Everton Join West Ham in Pursuit of Man United’s Joshua Zirkzee Ahead of January Window

He is expected to request a January move to secure the playing time he lacks at Old Trafford.

Overview

  • Everton are evaluating a January move for the 24-year-old, with West Ham previously reported to be preparing a loan offer.
  • Manchester United’s position is described as mixed, with reports variously suggesting openness to concrete bids and reluctance to sanction a midseason exit.
  • Zirkzee has logged about 90 minutes across five substitute appearances this season after summer additions Benjamin Šeško, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo pushed him down the pecking order.
  • Sources indicate he would prefer to stay in the Premier League, while Roma, AC Milan, Sevilla, Napoli and Juventus have also been linked.
  • He has four years left on his deal plus an option, and any departure is expected to depend on acceptable loan terms or a sizeable fee.
