Everton boss Marco Silva should look to land the Chelsea defender on loan this summer.
Everton have finally landed their man in Marco Silva, but now it is time for the club to invest in the team.
However, before the Toffees can make lucrative offers to clubs, players must be offloaded at Goodison Park to raise funds, according to a report from Sky Sports News. But perhaps the new boss could look at loan deals in the meantime.
There s no question that Everton’s defence needs improving this summer, with the likes of Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams coming to the end of their careers on Merseyside, and Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma would be a great option for next term.
With Stoke City facing a campaign in the Championship, and parent club Chelsea looking for instant success next season, playing time for the Frenchman will not be high on the list of priorities at Stamford Bridge.
The 23-year-old has shown immense promise since his promotion from the academy and is now beginning to establish himself as an impressive defender, using his physicality and aggression to keep opposition attackers out frequently.
Everton’s defence was woeful at times last season prior to the appointment of Sam Allardyce, and there is no question quality additions must be made if the side are to transition into the attacking football desired in the near future.
Zouma could be one such target, with a loan option allowing Everton to direct their funds elsewhere.
