Thierry Henry gives glowing assessment of 12-goal Everton transfer 'target'

Thierry Henry has heaped praise on reported Everton target Daichi Kamada following another assured performance in the Champions League.

Kamada scored his third goal in the competition on Wednesday evening, slotting home a penalty as Eintracht Frankfurt beat Sporting Lisbon to qualify for the knockout stage draw. The Japanese international has now bagged 12 goals in 19 games across all competitions.

But with his current deal in Germany ending next summer, and reports that he is looking to move on after five seasons in Frankfurt, Everton are said to be one of several Premier League sides 'interested' in signing the attacking midfielder. The Toffees have the option of discussing a pre-contract agreement for a summer arrival, but could also jump the gun for a January move with a cut-price fee.
