Everton involved in transfer 'chase' for £35million Serie A attacker

Everton are said to be weighing up a move for in-form Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund.

The 20-year-old forward has caught the eye with performances for both club and county this season, impressing in Serie A and on the international stage.

Hojlund scored five goals in Denmark's two recent Euro 2024 qualifiers versus Finland and Kazakhstan respectively and has found the back of the net seven times during his debut Serie A campaign.

Signed in the summer from Austrian side Sturm Graz for a reported €17million (£15m) and his current employers are now seeking offers in excess of €40m (£35.2m) for their star player.

A latest report by Tutto Atalanta has suggested the player has 'attracted the attention of top clubs', with Napoli, Newcastle, Arsenal and Everton all listed as possible destinations.

The article adds there has not yet been any formal offers received for Hojlund, though this well could change in the coming months. Under contract until 2027, Atalanta find themselves in a great position as regards negotiating a sizeable fee for their asset.
