Another day, another new striker linked with Everton. But in the case of Ben Brereton Diaz, this one seems to make sense.
The Blackburn Rovers talisman is very much a forward on the up - for both club and country. He was the third top scorer in the Championship last season with 22 goals and he has continued where he left off with two in his first four appearances this season. And the 23-year-old has become a star on the international scene too after swapping allegiances from England to Chile, the birthplace of his mum, and having scored four goals in his first 15 caps for La Roja.
If that wasn’t already attractive enough to potential suitors at home and abroad, who are said to include Everton, there’s also the fact that the Stoke-on-Trent-born frontman has less than 12 months remaining on his current Rovers contract. However, clubs who think they could get Brereton Diaz on the cheap are in for a surprise.
