Everton line up French club's 'best player' as 'offers' submitted - report

Everton have set their sights on signing Zuriko Davitashvili this January.

With Everton’s recent form and the concerns that have lingered over the campaign, the Toffees are expected to do some business in January.

Many expected a new striker to be the priority, and with Everton having been linked with Jorgen Strand Larsen, that expectation remains the same.

However, the Merseysiders will also look to bolster their squad elsewhere, and Davitashvili has emerged as an option to boost their attacking options.

Saint-Etienne fears grow amid Zuriko Davitashvili update

Davitashvili is a name that will mean very little to Everton supporters, though to those in France, it holds significant value.

That is because the Georgian has consistently been one of the best players for Saint Etienne since arriving in 2024.

Last season, the 24-year-old registered 17 goal contributions from the wide areas, and with 10 already this season, he is on course to beat that.

Now, Sebastien Denis has reported that Everton are “very interested” in signing him this January, with a report in Foot Mercato stating that “panic has gripped” the Ligue 1 outfit as a result.

It’s claimed that the French outfit are unlikely to entertain offers for the Georgian international, though their resolve on that stance is almost certain to be tested.
