Everton goalkeeper Jonas Lossl has been touted with a January exit from Goodison Park, having fallen down the pecking order in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.
The former Mainz man joined from then-relegated Huddersfield on a free transfer for the 2019/20 season in order to meaningfully compete with Jordan Pickford for the no. 1 goalkeeping spot.
The Danish international joined the Toffees on a three-year deal but returned to his former side in the Terriers on a half-season loan deal last season in search of regular football, having failed to make an impression on Ancelotti’s plans.
Having failed to get a look-in last season, Ancelotti’s side opted to bring in fellow Scandinavian Robin Olsen on loan from AS Roma for the season in order to better-fulfil a more challenging backup ‘keeper role to Pickford.
