Everton are expected to be very active in the summer transfer window.
The Toffees need to sign a defensive central midfielder this summer along with other requirements.
The departure of Morgan Schneiderlin is another indication that a solid defensive midfielder is needed. And it seems, Everton are prepared to pay a handsome fee to add a top-quality player for this role.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Everton are ‘ready to firm up interest’ in Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer.
Carlo Ancelotti has admitted recently that the 24-year-old midfielder is a good player.
