David Moyes hopes Everton can land David Hancko after stadium move

Everton are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Slovakian defender David Hancko from Feyenoord in the summer transfer window.

According to Football Insider, David Moyes is hoping that moving to Bramley-Moore Dock move could help Everton finance a deal for 27-year-old Feyenoord defender David Hancko in the summer transfer window.

Hancko has been linked with Liverpool as well. It remains to be seen whether Everton can get the deal done. The Toffees need to tighten up at the back, and they are looking at multiple central defenders this summer.

Hancko has proven himself in the Eredivisie and in the UEFA Champions league. There is no doubt that he is good enough to play in the Premier League. The opportunity to move to Everton could be exciting for him.

The Slovak has been linked with Liverpool as well, but it seems unlikely that the Reds will make a move for the player. They are close to agreeing on a new deal with Virgil van Dijk, and they will not be able to accommodate Hancko in the starting lineup.

The 27-year-old Slovakian defender will want to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Liverpool will not be able to provide him with that opportunity. Meanwhile, Everton could lose Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer transfer window, and they need to replace him with a quality player. David Hancko could be the ideal acquisition for them.

Everton need quality additions

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Everton have shown great improvement under David Moyes during the second half of the season, and the Scottish manager will be hoping to guide them into the top half and fight for European qualification next season.

Everton will need quality signings for that to happen, and the Feyenoord defender could certainly help them tighten up defensively. David Hancko is at the peak of his powers, and he will want to test himself at the highest level. The move to the Premier League would be ideal for him.

The report from Football Insider adds that Everton have ambitious plans heading into the summer transfer window, and the club hierarchy will make substantial funds available to Moyes. It remains to be seen whether he can use the resources properly and plug the weaknesses in his squad.
