According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Everton are poised to land Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico.
The 27-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.
Ajax spent 4 million euros to sign the Argentina international from Independiente in the winter of 2018. The 27-year-old has two years left on his current contract which expires in 2022.
This season, Tagliafico has scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 38 appearances for Ajax.
The 27-year-old is considered to be one of the best left-backs in Argentina.
Nicolas Tagliafico has earned 25 senior caps for the Argentina national team but is yet to open his goal-scoring account for his nation.
His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Everton.
The Toffees are looking to sign a left-back and have identified the 27-year-old as potential transfer target.
Everton will have funds to spend in the market and it will be interesting to see how they approach the summer transfer window.
The Argentina international will offer the Everton boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections.
According to the report, “The Premier League race for Ajax fullback Nicolas Tagliafico is intensifying. Chelsea and Leicester City have been linked with the Argentina international, who has been told he can leave Ajax this summer. Everton chief Marcel Brands is also making a move for Tagliafico following the retirement of Leighton Baines – and Barcelona are now weighing up an approach. Tagliafico has two years to run on his Ajax deal and rated in the €25m class.”
