Everton locked in Benfica talks over Andrija Zivkovic January deal

Everton are launching a new bid for Benfica winger Andrija Zivkovic.

The Serbia international, a former U20 World Cup winner, is being lined up for a January move to England by the Toffees, says Blic.

It's been revealed Everton failed with an offer for Zivkovic last summer, with Benfica demanding €35m to sell at the time - a price regarded as too steep by the Blues. But they're now trying again.

For his part, Zivkovic is keen on the move, having long harboured an ambition of playing in England.

Talks are underway over a loan arrangement with an option to buy permanently at the end of this season.
