Everton leading race for Roma playmaker Cengiz Under?

Everton are reportedly preparing to make an official approach for Roma playmaker Cengiz Under.

Having made just 10 starts and eight substitute appearances in Serie A and the Europa League this season, the 22-year-old is expected to be made available by Roma during the next transfer window.

According to Calciomercato, Everton have identified the Turkey international as a potential addition to their first-team squad.

While Roma had been hoping to recoup in the region of €40m (£35.13m), the Italian side accept that they will have to lower their valuation in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Roma are allegedly hopeful of agreeing a proposal which also includes Moise Kean, who has struggled since joining Everton from Juventus.

Given their respective age and potential, there may be scope for a straight exchange deal to be agreed between the two clubs.
