According to TuttoJuve, Everton are the latest club to show an interest in signing in-demand striker, Sasa Kalajdzic.

The Austrian striker has been in fine form for Stuttgart this season, scoring 12 goals and impressing with a number of fine performances along the way.

But his performances have alerted a number of clubs. The likes of Juventus are said to be keen, while the report from TuttoJuve names Everton and Newcastle as admirers.

Interestingly, it was only a few days ago that Kalajdzic made comments suggesting he’d be open to a move to England but, specifically, with Everton’s rivals, Liverpoool.

“This club is simply special to me,” Kalajdzic said on Liverpool.

“When I was a kid, I saw the Champions League final in 2005 when Liverpool came back from 3-0 down against Milan to win. That gripped me. The last time I went to a Liverpool game with my brother, I really kitted myself out: I bought myself a scarf, jersey, cap and a mug.”

The striker could well start something of a bidding war, then, if reports are to be believed. For Everton, they could well target a new striker in the summer, given their reliance on Dom Calvert-Lewin in the number nine spot.

This summer should see some sort of rebound following 12 months of the pandemic. Whether that means big spending or simply a lot of players moving on, the window should be a busy one.

Kalajdzic looks like a real prospect, too. Everton should be in the market for a new forward and despite his fondness for Liverpool, the Toffees might be able to offer European football themselves next season.
