Overview

• Everton are preparing a January approach and aim to move ahead of rival suitors for the Manchester United striker, according to multiple reports.
• Zirkzee has yet to start this season, making only three Premier League appearances and logging well under 90 minutes in total.
• Benjamin Sesko is preferred as United’s No. 9, with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo also ahead of Zirkzee in the pecking order.
• Reports indicate the 24-year-old is frustrated with his minutes and could push to leave in January, subject to Manchester United granting a departure.
• West Ham and Italian clubs such as Juventus and Como are also monitoring the situation, with Everton’s interest shaped by struggles from Beto and Thierno Barry.
