Everton and Crystal Palace should consider swapping the two players.
Everton boss Marco Silva will surely be desperate to add more quality and pace to his wide attacking department at Goodison Park this summer, as he looks to guide his side back into contention for the European places.
With this in mind, the Portuguese should consider a move for Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend.
The 27-year-old is wanted by Newcastle, according to the Sun, but the Toon are yet to match Palace’s £18m valuation of the former England international.
Every Love Island contestant if they were an England player – World Cup!
And Everton could steal a march on the Magpies in the race for Townsend’s signature by offering the Eagles the services of Davy Klaassen in return.
The Palace star possesses pace in abundance, and plays with a certain kind of directness that would undoubtedly help the Toffees improve upon the potency of their play in the final third.
Townsend also possess a potent delivery into the box – something that could help bring out the best in Cenk Tosun.
Klaassen, meanwhile, would bring a lot to the Eagles’ attacking play, despite his struggles in the Premier League with Everton last season.
With a year’s experience now under his belt, the Dutchman will be in a far better position from which to attain the levels that he reached for Ajax before moving to Goodison Park.
Everton and Palace should consider swapping the two players this summer. It could turn out to be a really significant piece of business for both clubs.
