They need more creativity and goals from the middle of the park and the 26-year-old would be ideal for them. He has scored 14 goals in all competitions, and has the physical and technical ability to be used in English football. He could be a great signing for Everton.
Italian clubs are also paying attention to his development. It will be interesting to see if they make an acceptable offer for the player in the summer. The fact that the player wants to move to the Premier League could be an encouragement to clubs like Everton. They will also face Brighton. It will be interesting to see where the Austrian midfielder ends up.
Where will Baumgartner end up?
Everton have a competitive project and could be tempted to join in the summer. The Toffees will be hoping to agree a reasonable deal to sign the player. He has two years left on his current contract at the end of this season, and the German team will be under pressure to consider a suitable offer. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Baumgartner was targeted by Crystal Palace a few months ago.
