Mubarak Wakaso flattered by Everton, Juventus links

Espanyol midfielder Mubarak Wakaso has said that he is flattered by the recent speculation linking him with Everton and Juventus.

The Italian media claim that Serie A champions Juventus are lining up a £6m move for the 22-year-old Ghana international.

Meanwhile, Roberto Martinez, who is the odds-on favourite to become the new manger at Goodison Park, is understood to be a keen admirer of Wakaso.

"Espanyol will decide about my future," Wakaso told reporters. "To play in the Premier League would be a dream for me.

"But Juventus are a big team and if they are interested in you, it means you are doing something right on the field.

"Everton are a big team as well."

Wakaso scored four goals in five appearances at this year's Africa Cup of Nations.
