Report: Everton now want to sign rival club’s captain, he’s already called them a ‘top club’
Frank Lampard is said to want the 29-year-old England international to add some experience to his back line.
Coady has been at the heart of Wolves’ defence for the past seven years since signing from Everton’s biggest rivals Liverpool.
, and Wolves would like to keep Coady at the club.
The arrival of Nathan Collins for £20.5m could see a reduction in playing time for Coady, and Lampard is keen to swoop in and pick up the defender.
Everton interested in signing Coady
Coady would be joining an Everton squad that already consists of five senior centre-backs.
However, reports suggest that the Toffees are keen to offload some of their highest earners, including Yerry Mina.
Coady has more than 150 Premier League appearances under his belt, and Everton’s interest suggests Lampard is keen to permanently switch to three at the back this season.
Everton have already reinforced their defensive options this summer, signing James Tarkowski on a free transfer from Burnley, and signing former Wolves left-back Ruben Vinagre on loan.
Bringing in Coady would be a good signing if Lampard is looking for more leaders in the squad.
And, encouragingly, – despite his obvious allegiances to Liverpool.
However, Everton’s more pressing concern will be their lack of attacking options, after confirmation that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will miss the start of the season.
