Everton might finally secure Edon Zhegrova this summer as Juventus look to move the winger on by any means necessary. Reports from Tuttosport, later picked up by Tuttomercatoweb, suggest the Italian giants are ready to let the 27-year-old go regardless of where they finish in the league.
Everton Set to Pursue Edon Zhegrova
Manager Luciano Spalletti is planning a major squad overhaul, and the Kosovan international is reportedly at the top of the surplus to requirements list after a disappointing stint in Turin. Despite paying €14.3m for him, Juve now seem happy to sanction a loan just to get him out, which is a massive boost for Everton’s transfer plans.
The Toffees looked into a deal back in January but decided to keep their powder dry for a bigger summer budget under David Moyes. This new chance to snag him temporarily lets the club bolster their wings without breaking the bank immediately. With the club also keeping tabs on Jack Grealish, whose own loan has been hit by recent disciplinary questions, picking up Zhegrova on the cheap looks like a smart backup plan. For his part, the player is said to be desperate for a Premier League move to kickstart his career after a rough time in Italy.
