Everton are said to be one of the leading contenders in the race to sign Justin Kluivert from Ajax.

Kluivert looks to be one of the most the talented teenagers in all of world football, and he has attracted admiring glances from some of Europe’s top sides.
However, Everton are said to be considering the 19-year-old attacker and if they could pull off the transfer it would be the best addition they have made since Farhad Moshiri took charge.
Moshiri has backed Everton with significant funds to taking over as the Merseyside club’s owner.

But the addition of Kluivert would be a landmark capture for the Toffees to make.
If Kluivert was to arrive at Goodison Park would show that Everton can compete for the brightest talents across Europe, and that would surely attract more players to the Merseyside club.
Kluivert could also offer Everton an immediate injection of quality.

The Dutch international has torn apart defences in Holland this season, and contributed 10 goals and five assists in 30 league appearances for Ajax.
Kluivert has dazzled with his trickery and close control, combined with his agility.
And if Everton could complete the ambitious transfer it would really send out of a statement of intent ahead of the new campaign.
