As well as looking to sign a new right-back and winger, the Merseysiders are also looking to further bolster their centre-back options, as per reliable reporter Alan Nixon via Goodison News, Everton have made an approach to sign Juma Bah from Real Valladolid this month.

The 18-year-old joined La Liga on loan during the summer transfer window from AIK Freetong. Bah impressed during his time at Valladolid and has now appeared on Everton’s radar, but a transfer doesn’t look as possible as the Toffees would have hoped.

Nixon states that although Everton have made an approach to sign Bah, they would first have to sell one of their defenders before signing the 18-year-old. Like Everton, Manchester City also wants to get hold of the young defender, but Bah is against loaning him out twice.

Therefore, given the situation at Everton and City, it seems that Inter Milan will complete the signing of Baha for the eye 12 million pounds. If Everton beat Inter in the race to sign Baha, they will be hoping they can replace one of their current centre-backs as soon as possible.

Bah has been quite impressive since joining Valladolid, and after playing for the club’s B team earlier this season, football analyst Chencho Alonso called Bah “commanding“. he said: “He commanded and pushed forward, showing solid defensive concepts in movement and marking adjustments. He is very calm on the ball and plays simply.

“The next day I said that he would be called up to the first team in September, and on Saturday he was the starter.”
