Everton Are Interested in OGC Nice Midfielder Adrien Tameze

Everton have shown interest in Nice midfielder Adrien Tameze

According to reports in France, Everton have shown interest in OGC Nice midfielder Adrien Tameze. The 25-year-old midfielder is under contract with Nice until 2021.

Serie A side Atalanta and Premier League club Watford are also interested. In the January transfer window, Tameze saw a £10 million move to Cardiff City break down.

Tameze made 35 appearances with Les Aiglons during the 18/19 campaign while registering 3 assists. The defensive midfielder is viewed as an Idrissa Gana Gueye replacement if he leaves Goodison this summer.

Player Profile

He’s predominantly right-footed and sits in front of the back 4. At 5ft 11in, Tameze is not the tallest, but wins more aerial duels in midfield. Tameze can also pivote from defense to attack.

According to WhoScored, Tameze completed just 0.7 key passes and 0.9 dribbles per match. Gane completed 0.5 key passes and 0.9 per match. This is a slight upgrade, but Tameze is also 4 years younger and can improve.

Temaze possesses the stamina, strength and fitness to adapt to the Premier League very easily. If Everton can sign him for under £15 million, this could be a great addition to the squad.
