Everton and Crystal Palace have been linked with Ozan Tufan.
According to Milliyet, Fenerbahce are ready to cash in on reported Everton and Crystal Palace target Ozan Tufan for a cut-price fee.
The Turkey international has been linked with a move to the Premier League.
A report by Turkish Football claimed both Everton and Palace sent scouts to watch Tufan in action during the Istanbul derby two months ago.
The talented midfielder has posted three goals and five assists in 25 league games.
Aside from his goal contributions, Tufan averages two tackles, 1.4 key passes and an 82.5% pass-accuracy rate per league encounter (Whoscored).
His £17 million release clause makes him a viable target for wealthy Premier League clubs.
But, according to Milliyet, the Covid-19 virus and suspension means Fenerbahce face a financial crisis and they’re willing to sell Tufan in a cut-price deal.
The Turkish editorial claim the Yellow Submarine will seek a £10.5 million fee.
Everton must strengthen if they are to take the next step under Carlo Ancelotti.
In the Toffees’ last encounter, a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea, Ancelotti’s side were outclassed with midfielders Tom Davies and Andre Gomes struggling.
Deep-lying playmaker Tufan could be an ideal addition at Goodison Park.
Palace, meanwhile, are among the lowest scorers in the Premier League with 26 goals in 29 games. Roy Hodgson must add more creativity to the side.
