Everton 'set asking price' for loanee as major loss touted on midfielder

Everton have reportedly named their asking price for Jean-Philippe Gbamin as the midfielder is linked with an exit from Goodison Park.

The January transfer window promises to be a busy month for the Blues, with Frank Lampard likely to be keen to strengthen his squad. The Everton boss spoke about the club’s transfer plans during their recent tour of Australia.

One player whose long-term future at Goodison Park remains uncertain is Gbamin. The midfielder is currently on loan at Turkish club Trabzonspor for the remainder of the season.

According to a report from Turkey, Everton have listed their asking price for Gbamin to leave the club permanently. It has been claimed by 61Saat that the Blues would demand a fee in the region of €5m-€7m (£4m-£6m).

Trabzonspor reportedly do not have the option of making the move for Gbamin permanent at the end of his loan spell. However, the report states that if Everton lower their valuation then it could tempt the Super Lig club to do business to sign Gbamin.

The 27-year-old moved to Everton in 2019 from Mainz in a deal worth £25m. However, a series of injuries have restricted the midfielder to making just eight appearances since his move to Goodison more than three years ago.

During his loan spell in Turkey, Gbamin has already played 13 matches for Trabzonspor and appears to be impressing.
