According to a report by the Daily Mail, Everton have made an enquiry for Aston Villa captain John McGinn, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. The Scottish midfielder has 77 international caps for his national side, and he is a proven performer for both club and country.
Everton need more quality and depth in midfield, and the Scottish international could be the ideal addition. McGinn has consistently shown his ability in the Premier League, and there is no doubt he is good enough for the Toffees. Apart from his quality on the pitch, his leadership could prove vital as well.
Everton will be hoping to push for a top-half finish next season. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right additions during the summer transfer window. The Toffees showed improvement under David Moyes last season, and they will look to build on that progress.
Meanwhile, McGinn remains a key player for Aston Villa, and the club will not want to lose their captain easily. The West Midlands will hope to push for European qualification again next season, and they must retain their best players to maintain momentum.
Everton have made an initial enquiry for the Scot, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up with an official proposal. They will need to spend a substantial amount to sign the experienced midfielder. Convincing McGinn to join could be a challenge, but the Aston Villa captain might feel that this is the right time to take on a new challenge.
He is at the peak of his career, and Everton could present an exciting opportunity. It will be interesting to see if Everton comes forward with an offer. Aston Villa are lacking in depth in the midfield, and they cannot afford to lose the Scottish international this summer.
Letting their club captain leave would weaken the West Midlands outfit in the middle of the park. Aston Villa must sign a quality player before letting him leave, and they have been linked with several midfielders, including Douglas Luiz.
