Everton consider loan of former triallist Zirkzee
Everton are reportedly considering a loan move for Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee after the striker's switch to Eintracht Frankfurt fell through this month.
Director of Football, Marcel Brands. indicated at last night's AGM that the Blues were more focused on out-going transfers this month and that he didn't expect activity in the opposite direction but with recent injuries for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, the club could be on the look-out for temporary attacking reinforcements.
talkSPORT were the first outlet to suggest that Everton were after Zirkzee who hasn't yet been able to break into the Bundesliga club's first team and has recently had injury problems of his own.
Bayern had lined up a loan move to Frankfurt but the latter club elected to sign Luka Jovic instead but MailSport suggest that Brands is weighing up a loan approach, with a view to making it a permanent transfer, for a player who had a trial at Everton a few years ago before be settled in Germany.
