Everton are closing in on a deal for Juventus winger Edon Zhegrova as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026-27 Premier League campaign. The 24-year-old Kosovo international is expected to leave Turin this summer, with the Toffees emerging as strong contenders for his signature.
Who is Edon Zhegrova?
Zhegrova, a versatile winger who can play on either flank, has spent the last two seasons at Juventus. The Kosovo international joined the Serie A giants from Young Boys in 2022 and has made 45 appearances for the club, scoring five goals and providing three assists. His pace and direct style of play could add a new dimension to Everton's attack.
Why Everton need reinforcements
Everton finished 13th in the Premier League last season with 49 points from 38 games, scoring 47 goals and conceding 50. Their recent form was poor, with just two draws and three losses in their last five matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on May 24. The Toffees are looking to improve their squad to avoid another mid-table finish.
What comes next for Everton?
With the transfer window open, Everton are expected to make further signings to bolster their squad. Their next fixture is an away game against Bolton on July 25, and manager Sean Dyche will be hoping to have his new signings ready for the start of the new season.
