Everton have intensified contact in the last few hours to secure the services of Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian publication reported on 17 August, Page 13, that Roma value the 22-year-old at £12.7million.
The Serie A side are willing to negotiate a permanent sale of the Italian central midfielder with Fulham and Fiorentina also keen on securing his services.
Everton must sign Edoardo Bove before the transfer deadline
Bove’s profile as a dynamic, box-to-box midfielder fits perfectly into Sean Dyche’s tactical setup, where energy, work rate and versatility are prised.
His ability to contribute both defensively and offensively could provide the Toffees with a much-needed balance in midfield.
Moreover, at 22, Bove represents not just immediate quality but also significant potential for growth, aligning with Everton’s strategy to invest in young talents who can develop under Dyche’s guidance.
His familiarity with high-pressure environments in Serie A could translate well into the Premier League’s intensity, offering Everton a player who’s not only technically adept but also mentally resilient.
Additionally, with Roma looking to offload him, the Toffees might secure him at a relatively lower fee, making it a financially prudent move
Bove’s potential to become a fan favourite due to his tenacity and commitment could also galvanise the Goodison Park faithful, providing a boost both on and off the pitch.
