SL View: Christian Luyindama would be a cheaper alternative for Everton target Gabriel

Carlo Ancelotti is expected to be busy in the summer transfer window (whenever that takes place) and bolstering the defence would be one of his top priorities.

The likes of Yerry Mina and Michael Keane has hardly been convincing alongside Mason Holgate, and chances are high that Ancelotti will ship out either one of them or both to freshen up the defensive unit.

Lille’s highly-rated young defender Gabriel has been heavily linked with a move, with reports even suggesting that Everton have submitted a £30m bid for the 22-year-old already. However, several European heavyweights are vying for his signature, and it won’t be easy for Everton to lure him to Goodison Park.
