Everton & Leicester Join Napoli in Race for 'Next David Alaba' as Hertha BSC Demand €30m

Everton and Leicester could go head to head over the signing of Hertha BSC right-back Valentino Lazaro in the summer, with the 23-year-old earning himself favourable comparisons to Bayern Munich's David Alaba.

The Austrian is enjoying a fine season in Berlin, scoring twice and assisting five in 24 Bundesliga appearances, and featured in both of his country's Nations League defeats to Poland and Israel over the international break.

The alleged Premier League interest in his signature stems from Italian journalist Raffaele Auriemma, who is quoted by CalcioNapoli24 (via Sport Witness), as saying that Napoli join Everton and Leicester in their interest, while comparing Lazaro to Alaba.
