Everton have ‘made contact’ with former Manchester United player Adnan Januzaj, according to reports in his native Belgium. The 23-year-old winger is currently with Spanish club Real Sociedad having left United for La Liga last summer. But now, Het Nieuwsblad suggest a quick return to the Premier League could be on the cards, adding that Goodison Park could be a ‘nice destination’ for Januzaj as he knows England’s North West.
Januzaj reminded an English audience of his talents when he scored an eye-catching winning goal against the Three Lions in their final group match at the World Cup. The goal ensured Belgium advanced to the knockout stages as group winners and they ultimately finished third in the tournament after defeating England again in Saturday’s third place play-off. Januzaj played 86 minutes of the dead rubber group match with England in Kaliningrad but didn’t feature in any other match of Belgium’s World Cup campaign.
