King backs Everton to hijack Leicester City transfer for free agent

Bryan King has backed Everton to complete the free signing of Yusuf Yazici.

The ex-Toffees scout believes any new owners should have the final say on what players are signed.

It comes after Jeunes Footeux reported (7 September) that the Toffees are looking to hijack Leicester City’s move for Yazici, who is a free agent after leaving Lille.

And King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – feels that the 27-year-old would be a positive addition for whoever ended up signing him.

“This could be a useful addition, especially if he is a free transfer,” King said.

“It isn’t going to break any financial fair play rules. At the moment, there seems to be a lot of decisions being made but no real concrete action. That worries me a little bit.

“Everton can’t do anything until a new manager or new owner comes in. However, that profile of player, that quality of player will be useful for whoever he ends up playing with in the Premier League.”

Everton to hijack Leicester City transfer move for Yusuf Yazici?

There is a lot of uncertainty at Goodison Park at the moment.

That makes transfer decisions incredibly difficult. Should Textor complete a takeover of Everton, he might decide to bring in a brand-new manager.

And that manager might feel as though Yazici is not the player he wants.

Therefore, until the takeover saga is resolved, Everton might struggle to make any transfer decisions.

In other Everton news, takeover progress has been mooted behind the scenes after a recent club-record deal was agreed.
