Godwin ObajeEverton Chasing £47m “Diamond” Yann Bisseck
Everton is reportedly among the growing list of suitors for Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck, with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also in the mix. Valued at €55m (about £47m), Bisseck has grown into a core part of Inter Milan’s season and could be a key signing for Everton.
Bisseck’s Profile
Bisseck is a commanding aerial presence, winning 71% of his headed duels per Serie A game this season. He has a different approach to the game compared to Everton’s current centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, who is more of a steely threat on the ground.
Everton’s Needs
Everton is looking to strengthen their defence, with Michael Keane set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. James Tarkowski is currently sidelined, making Bisseck’s signing even more appealing.
Comparison to Branthwaite
While Branthwaite is a talented defender, Bisseck brings a different dimension to the table. According to stats, Bisseck has more goal involvements, touches, passes attempted, and progressive passes per 90 minutes compared to Branthwaite.
Conclusion
Bisseck could be a key signing for Everton, bringing a commanding aerial presence and ball-playing ability to the team. With several top clubs vying for his signature, Everton will need to act quickly to secure his services.
