Everton reportedly scouted Bordeaux and Rennes in action again on Sunday.
According to Mercato365, Everton sent a scout to watch Bordeaux’s game against Rennes on Sunday afternoon – and that will again hint at interest in Ismaila Sarr.
The Toffees were in action themselves on Sunday afternoon, beating Chelsea 2-0, but they seemingly had eyes elsewhere too.
Director of Football Marcel Brands seemingly instructed scouting of Bordeaux’s home game with Rennes, a game in which Francois Kamano gave the hosts a second half lead.
However, M’Baye Niang popped up in added time to give Rennes a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw, and the scouts went flocking to this Ligue 1 clash.
Mercato365 claim that Manchester United, Sevilla and Torino all sent scouts to watch the game along with Everton – and the Toffees’ target appears clear.
WIW Sport in Senegal recently claimed Everton had been scouting Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr, and another visit from Everton to see the French side again hints that it’s Sarr on the radar.
The 21-year-old speedster, once compared to Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, played on the right flank for Rennes, which has been a major problem position for Everton this season.
Sarr, who has hit 10 goals and eight assists this season, would fix that problem whilst giving Everton a truly exciting talent out wide, and whilst other talented players were on show, Sarr is the clear name in the frame for the Toffees.
