Everton and West Ham look set to compete over the signature of Lille defender Adama Soumaoro in the January transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.
Everton and West Ham have seen improvement in their performances in recent weeks thanks to improved defensive displays.
While both West Ham and Everton have found better defensive organization under the management of defensive coaches like David Moyes and Sam Allardyce, it looks like both these managers are dissatisfied with the options they currently have at their disposal and as a result, are looking to dip into the transfer market.
As a result, the two Premier League teams are believed to be looking for a new defender to provide competition in the squad and it looks like both West Ham and Everton have stumbled upon the same player to provide upgrade in defense.
Recent reports suggest that Lille’s Adama Soumaoro has attracted the attention of both Allardyce and Moyes – which means the duo of West Ham and Everton will have to battle with each other for the signature of the 25-year-old.
