OPINION
Everton have certainly got themselves a class midfielder in the shape of Andre Gomes, and it is easy to see why.
He adjusted to the Premier League like a duck to water upon his debut against Crystal Palace earlier on in the season, and since then – bar a hiccup or two – he has continued to blow the supporters away.
However, what could make him even more effective in the middle of the park?
Answer – swooping for Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans.
According to Mail journalist Dominic King via his personal Twitter account, Leicester are ready to launch a £20 million bid for the 21-year-old, but it is the Toffees who must step in and snatch the young ace for themselves.
Leicester, meanwhile, are ready to launch a bid for Youri Tielemans at Monaco. He would cost more than £20m but there is significant interest. ???

He is the perfect partner to Gomes, and what a sight it would be to behold at Goodison Park if this pair were to play alongside each other.
Tielemans has made 28 appearances for the struggling Ligue 1 side this season, displaying the qualities that indicate that he is more than ready for an environment like the English top-flight – an environment which he would thrive in.
He is assured and direct in his passing, and has a threatening presence about him, just like Gomes.
The midfield ace was handed his first Belgium cap in 2016 at just the age of 19, which shows that he has the ability to make it at the highest level.
The Toffees would have one of the most dominant midfields in the league with the addition of Tielemans, and this is surely something that would make the fans drool.
He may not have been able to help guide Monaco out of their struggles this season, but one thing is for sure – he will be able to help Everton fly up the league table.
They must join the chase for the midfielder as soon as possible, as he is just what they need.
