Everton have joined Crystal Palace in the chase for RC Lens’s Andy Diouf, according to Jeunes Footeux.
The midfielder wasn’t a regular for the Ligue 1 side last season, but his situation improved after Will Still arrived at the club last summer.
Diouf has featured in every fixture this season and his rise has seen Everton, Crystal Palace and others take notice.
On Wednesday, we covered claims from France which stated Crystal Palace are ‘very hot’ for the 21-year-old. They also stated his immense potential continue to attract interest.
Jeunes Footeux points out claims made elsewhere about the Eagles and then mention the Toffees. They make it clear it’s their own information about the Merseyside club.
The France U21 international is attracting interest from Everton. The report states David Moyes’ side have included the player in their list to ‘compensate’ the possible departure of Abdoulaye Doucouré.
The 32-year-old Mali international could leave Goodison Park when his contract expires in June. This is why Everton are looking at the Lens player as an option to replace Doucouré.
Jeunes Footeux state Lens value Diouf at €15m while they would like to collect €20m from his sale.
