Everton submit offer to sign Panathinaikos defender amid ‘intense’ update
Everton look to be expanding their scouting network this summer amid links to a Greek right-back.
With the end of the Premier League campaign rapidly approaching, Everton will have one eye on their recruitment plans for the upcoming transfer window.
Since David Moyes arrived, progress has been made on and off the pitch, but for that to continue, recruitment needs to be strong this summer.
With that in mind, the Toffees have already identified a potential target, with a report stating that they have submitted an “official” offer.
Giorgos Vagiannidis linked with Merseyside switch
Everton, despite their strong end to the current campaign, have a lot of work to do in the summer if they are to move away from being a side mentioned in relegation battles every season.
Several players have already been linked with Everton, and the latest is Giorgos Vagiannidis of Panathinaikos, who, according to Aris Gatas as relayed by Newspao, has been the subject of an “official” offer from the Toffees.
Brighton and Sporting Lisbon have also been linked with a move, but the idea of a move to England is said to have stood out for the defender, who has impressed in Greece.
The report continues that the expectation is that he will be a Premier League player in the coming months with “intense interest” reported, and may be the first signing of Everton’s new era at Bramley-Moore.
Moyes can achieve great things with Everton
If the Toffees recruit well this summer, there is no reason why they can’t challenge for a top 10 finish in the Premier League, or even challenge for a spot in Europe.
Since the Scotsman was appointed, Everton have been solid defensively, while lacking that little bit of quality going forward, and that will be the priority for the window.
If that can be addressed, Everton could be in for a very good season and be able to put the misery of the last few behind them.
