According to claims in the Italian media Everton are interested in signing Lazio forward Keita Balde. The youngster could exit the Serie A club this summer due to his ongoing contract issues, and in recent months he’s been linked with a move to the Premier League.
It’s been claimed following talks between Everton and Lazio an offer is expected soon from the Premier League side.
Everton are likely to face competition to sign the Senegal international with reports AC Milan are also showing an interest in the 22-year-old. Keita impressed for Lazio last season, but with just 12 months left on his contact the Italian side may be pressured into selling him this summer.
Links to Everton are no surprise, if only because the player has been linked to half the Premier League.
