Jonathan Biabiany On Evertons Radar?

Everton and Southampton go head-to-head in £6m chase for Parma winger Jonathan Biabiany.


EVERTON and Southampton are the latest Premier League clubs to show an interest in Parma's Jonathan Biabiany this summer.

The 26-year-old was in fine form in Serie A last season, scoring seven goals and assisting as many to guide Parma to a sixth-place finish.

And reports in Italy suggest Everton and Southampton are keen to add the former France Under-21 international to their attacking ranks.

The Toffees are in need of depth with the added fixtures of the Europa League this season, while the Saints are desperate to replace six first-team departures.

West Brom were understood to be interested in the forward, but the club's £4.4m bid wasn't enough to tempt the Crusaders to sell.

Biabiany could be set to stay in Italy, with Serie A rivals Inter, Roma, Milan and Juventus also linked with a move.

Parma are reportedly holding out for a bid of least £6m for their prized asset.
