Blinksportsnews247According to a recent report by The Evening Standard, Everton is one of the teams vying for Krasnodar forward Jhon Cordoba. According to reports, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham could compete with the Toffees for the signature of the Colombian attacker.
Cordoba’s Magnificent Shape Throughout this campaign, Cordoba has led Krasnodar’s offensive with a string of outstanding performances in Russian football. In 20 games across several tournaments this season, he has performed admirably for the Russian team, tallying 11 goals and dishing out four assists.
In the Russian Premier League, the 30-year-old has been a great line leader for Krasnodar, averaging 2.9 shots, 0.7 critical passes, and 0.8 dribbles per game. Though he only completed 67.5% of his passes in the Russian first division, he still needs to focus on improving his ball distribution up top (data via whoscored).
Does Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, Fit Well in Cordoba?
Cordoba is able to create a yard of space for himself in order to land several hits. He usually moves pretty deftly in and around the opponent’s penalty box and has the eye to play a few key passes in the closing third. The talented Colombian can be a towering presence in the last third, standing at 1.88 metres. He needs to figure out how to play better link-up play up top, though.
Cordoba should provide Everton manager Sean Dyche’s attacking line extra punch. He is capable of competing for a starting position on a regular basis at the Merseyside team, which might help the Toffees avoid the Premier League’s relegation zone this year.
As a result, Dyche ought to consider bringing the Krasnodar star on board before the winter transfer window closes because he will now be a suitable fit for Everton’s needs. Some people are worried about his ability to adjust to life in Merseyside, though.
