Everton want Burnley attacking midfielder Dwight McNeil

Everton are interested in signing Burnley attacking midfielder Dwight McNeil this summer, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The Blues have three wingers on their wishlist, and a move for the 21-year-old could cost them in the region of £25 million.

Everton face stiff competition for McNeil, with Aston Villa said to be in pole position for his signature.

They are closing in on deals for Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray, and the Burnley star could be next.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is an admirer of McNeil’s and was keen to replace him with Leroy Sane last summer.
