Everton should prioritise signing Steven N’Zonzi to replace Morgan Schneiderlin

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has admitted that he was on a scouting mission during his latest visit to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United’s Champions League clash against Sevilla.

Sevilla won the tie 2-1 to progress to the next round, and Allardyce must have been pleased with the performance of Steven N’Zonzi.

Everton had shown interest in signing N’Zonzi in the January transfer window, with the Liverpool Echo reporting that the Blues had held initial talks with the Andalusian club over the prospect of signing the midfielder who is valued at £25 million.
