Everton have asked for information from Napoli regarding midfielder Jens Cajuste, despite Ipswich Town closing in on a deal for him.
That’s according to journalist Gianluca di Marzio, relayed by Calcio Napoli 24, who says Everton have made a late request for information.
Cajuste is ready to leave Napoli this summer and Ipswich have been closing in on a deal for him after a previous move to Brentford seemed to collapse.
However, Di Marzio reports that Everton have ‘asked for information’ about the player as they continue to rebuild their own squad.
Cajuste could fit the bill and Everton do have a good working relationship with Napoli in place after deals in the past and the loan agreement for Jesper Lindstrom this summer.
The Toffees would likely be looking at a loan deal again and have one space left for an international loan in their squad, although there is presumably some money left in the budget after selling Onana.
It’s a situation to keep an eye on but Everton’s need is there, and they’ve asked for information on Cajuste, which could be the start of a push to intercept Ipswich’s move for him.
