Everton could sign Kyle Walker-Peters for just £5m this month as his Southampton contract nears an end. This move would be a significant blow to Ivan Jurić, who would lose an important player.

Everton have shown interest in Southampton right-back Kyle Walker-Peters, who has only six months left on his contract and is reportedly unwilling to sign an extension. Southampton is open to considering a bid of approximately £7 million, although Everton considers this price to be excessive. The club may revisit the possibility of a transfer in the summer if Southampton decides to lower their financial expectations. Leicester City, which is also interested in Walker-Peters, shares the view that the £7 million valuation is too high. Everton is currently keeping an eye on both left-back and right-back options to bolster their squad this month, but they do not intend to make an offer for Walker-Peters unless Southampton decreases their asking price.
