Silva’s system.

Everton want to sign a winger as a priority

According to French publication RMC Sport, Silva has prioritised the signing of a winger this summer, and the Rennes ace certainly fits into that category.

It could be argued that Sarr would be an upgrade upon Walcott too.

The 21-year-old is valued at around £36 million, according to the Express, and in today’s day and age, that would represent excellent value for money for Everton.
