According to HITC, Everton, West Ham, Brentford, and Bournemouth are all interested in signing Middlesbrough defender Rav van den Berg.
On March 6, the news source said that the 19-year-old center defender had been scouted by the Toffees.
While he is highly rated at Middlesbrough, the Dutchman could consider an exit in the summer despite the club wanting to hold on to him.
Will van den Berg improve Everton?
If the Toffees are seriously considering signing the Dutchman, they must proceed with caution and ensure they thoroughly evaluate his potential as the money remains tight at the club.
At just 19 years old, van den Berg is not yet a finished product, meaning there is a level of uncertainty regarding his future development.
Additionally, with interest from several Premier League clubs, his value could increase rapidly, making him a costly acquisition.
Van den Berg, though, could offer vital depth if Everton lost players like Ben Godfrey and Seamus Coleman in the summer, especially considering his versatility as a right-back.
It’s important that they carefully assess his current abilities, future potential and the potential impact of his arrival on their squad dynamics before making any decision.
They must carefully assess the benefits and drawbacks of signing him, taking into account both the immediate and long-term effects on the team.
In other Everton news, there is growing pressure as a new takeover twist casts question on the Toffees’ financial future.
