Frank Lampard revealed during his team’s tour of the USA that Everton are searching for a number six type player to provide their midfield with more balance. But could Leander Dendoncker prove the answer?
Fabrizio Romano reports that Everton want to sign an extra quality midfielder and Lampard has Dendoncker, who is appreciated by both board and manager, on his list with the Blues ready to explore the move in the coming weeks.
Originally arriving at Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan back in 2018, the Belgian international has played 154 games in English football so far, scoring 12 goals. But could he be the answer that Everton are looking for? In terms of pure style, the 27-year-old seems to fit the bill given that Comparisonator’s Similarity Comparison algorithm places Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka, and Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic – now reunited with Jose Mourinho once more at Roma – as the Premier League players from last season most like him in style having both been calculated as having matches of 79%.
