Everton manager Rafael Benítez ‘wants’ RCD Mallorca’s Iddrisu Baba at Goodison Park, report Fichajes.net.
Operating in the middle of the pitch, the 25-year-old has enjoyed a great start to this season, becoming, ‘one of the revelations’ of La Liga.
The midfielder not only excels in his defensive work, but also contributes with ease in the attacking phase. He found the back of the net in his side’s 1-1 draw against Cádiz CF on Sunday.
The website states the Ghana international has qualities to succeed in the Premier League and the Toffees are aware of this. For this reason, the Merseyside club ‘want to close’ his signing in the winter market.
Baba considers the idea of playing in England ‘attractive’ and he wouldn’t ‘look down’ on the possibility of joining Everton.
His current deal with the Spanish club runs down in 2024.
Fichajes.net state that Everton will have to ‘release a significant amount’ to convince Mallorca to cut ties with their star in January.
What is deemed as a ‘significant amount’ isn’t mentioned in the report.
