Everton signing Thomas Delaine would hardly prove their ambition

Everton are said to have sent scouts to watch Thomas Delaine in recent weeks.

According to Le Parisan, Everton are scouting Thomas Delaine – but there is surely no way they should be signing the FC Paris left-back.

Everton may need addition on the left-hand side of their defence, but if they bring in Delaine to solve their current problems then serious questions will be asked.

Delaine may have had a solid season in Ligue 2, but he is now 26 and is hardly a signing that would take Everton on to the next level.

Sam Allardyce has already suggested that he only wants to make additions that would improve Everton’s first-team.

And suggesting that Delaine would be an upgrade on Leighton Baines would be a tough argument to make.

Delaine is currently playing in the second tier of French football, and he has never played at a higher standard.

Given that the full-back is already 26, he can hardly be considered a promising prospect anymore.

And Everton would be better off avoiding the deal and looking at more proven talent this summer.
