Manchester United outcast Adnan Januzaj has been linked with a number of clubs this summer but Everton could be the best place for him.
Everton’s £30 million man Jordan Pickford
Ronald Koeman has set his stall out with the club record £30 million signing of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford from Sunderland and is close to complete another big money move for compatriot and Ajax skipper Davy Klassen.
The Toffees have been tipped to really push the boat out this summer with as many as eight big signings, although they look set to lose Romelu Lukaku and potentially Ross Barkley.
But they could take a chance on Manchester United outcast Adnan Januzaj whose career has stalled of late after the Belgian was linked with moves to Celtic and Roma.
Januzaj spent last season on loan at Sunderland but only played 25 games, mostly as sub, as he failed to live up to the hype after bursting on the scene at old Trafford as an 18-year-old.

Still only 22, Januzaj could prove to be quite a coup for any manager who can coax his prodigious talent to the fore again.
And Koeman could be just the man with a proven track record of getting the best out of young talent.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho knows the talent is in there as he is insisting on a buy back clause should Januzaj be sold this summer.
If Barkley leaves, a fit and firing Januzaj could be the perfect replacement at a fraction of the cost and will be another attacking talent to add to the Goodison Park ranks.
