Everton keen on Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina from Barcelona
Written by News on 25/07/2018
Everton have stepped up their efforts to secure the double signing of Barcelona defenders Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina, according to Sky sources in Spain.
Digne has travelled to the USA with Barcelona while Mina is still on a break after World Cup duty with Colombia.
Everton are in the market for a left-back and centre-back and the two Barcelona players have been targeted by the Toffees, following the capture of Richarlison from Watford.
Richarlison was new Everton manager Marco Silva’s first signing since taking charge at Goodison Park – a year after bringing the striker to Watford from Fluminense.
Silva says he is keen to expand his squad to increase competition for first-team places at the club.
He said: “The competition between our players is really important to me. This is what will make us better as a club, always that competition within the squad.”
