Everton are planning to make a move for Schalke’s rising talent Matthew Hoppe this summer.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Toffee will bid for the ‘striking sensation’ in the next few days.
Everton have already collected necessary information for Hoppe, and they have been in contact to sign him.
Schalke, who were relegated from the Bundesliga last season, would be powerless to prevent Hoppe from leaving the club if Everton come calling.
It has been claimed that the Toffees are planning to offer a paltry £2 million bid for the five-times capped US international.
