Why Leon Bailey would be perfect for Everton after recent report
It was reported on Sunday that Everton are in the market for a new winger, with a left-footed wide-man being targeted ahead of the summer window. The Toffees have lacked a direct winger on the right side of their attack for some time now. James Rodriguez was brought into the club last summer and did start the season on the right-wing.

It is now being reported that Everton are targeting a new right-winger in the summer transfer window. Accordin...
