Everton could use Raul Asensio
It has been an impressive season for Everton so far and they will be hoping to finish as high as possible. We are aiming to qualify for Europe next season, so we need to further strengthen our team. Asensio could be a quality addition for them.
The young defender needs regular game time, but Real Madrid will not be able to offer him that opportunity. A move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. Playing regular football in England will help him develop further and fulfill his great potential.
Asensio will help improve the Toffees
Everton sit eighth in the Premier League table and would feel they could have done better if they were more organized at the back. They have conceded 35 goals in 31 league games. If you want to compete at a high level, you need to tighten up your rear. Signing a quality defender in the summer should be an absolute priority for them.
West Ham United are fighting to remain in the Premier League. It may not be the most attractive transfer destination for the Spanish defender. It will be interesting to see if he can ensure safety in the top flight. They are also very poor defensively, so it’s no wonder they are crazy about Real Madrid players.
