The winger will leave on a season-long loan deal subject to a medical.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, Leicester are interested in signing former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj from La Liga side Real Sociedad this summer.
Everton must beat their PL rivals to the signing of Januzaj as he would be a massive upgrade on Mirallas.
The Belgian made a massive impact when he came onto the scene at Manchester United in the 2013/14 season as a fresh-faced 18-year-old. He came into the first-team for the very first time in his career and went on to four goals and provide six assists in his first 35 appearances for United.
The youngster looked like he had the lot. Rapid speed, Dazzling skills, confidence and a wonderful left-foot, he was a youngster with the world seemingly at his feet. However, things didn’t quite turn out that way.
The winger had extremely disappointing loan spells with Sunderland and later Borussia Dortmund, which hurt his confidence and he didn’t look anything like the player who made his debut for the Red Devils.
However, he’s slowly and quietly rebuilt his reputation in Spain with La Liga side Real Sociedad, scoring four goals and assisting six in 35 appearances last season, and generally performing impressively.
His form culminated in him being included in the senior Belgium squad for the 2018 World Cup and he justified his inclusion with a stunning top-corner finish against England in the group stages.
Januzaj is ready for another chance in the Premier League, which is why Everton must make him the replacement for the outgoing Kevin Mirallas, he could prove to be a successful signing.
