Everton and Leicester City have submitted offers for FC Lorient winger Dango Ouattara who could leave the club in January.
As per get football news France, both Everton and Leicester City have submitted bids for FC Lorient attacker Dango Ouattara. The winger has emerged as one of the most exciting forwards in Ligue 1.
Everton have entered the bottom three and Frank Lampard will have a tough task to get them out. The Merseysiders have failed to show much progress throughout the season and if they are to survive in the top flight they will need new players.
A winger is a top priority for the former Chelsea boss and Ouattara could be the missing piece of the puzzle. The Burkina Faso international burst onto the scene last season and has shown unreal promise in his brief career.
Lorient have had a breakout season and they are aiming to push for European football with the help of the exciting younger. The right winger is also comfortable on the other flank while he can also be used as an out-and-out number nine.
Everton have hit a roadblock and the young winger can rescue their season. They have proposed a deal worth almost €20 million and it remains to be seen how things pan out in the next few days.
Leicester have maintained a safe distance from the drop zone as of now but any mishap could make them feel uncomfortable. Ouattara has grabbed his chances with both hands and he has proved to be quite prolific with 5 goals and 5 assists to his name in the French top tier.
He has a contract till 2024 and there have been talks of a potential extension of his current deal. Brendan Rodgers is shuffling his pack quite cautiously keeping in mind a summer overhaul.
Several players will be out of contract next summer and the Foxes might have to chalk out their rebuilding plans from now on. Lorient will be flooded with offers and it might come down to the player’s choice if both clubs agree to pay the required fee.
