Everton could rekindle their interest in Blackburn Rovers striker Ben Brereton Diaz in the January transfer window.
That’s according to journalist Pete O’Rourke, who claims that Everton could reconsider the opportunity to sign Diaz, especially as his price is likely to drop in January.
Diaz is out of contract next summer, so Blackburn will have to cash in or risk losing him on a free transfer.
“Brereton Diaz, I am sure, will be someone they (Everton) will look at again in January, knowing that his price will also be reduced due to his contract situation. So I think Everton, if they’re in the market for attacking reinforcements, Brereton Diaz will probably be pretty high up the list,” O’Rourke said, speaking to GiveMeSport.

Diaz is capable of playing both on the wing and in the middle, and this kind of versatility could make him a useful addition to Frank Lampard’s team.
After losing Richarlison during the summer transfer window, Everton have yet to replace the Brazilian with a player of a similar profile, someone capable of playing from the left and covering as a striker.
Now, there’s no doubting the difference in quality between Diaz and Richarlison, but the former has proven himself in front of goal during his time at Blackburn, and could be a smart strike at the right price.
