Everton now have clear path to Lutsharel Geertruida signing after Sunderland latest.
Must admit never heard of this right back, apparently played last season fir Sunderland bluenose. Have you any info on him?

Lutsharel Geertruida played for Sunderland on loan last season from Leipzig and made 28 appearances. He had some good games and one especially good one against us.
He is naturally a right back, but can play centre back or defensive mid also. He has good defensive positioning and is rarely caught out. He is calm under pressure and keeps good composure. He is strong in duels, has good physical strength, and is also well disciplined.
But he doesn't have that attacking threat we all want from our fullbacks, and he got no goals and no assists for Sunderland last season. He is also a slow player, and would struggle when coming up against any explosive wingers. He has ok passing, but also rarely breaks the line with his passing, and can be quite conservative.
Leipzig would also want around EUR20m for him, which I think we could get a better player for.

Sounds like a DM type of player then.

Is the Club after him? If so, they are off their heads.
