Everton's interest in Keito Nakamura has been confirmed, with the Japanese international open to a move to the Premier League. As of the final 2025 table, Everton are 8th in the Premier League, with 47 points from 32 games, and a recent form of DWLWW.
What happened?
Nakamura, who led Stade Reims with 14 goals in Ligue 2 last season, is valued at £21.5million by the French club.
Why it matters for Everton
The Toffees are looking to strengthen their wide options, and Nakamura's eagerness to move to England's top flight makes him an attractive target.
What comes next?
With Hull City also in the mix, Everton will need to act quickly to secure Nakamura's signature, and the player's current contract until 2028 means Stade Reims are in no rush to sell. As Everton prepare for their next fixture against Leeds on 2027-02-10, they will be hoping to add Nakamura to their squad to boost their chances of moving up the table, currently 23 points behind leaders Arsenal, with 39 goals scored and 37 conceded so far this season.
