Hazard is being linked with a move to Goodison Park, as well as Leicester City.
Everton are reportedly interested in Borussia Monchengladbach winger Thordan Hazard, but signing Eden Hazard’s younger brother would surely increase the chance of a Toffees star moving the other way?
Foot Mercato claim Hazard, 25, is interesting Everton as well as Leicester City, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Sevilla, as his excellent form continues at Gladbach.
The fleet-footed winger has scored seven goals in nine league and cup outings, as well as laying on four assists for the German side who currently sit second in Germany’s top tier after eight league matches.
Everton already boast a number of wingers, after bringing in Richarlison from Watford and Bernard on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk. Signing Hazard, The Toffees would have more than the required number of wingers.
So, if Everton do win the race for the 17-time Belgium international, a player is likely to leave Goodison Park and that could give RB Leipzig the chance to sign Ademola Lookman on a permanent basis.
The England youth international was a target for Leipzig in the summer, who admitted on a regular basis that they were keen to sign the former Charlton man after he spent the second half of the 2017-18 campaign in Germany.
Lookman scored five goals, as well as providing four assists during his time in Germany, but has managed just three league substitute appearances this season for Everton – clocking up just 54 minutes.
If Everton sign Hazard from Germany, Leipzig surely have a much better chance of bringing Lookman back to Germany.
