Everton want to sign Croatian star this summer
Everton are interested in signing Croatian defender Luka Bogdan when the transfer window opens, according to reports in Italy.
Bogdan is currently on the books of Catania, a side in the third tier of Italian football, but Steve Walsh has reportedly been keeping a close eye on the 21-year-old defender’s development having spotted him playing for Croatia’s Under-19s, alongside Everton winger Nikola Vlasic.
Everton have major question marks in defence as Ashley Williams and Phil Jagielka move towards the end of their respective careers and having a younger player waiting in the wings would made sense.
Bogan is a big, physical presence, standing at 6ft 5in, and he would likely jump at the chance of a move to Goodison Park if the Blues made their interest known.
The matter of a transfer fee shouldn’t be a huge issue as Catania wouldn’t be asking for too much for Bogdan, so time will tell if the Blues make an offer.
