Everton might look to sign 23-year-old French midfielder Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in the final days of the summer transfer window.
According to a report by German outlet Frankfurter Rundschau, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are keen on reinforcing their midfield department before the summer transfer window shuts down. The 23-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder has thus emerged as a target, although their interest is not concrete yet.
Who is Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe?
Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe has blown hot and cold since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain. The Frenchman was a bright prospect during his time with PSG and made 14 appearances for the Ligue 1 heavyweights, although he could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad.
Eintracht Frankfurt snapped him on a season-long loan deal in August 2022 before completing a permanent move last summer. However, Dina Ebimbe has become a peripheral figure for the Bundesliga outfit after not making the cut in the matchday squad in Eintracht Frankfurt’s season-opening Bundesliga fixture.
With Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe’s long-term future at the Bundesliga club uncertain, they are ready to cash in on him before the summer transfer window shuts down. The situation has not gone unnoticed, and the Premier League might be his destination, with Everton contemplating a late move.
Premier League move on the cards?
Everton’s interest in Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe is understandable. The Toffees want to bolster their midfield department before the summer transfer window shuts down. While they have secured the services of Tim Iroegbunam, Everton can do with another central midfield arrival in the coming days.
So, several candidates, including Carlos Soler, have emerged on Everton’s radar. However, Junior Dina Ebimbe is also an option worth considering for the Merseyside outfit. But the report adds that the Toffees do not have a concrete interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder.
With the Bundesliga club ready to cash in on the versatile French midfielder before the summer transfer window shuts down, Everton should be in the position to land him. However, Orel Mangala has recently emerged as the top target for the Merseyside club, and they might not secure Junior Dina Ebimbe’s signature.
