Everton enter race for highly-fancied Leverkusen defender

Everton have entered the stakes to sign Aleksandar Dragovic from Bayer Leverkusen, according to the Mirror. 

The centre-half spent the 2017/18 season on loan at Leicester City, where he impressed in a total of 16 appearances for the Foxes.

With a string of Premier League starts to his name, the 27-year-old is now attracting interest from English clubs keen on signing the defender on a permanent basis.

Amongst those, Everton have been linked to the Austrian. Other teams include Leicester, West Ham, and Brighton.

Dragovic is a mobile centre-back, able to cover ground easily and deliver a forceful tackle.

Having received 65 Austrian caps to this point of his career, Dragovic would bring a certain amount of international pedigree to a team interested in acquiring his services.

As new manager Marco Silva tries to find a long-term partner for Michael Keane in the heart of Everton’s defences, Dragovic may prove to be very attractive to the Portuguese gaffer.
