It is claimed that Liverpool are big admirers of Mor, but Everton have also been alerted to his availability.

Everton will ‘battle it out’ with several clubs, including local rivals Liverpool, to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Emre Mor, that is according to The Sun.

Mor has struggled for regular opportunities since moving from FC Nordsjælland a year ago, and the report claims he ‘could move on’, before adding that Dortmund are ‘resigned to losing him’ this summer.

Fiorentina are said to be ‘pushing hard with a £10.7 million bid’, with the 20-year-old ‘keen to try his luck in the Premier League’.

And Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is described as being a ‘big admirer’ of Mor, who he allegedly tried to sign ahead of the player’s transfer to Dortmund and is ‘available for a bargain £12 million’.

But the report claims Everton have also been ‘alerted to his availability’, and could scupper Klopp’s hopes of a deal.

Everton have spent close to £100 million on transfers already this summer, but are expected to continue their recruitment drive after selling Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United for three quarters of that.

Ronald Koeman’s team have been linked with moves for English-based wingers Demarai Gray and Josh King in recent weeks, and it is plausible they could consider Mor as an alternative to the pair.

Nevertheless, with Barcelona credited with interest in Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele as they prepare for Neymar’s sale to Paris Saint-Germain, the Germans may wish to keep hold of the Turkish international.

Can Everton or Liverpool prise Mor away from Dortmund this summer?
