Everton have been linked with a move for Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek since the summer transfer window.
Since then the 24-year-old former Ajax star has continued to struggle for opportunities at Old Trafford.
This has led to ongoing speculation linking the Blues with a January move to sign the midfielder.
Appearing on Fabrizio Romano’s latest Here We Go episode on Twitch, journalist Mark Ogden tipped the Toffees for the potential transfer depending on certain factors.
I think when January comes Everton are quite keen to take Van de Beek. But it depends. If a new manager comes in, he might want to say to Van de Beek: ‘I’m going to give you a chance’. So everything depends on who the manager is.
So far this season Van De Beek has made just three appearances across all competitions – amassing 141 minutes of action in total.

Persistent injuries to both Fabian Delph and Jean-Philippe Gbamin mean signing a central midfielder will certainly be on Rafa Benitez’ mid-season agenda.
Add to that the long-term layoff of Abdoulaye Doucoure, the Toffees are lightweight in the department.
Valued at £22.5million (Transfermarkt) and highly regarded prior to his torrid time in Manchester, signing Van De Beek on loan would be a no-brainer for Benitez.
