Bit of a Gana replacement

Be a good move for Everton, alot more mobile than Schneiderlin or Delph. Very good at sitting and seeing the danger infornt of back 4 but I think he could comfortably play in a 4-4-2. Certainly capable being a threat further up the pitch. Surprised move happens this month though

Good deal at that price if true. Certainly better value than Vecino.

?? I’m a fan. Young, good resale value. In this market, $14 million’s good value in what is a problem position for the Blues

Would you be pleased to see Ronaldo Vieira sign for Everton this window?Yes, better than our current midfieldersNo, doesn't seem good enough for us |
The interest from the Merseyside club comes after West Ham United reportedly had interest but decided not to make a move for the Englishman, according to Football Insider.
This season, the young middleman has featured in 21 games in all competitions for his Serie A club, during which he has bagged himself three assists (per Transfermarkt), leaving many keen for his arrival.
Always signed this lad in FIFA career mode, rises to 90+. Bring him in!

What do we think?
While the youngster only has a 6.55/10 average rating for the season so far (per WhoScored), he must be a decent talent in the making due to his consistent starts in the Serie A.
With the 21-year-old’s value sitting at £6.3 million (per Transfermarkt), £14 million would probably represent good value for money if the youngster does have talent.
