Cincinnati striker Brandon Vazquez is set to become one of the hottest properties in MLS this summer but his current employers may be willing to play hardball in a bid to keep him.
The three-time US international experienced something of a breakout season last term, notching an impressive 18 goals and eight assists in 33 league outings and is thought to be attracting interest from clubs in Europe. A solid start to this season — four goals in 17 matches so far — has meant that teams including Premier League outfit Everton are keeping tabs on his availability, as per The Athletic.
The Toffees struggled to score goals in the league during their last campaign, with only Wolves finding the net on fewer occasions as they finished in a lowly 17th place. Manager Sean Dyche will be keen to arrest the slide ahead of his first full season at Goodison Park by improving his striking options, with first-choice forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury record likely to be a concern.
