Everton join race for Swedish international

Everton have joined the race to sign Swedish international winger Emil Forsberg this summer.

According to The Daily Star, Everton are eyeing a move for Forsberg as they look to improve their attacking options.

The report claims that Liverpool and Arsenal are also interested in Forsberg and could provide tough competition for Everton.

Forsberg is currently plying his trade for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, where he has impressed over the past few seasons.

Leipzig made an offer for Everton forward Ademola Lookman earlier this week, which was rejected.

Everton could now look to use Lookman in a potential deal for Forsberg, who is valued at £25m by Leipzig.

The 26-year-old scored five goals in all competitions for Leipzig last season, after scoring eight in his debut Bundesliga campaign.

He has been capped 41 times by Sweden, scoring seven goals – with his latest coming against Switzerland in the World Cup.
