Everton are reported to have been monitoring RB Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai this month.

90min have claimed the Toffees are one of a host of teams from across Europe to have been looking at the talented Hungarian youngster.

Szoboszlai has been making waves over in the Austrian top-flight, and is off to a flier this season with five goals and nine assists in all competitions so far.

The creative 20-year-old hasn’t been on the scene very long, but has already chalked up 33 assists in 74 games for Salzburg, as well as 22 goals.

He seems destined for stardom, and he will undoubtedly be watched very carefully from this point on.

From an English football perspective, it’s Arsenal who have probably been linked the most with Szoboszlai, but it seems Everton are also keen.

Other than Richarlison and James Rodriguez, Carlo Ancelotti is not really blessed with amazing wide options.

Alex Iwobi and Bernard have both left lots to be desired in recent times, and a move for Szoboszlai would certainly be a statement.

TBR’s View – Everton may have outside chance

With Ancelotti at the helm, the Toffees may have an outside chance of landing Szoboszlai, who is said to have a measly £20 million release clause.

He would be an amazing coup for the Merseyside club, who could potentially boost their top four hopes with any signing of the star.
