“Enormous potential” – Everton mulling over move for Man City player attracting EFL interest: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict’ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Everton are the latest club to be linked with a move to Manchester City goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, as per the Irish Independent.

According to their report, Everton have watched the 20-year-old’s progress closely on loan in League One with Portsmouth this campaign and are eyeing up a summer move for the shot-stopper.

Last week it was claimed that Everton are willing to listen to offers for current number one Jordan Pickford this summer, regardless of whether or not they are relegated from the Premier League.

It has also emerged recently that Bazunu is once again seeking regular game time next season after a successful loan spell in 21/22.

Sheffield United and Bournemouth are EFL clubs that have been credited with an interest in the Irish international.

Considering the above, we asked some of our writers here at FLW for their thoughts on Bazunu being linked to the Toffees.

In League One he proved to be one of, if not the best shot-stopper in the division, possessing the reflexes and intuition of a goalkeeper who can thrive at the very top of the game.

He has also displayed excellent ability on the ball, showing a real sense of composure when teams look to press high, with his range of passing being key to starting attacks for Pompey.
