3 EFL players Everton could turn to if unsuccessful in Watford player pursuit | OneFootball

Everton are one of several Premier League clubs currently interested in above for Watford attacker Joao Pedro, as per a report from 90min.com.

Newcastle United have seen a couple of bids rejected for the 20-year-old, with Watford standing firm as interest seemingly accumulates.

The report from 90min.com also credits Leeds United, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest and Wolves with an interest in the exciting forward.

Here, we take a look at three EFL talents who Everton could turn to if unsuccessful in their pursuit of Pedro…

Antoine Semenyo

Antoine Semenyo scored eight times and provided 12 assists in 31 Championship appearances last time out, averaging a goal contribution every 106 minutes.

The 22-year-old possesses a lot of desirable abilities that would justify a top-flight move this summer, with Semenyo’s physicality, link-up play and ability with the ball at his feet all at a really high level already.

Evidently a scorer of goals, and a creator of them too, Semenyo is someone who deserves top-flight football.

Ben Brereton Diaz

The immediate future of Ben Brereton Diaz is an interesting situation that is seemingly no closer to being solved than at the start of the window.

Ultimately, Blackburn Rovers hold a valuation that no other club in pursuit has matched as of yet, and there has been no signs of Rovers budging.

Risking losing Brereton Diaz for a very small fee in January, or for nothing beyond that, Rovers’ stance may soften as the end of the transfer window approaches, and should that happen, Everton should look to capitalise.

Tommy Conway

Taking attention back to Bristol City, 20-year-old Tommy Conway has started the new season in electric form.

The energetic, pacey striker has netted four times and has provided two assists in seven appearances in all competitions thus far, growing in importance and stature within the Championship club.

A player with great technical ability, and lots of attacking intelligence, the early signs suggest that Conway could go on and enjoy a very successful career.
