England legend and Everton coach Frank Lampard is working towards his first signing of the season with Super Eagles player appearing on top of his wanted list, Nigeriasoccernet can report.
Lampard who was brought in on the final transfer day in January to help salvaged Everton's season will be entering his first full season as the coach of the club.
To avoid last season's scenario, Everton are seriously in the transfer market for top players and the first on the list is Nigeria defender, Zaidu Sanusi.
According to football fancast, Everton are one of the clubs interested in signing Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi.
As per the report, the Toffees join a number of Premier League clubs interested in signing the Nigerian player this summer with Fulham, Brighton and Crystal Palace named as potentially interested parties.
There is a desperate need for improvements in the squad following a difficult relegation battle for Everton, and with Sanusi’s experience on the left side of the back-line at Champions League level, Lampard would surely love to add him to the squad.
The dynamo who reportedly has a £43m release clause has been impressing for Porto over the last season during his 24 appearances in the Primeira Liga.
Sanusi who was dubbed “superb” by one journalist on Twitter, scored three goals, made 1.3 tackles, 1.2 interceptions and won 3.5 duels on average per game, as well as completing an impressive 88% accuracy in his own half from his position as left-back.
