Everton move for Ajax wonderkid

Everton will make a £20million move for Ajax starlet Kasper Dolberg to boost their offensive options, according to the Mirror.

The 19-year-old has been making waves in the footballing world having scored 8 goals in 12 starts for the Dutch giants and this has put Europe’s top clubs on red alert.

The Toffees are looking to poach the young striker from under the nose of those clubs by hoping to agree a deal that would be in the region of £20million in the January window.

The clubs strikers other than Romelu Lukaku have struggled to impress boss Ronald Koeman, with Oumar Niasse frozen out and Enner Valencia struggling to make any impact when given the chance. Arouna Kone has been injured of late but it is thought the Ivorian would still not be of good enough quality to backup the Belgian.

Dolberg, on the other hand, has been compared to Manchester United forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and is said to have brilliant heading ability as well as being comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Money is no issue for the Blues, with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri determined to make a splash in the January transfer window after failing to land their summer targets and leaving the manager red-faced on deadline day.
