Everton have been offered the opportunity to sign RP Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg, and he could be just what the club need as they prepare to re-enter the Europa League.
The Blues, despite having dropped into the relegation zone as recently as December, now have their sights firmly set on returning to the continental stage, having climbed within touching distance of the top six.
After Manchester City’s Champions League ban, the Blues could even hope to see eighth place offer European football, further increasing the chance that Everton fans could welcome the return of Thursday night fixtures next season.

According to
SportBild, Leipzig have offered Everton the chance to sign versatile attacker Forsberg for just €20million, while Leicester, Tottenham and Manchester United have been presented with similar offers.
Forsberg has not only scored three times in seven Champions League, but also has demonstrated his capability on the European stage, and Everton could look to utilise that experience as they pursue continental success themselves.
The Athletic also report that Carlo Ancelotti wants to sign a midfielder of his own this summer, while Marcel Brands could look to swing the axe on high earning players already in that position, such as Morgan Schneiderlin and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
