'I've heard...' - Ex-Everton scout reveals interest in 'exceptional' Millwall star

Tristan Crama is emerging as a summer transfer target for Everton.

The 24-year-old has spent the past year at Millwall and has played a key role in their hunt for promotion out of the Championship

Alex Neil has certainly gotten the best out of the Frenchman as he featured across every league game this season for a side that finished third in the second tier.

Attention at The Den is now on a playoff double header against Hull City, with a spot in the Premier League on the line.

His future all depends on how that goes for the Lions, but Everton are seemingly ready to sign Crama if the opportunity arises.

The former Brentford man has certainly had an interesting rise in the past 16 months or so after previous loan spells at Bristol City and Exeter City.

He has proven to be a stellar signing for the East London outfit and has racked up superb numbers in the Championship this campaign.

That looks set to prompt stern transfer interest ahead of the summer as various sides go in search of defensive reinforcements

Former Millwall goalkeeper and Everton scout Bryan King has mooted interest from Hill Dickinson Stadium and understands multiple clubs are looking into signing Crama.

Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, King said: “I think he’s put in performances this year that have generated interest from Premier League clubs.

“I’ve heard that there are three or four clubs who are interested in him.

“He got into the EFL Team of the Year, and to be fair to him, he’s had an exceptional season.

“He can play right full-back and push on, or as a central defender.

“I’ve watched him grow at Millwall to become a big part of the team, driving towards the Premier League.

“I think he’d fit in well anywhere, but he looks like an Everton player to me.

“If he gets to the Premier League with Millwall, he’ll stay there with them.”

Jake O’Brien has faced scrutiny at Everton at times, so the introduction of new competition may be worthwhile in L3.

Where would Crama fit in at Everton?

It’s fair to say that the Toffees are in need of new full-back options as both Vitalii Mykolenko and O’Brien continue to be run into the ground.

The latter has spent his whole spell under David Moyes virtually playing out of position and will likely have his eye on a role in the centre of defence.

Crama’s introduction would certainly aid that, as he has become recognised as one of the best defenders in the Championship this season.

The Frenchman could challenge for a starting role on Merseyside, while also providing cover as a centre-half for the Blues.

That could all make the Millwall man a smart piece of business for the Toffees, but all hinges on the Lions’ promotion efforts.
