Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want the AC Milan ace, but Everton should be challenging them for his signature.

Marco Silva the head coach

Everton boss Marco Silva will surely be looking to bolster his ranks at Goodison Park this summer, in an effort tot build a squad capable of kicking on again next season and making a sustained push for the top six.

One area where the Portuguese will undoubtedly be looking to strengthen is his wide attacking ranks, with Theo Walcott failing to deliver on a consistent enough basis and Ademola Lookman being linked with the exit door (Daily Mail).

And with this in mind, the Toffees should consider challenging their bitter rivals Liverpool and Tottenham in the race to sign £33 million-rated Suso from AC Milan this summer.

Italian media outlet TuttoMercatoWeb claims that the Reds and Spurs both want to sign the Spaniard, but he’d be perfect for Everton.

Suso, 25, has a £33 million release clause inserted into his current contract with Milan, according to talkSPORT, and in today’s day and age, that would surely represent excellent value for money.

The Spaniard racked up eight goals and nine assists in 40 appearances in all competitions for Milan this season – more goal involvements than Everton’s Richarlison.

The Toffees need more creativity and guile in the final third, and Suso would be just the ticket.

The AC Milan star would be a real coup for Everton, and beating Liverpool and Tottenham to his signature would be a real statement of intent from Marco Silva’s side.
