Everton have been linked with Stade de Reims’ El Bilal Toure as a potential replacement for Richarlison but what might the Mali international offer the Blues? According to a report by 90min, Everton are considering a move for the 20-year-old starlet who the outlet claims they have scouted extensively in 2022.
Comparisonator’s Similarity Comparison rates Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez to be the most similar Premier League player last season to him in style with a match of 89%, followed by Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho (86%); Aston Villa’s Danny Ings (77%); Norwich City’s Teemu Pukki (68%) and Leicester City’s Patson Daka (60%).
While Richarlison’s qualities weren’t always recognised by rivals with many questioning why Tottenham Hotspur have snapped him up, his willingness to always work hard for the team endeared him to Evertonians at it seems as though Toure also possesses some similar traits. If compared with other players in his position operating in the Premier League last season, Toure would lead the list for ball recoveries (picking up loose possession) with 1.91 per 90 minutes and ball recoveries in the opponents’ half, 0.81.
