Everton Must Solve Key Problem in January by Signing £10m EFL ‘Sensation’ – Opinion
Everton Played to a 1-1 Draw with Leicester City on Saturday Afternoon.
The Toffees took the lead through Iliman Ndiaye, but Stephy Mavididi equalized for Leicester in the 73rd minute.
Former Everton defender Ashley Williams was particularly impressed by Ndiaye, who posed a constant threat down the left.
James Garner also shone, despite being played out of position at right-back due to Seamus Coleman’s injury.
However, it’s clear Everton needs to address the right-back position during the January transfer window.
To solve this, Everton should consider signing Sunderland right-back Trai Hume in January.
The Northern Ireland international has been one of the standout defenders in the Championship over recent seasons and is reportedly valued at around £10 million.
At just 22 years old, Hume has room to grow and would be a smart addition for Everton.
Hume, who has been described as a ‘sensation’ by Lincolnshire Live, has previously expressed his ambition to play in the Premier League. His statistics from FBref are impressive, highlighting his defensive qualities.
He ranks in the top three percent for tackles won per 90 minutes, showing his tenacity.
Additionally, Hume is in the top six percent for aerial duels won and the top eight percent for blocks, demonstrating his solid defensive awareness.
With his skill set, the Sunderland full-back would be a great fit for a Sean Dyche-led Everton team.
