Everton have been looking forward to making amends for their mistakes in the last term and are aiming for a place in the top four in the league table next season. They have already shown their intention to build a strong team for the next season and have brought in a number of players from other Premier League clubs as well as European outfits.
The Toffees faced some big problems in their defence in the last term, which led them to finish the season in the 7th position in the Premier League. However, they have brought in one of the finest defenders in the Premier League this summer in the form of Michael Keane from Burnley and are looking forward to rope in more players who can give them solidity in the defence for the next term.
The man in charge at the Merseyside club, Ronald Koeman, has always been looking forward to bring in young players into his squad and nurture them in the right way to bring the best out of them. The Dutchman is known for his benevolent tutelage and has brought out the inner star from a number of young players in the past.
Currently, the wily manager is eyeing one of the finest young talents in Europe in the form of Jan Bamert, who is currently playing for Grasshopper club Zurich in the Raiffeisen Super League of Switzerland. The 19 year old is considered as one of the best young defenders in the current situation, preferring to play in a centre back role.
The youngster rose through the ranks at his current club and has now played 50 matches for the senior side, making a number of heads turn with his brilliant skills at the age of 19 only. He has also represented his country at the Under 19 level and has played a pivotal role in the success of his country as well as his club.
Everton, who were short of quality defenders in the last term, are eyeing the youngster to be brought into the side so that they do not face another critical situation in the next term.
The Swiss star is comfortable playing in a central position in the backline for the Grasshoppers, but has the ability to play as a right back as well as a left back and can make darting runs down both flanks into the opposition defence, supplying crosses from both sides of the pitch to feed his teammates. So is he the right choice for Everton?
