Everton and West Ham consider moves for Lemina

Jul 13, 2017

Everton and West Ham are considering making a move for Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina.

Lemina wants to leave Juventus for more playing time
Arsenal were showing an interest earlier this summer
Everton and West Ham are now interested, along with other European clubs

Lemina could leave Juventus this summer as he wants more consistent playing time. The 23-year-old has struggled for minutes due to the stiff competition for starting place.

The likes of Sami Khedira, Claudio Marchisio and Miralem Pjanic have kept him sidelined for the majority. According to reports, Everton and West Ham are interested in signing him, as are Sevilla, Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray.

Arsenal were showing an interest in Lemina earlier this summer, but have yet to make a serious move for him. Back then, Arsenal’s only competition was Watford. Now it seems the Gabon international will have his pick of clubs to chose from.

Lemina made just 29 appearances for Juventus in Serie A last season, but started just 11 times.
