Everton are reportedly interested in signing 30-year-old Croatian attacker Mislav Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb.
According to a report from Germanijak, Everton have joined the race to sign 30-year-old winger Mislav Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb. And they will provide competition to Premier League rivals Southampton.
Orsic has been in impressive form this season, and he has 13 goals and nine assists across all competitions. The 30-year-old could prove to be a quality addition to Frank Lampard’s side. And it remains to be seen whether Everton can agree on a fee with his club before the January transfer window closes.
It is hardly a surprise that Everton are looking to improve their attacking options, given their own deficiencies in front of goal this season. The Toffees need to improve in the final third if they want to finish the season strongly. And the Merseyside outfit have shown interest in several attackers, including Chuba Akpom.
It has been a dismal campaign for Everton so far this season, and they are currently flirting with relegation. The Toffees were in a similar position last season. But they were bailed out by Richarlison and Anthony Gordon. The Brazilian has left the club since then, and Gordon has not been able to hit top form this season.
Frank Lampard thus needs to dip into the January transfer market to bring in the necessary reinforcements, and Orsic seems like a smart option. It remains to be seen whether Everton can fend off competition from Southampton and sign the 30-year-old.
The Croatian attacker is at the peak of his career right now and could make an immediate impact at Goodison Park. Orsic will add pace, flair and goals in the final third. And his direct style of play is likely to suit the Premier League as well.
The Croatian international is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining Everton and moving to the Premier League this month. It would be a major step up in his career, and he will be desperate to showcase his qualities at a higher level.
The player has a contract with Dinamo Zagreb until the summer of 2026 and it remains to be seen whether the Croatian outfit are prepared to sell him for a reasonable price. But the latest update suggests he is Southampton-bound.
