Everton Join Race to Sign 6’3″ Centre-Back Thomas Kristensen
Everton has entered the race to sign Udinese centre-back Thomas Kristensen, who has been valued at £17 million. The 23-year-old Danish defender has attracted interest from several top clubs, including West Ham United, Juventus, and AC Milan.
Replacing Michael Keane
With Michael Keane set to leave Everton as a free agent in the summer, the club is looking to sign a replacement. Kristensen, who stands at 6’3″, could form a dominant partnership with Jarrad Branthwaite at the heart of Everton’s defense.
Kristensen’s Rise to Prominence
Kristensen joined Udinese for just €5 million (£4 million) two years ago, but his value has skyrocketed since then. He has been described as a “complete, elegant & dominant” centre-back by scout/analyst Jacek Kulig.
Competition for Kristensen’s Signature
Everton faces stiff competition for Kristensen’s signature, with several top clubs interested in signing him. However, the Toffees believe they can land the Danish defender for £17 million, which would be a coup considering his rising value.
David Moyes’ Plans
Everton manager David Moyes is keen to strengthen his defense, and Kristensen fits the bill. With James Tarkowski now 32, Moyes may see Kristensen as a long-term partner for Branthwaite at the heart of the Everton defense.
