Everton set to battle Ajax and PSV for Man City full-back Angelino as possible Leighton Baines replacement
The 21-year-old Spaniard has had a sparkling season while on loan at Eredivisie side NAC Breda
EVERTON are set to battle Ajax and PSV Eindhoven for Manchester City full-back Angelino.
The 21-year-old Spaniard has had a sparkling season while on loan at Eredivisie side NAC Breda.
The Toffees’ new sporting director Marcel Brands is a huge fan of his, and wants to bring the youngster to the club.
He was quoted £10m by City back when he was in charge of transfers at PSV, but did not have the funds to seal the move.
Angelino has just 12-months left on his deal at the Etihad, and Pep Guardiola’s side look set to cash in now.
He is seen as the ideal replacement for ex-England defender Baines, who is ready to leave Goodison Park.
The 33-year-old has been at the Toffees for eleven-years, but is set for talks with MLS sides this summer.
Both the Los Angeles-based teams are looking to make a swoop for him, and he could even leave on a free.
