TBR’s View:

Mitrovic would be a top signing for pretty much any team in the Premier League and he’s got the quality to become the number one striker option at Goodison Park.

Everton need to try find a 20-goal centre-forward to lead the line and with the right service the Fulham ace could be the solution.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is currently doing a decent job as the first-choice striker right now for the Toffees, but they need an upgrade if they want to properly challenge the top four.

Mitrovic is already an experienced player at his age and has the potential to be a serious goal threat when he hits his peak.
