# Fenerbahce step up efforts to sign Klaassen

Turkish side Fenerbahce have reportedly stepped up their efforts to get Everton’s Dutch midfielder Davy Klaassen, according to [Turkish Football](https://turkish-football.com/everton-midfielder-edges-closer-goodison-park-exit-fenerbahce-step-transfer-efforts/).

The Dutch midfielder has struggled to nail down a starting role since signing for Everton in the Summer. He has rarely featured in the squad, especially since Sam Allardyce’s appointment.

Klaassen was signed from Ajax for a fee of over £23 million. He has struggled to make an impact since switching from the Eredivisie and has failed to adapt to the English game.

Therefore, Everton could be looking to offload the midfielder, and Fenerbahce are supposedly very keen on taking the midfielder on loan.

The Turkish side want Klaassen on loan, with a buy-out clause added to the deal. They want to add more creativity to their midfield and have reportedly made Klaassen a priority.

Klaassen would become the second Dutch international on loan in the country from the Premier League, joining Spurs flop Vincent Janssen who is also on loan at Fenerbahce.
