Everton have been reportedly linked with a move for Emre Mor. Should Newcastle United join the race?
Everton have been reportedly linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund winger Emre Mor, whose future seemingly lies away from Signal Iduna Park after Dortmund excused him from the team photo ahead of the 2017-18 season.
The 20-year-old highly rated winger joined BVB Dortmund from Norwegian club Nordsjælland last summer, but largely struggled in Germany.
Everton are reportedly close to signing Swansea City playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson this summer, and already have the likes of Bolasie and Lennon in their ranks.
Mor is an exciting young talent, no doubt, but he gives the impression of a player similar to Gerard Deulofeu, who Ronald Koeman was only too eager to get rid of.
Should Newcastle United make a move for Mor?
Rafael Benitez has stressed the need to bolster the squad this summer, and a player of Mor’s ability will add depth and quality to the side.
The price quoted for him is quite within the range of the Magpies, and signing him would also represent a statement of intent from the club.
Mor will get regular opportunity at Newcastle, plus he could be tempted by the prospect of playing under a top-class manager, Rafael Benitez. The move makes sense.
