Ismaila Sarr is a name that you can’t avoid in most transfer windows, and the Watford man is again in the news this weekend.
Sarr is regarded as a star performer in the Championship and had a good season with Watford, despite their problems in the second division.
West Ham made their interest in the Senegal international known around a month ago. Everton, on the other hand, are suddenly interested, according to Foot Mercato and its journalist Santi Aouna.
According to Foot Mercato, Sarr is coveted by Marseille. Despite having just signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the French club is reportedly putting together a bid for Sarr.
Following his own report up on Twitter, Aouna confirms that Everton are interested in Sarr as well.
The Toffees are looking to strengthen this summer as Sean Dyche looks to avoid a repeat of another relegation dogfight.
Lauded as being a ‘frightening‘ winger, Sarr has electric pace and shone for Watford in the season they went down.
Sarr was previousl the subject of a £25m bid from Aston Villa as well. Certainly, he is a wanted man when it comes to players in the Championship.
With speculation of Demarai Gray possibly leaving, Ismaila Sarr would be a great replacement for Everton right now.
They could utilize his speed and quickness in wide areas, and the fact that he is already familiar with the league is a plus.
Sarr has done well for Watford and did well not to make a scene and quit last season. He probably wants to leave now, and Everton and Dyche may be excellent for him.
Of course, Marseille will be optimistic about closing another transaction. But, if not, Everton must be ready to strike.
