Everton are reportedly interested in Ibrahim Sangare.
The report has claimed that the Toffees have scouted the midfielder for the past 18 months and opted against signing him last summer, moving for Jean-Philippe Gbamin for £22.5 million instead.
Toulouse wanted £22 million as transfer fee for the 22-year-old 6ft 3in midfielder this summer, but after being relegated from Ligue 1 and due to him out of contract in 2021, they will have to settle for a reduced price, according to the report.
Stats
According to WhoScored, Sangare made 25 appearances in Ligue 1 for Toulouse this season, providing one assist in the process.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the youngster made 27 starts and one substitute appearance in the league, scoring one goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
Good signing for Everton?
Sangare is a very good and talented young midfielder who can only get better in the coming years.
Everton could do with refreshing the midfield department this summer, and the Ivory Coast international would be a smart signing for a relatively low fee amid the economic uncertainty caused by the global health crisis.
Football in England is suspended at the moment, while Ligue 1 has already been called.
