Everton line up summer move for ex-Man United star

Everton are one of two Premier League clubs looking at former Manchester United player Shinji Kagawa, according to reports in Italy.

It is reported that Kagawa is one of Everton’s summer targets and that West Ham are also keen to sign him.

Kagawa played at Manchester United under current Hammers boss David Moyes, where the Scot had a difficult spell after replacing United legend Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

The midfielder’s contract with Borussia Dortmund runs out in 2020, and West Ham and Everton are both taking a look at Kagawa. The Japanese player is expected to cost around €13 million for any potential suitors.

Since the arrival of Peter Stoger at Dortmund, Kagawa has been ever present in the side. He has been suffering from an ankle injury since February however, and has missed some time, but the German side will be reluctant to let him leave.
