Everton boss Marco Silva is looking for a new right-winger and Jonathan Ikone could fill that role perfectly.
Everton should make a move for Lille forward Jonathan Ikone, after seeing the damage that he did to England’s under-21’s last night.
Ikone shone during France youngster’s victory against the Three Lions, and he has a lot of the qualities which Everton are looking for.
Marco Silva’s side are looking for a left-footed winger who can play down the right flank, as reported by the Liverpool Echo, and Ikone is perfect for that role.
The Lille man can play anywhere across the front-line and Everton would be wise to move for him before his profile sky rockets.
Ikone has been rather overshadowed by Nicolas Pepe at Lille over the past campaign, but the 21-year-old has enjoyed a fine season in Ligue 1.
Ikone has contributed three goals and 10 assists, and he would improve Everton’s attack significantly.
The winger is blessed with speed and skill, and England’s youngsters simply couldn’t cope with him yesterday.
Ikone scored France’s first goal as they staged a late comeback, and Silva should have seen enough just in that display to tell him that the rapid wide-man would be a brilliant addition at Everton this summer.
