According to The Telegraph, Everton are interested in finalizing Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana.
Lallana runs out contract at Liverpool at the end of the season, and Merseyside competitors Everton want to secure the services of the former Southampton star on a totally free transfer, according to the report.
Brighton, Leicester City and Burnley are also claimed to want the 32- year-old England international this summer, according to the report.
Statistics
According to WhoScored, Lallana has made 3 starts and 12 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.
The Englishman also made 5 starts and 8 substitute appearances in the Champions League for the Reds this campaign, according to WhoScored.
Unlikely Everton transfer?
Liverpool and Everton are intense Merseyside competitors, and it does appear not likely that Lallana will cross the divide.
True, the Englishman– who won the Champions League last season and the Premier League this campaign– has had injury issues in recent years and has failed to develop himself in the Reds’ starting lineup when he has been fit, however it is hard to see him make the questionable decision to move to the Toffees on a totally free transfer.
