Everton leading Rojo chase

Everton are the front-runners in the race to sign Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo, according to the Mirror.

The Argentina international has been told he can find a new club, but only if United’s £30m valuation is met by any potential suitor.

He signed a new deal with the Red Devils back in March that runs until 2021, with the option of a further year though that was to protect his market value.

Having struggled somewhat with injury early in the campaign, the twenty-eight-year-old played just nine times in the league for Jose Mourinho’s side last term.

However, he was included in his country’s squad for the World Cup finals, scoring a vital late winner in their final group match against Nigeria to ensure qualification for the knockout stages.

Newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanders are also interested in signing the former Sporting CP man though Goodison Park is a more realistic destination.
