Everton plan for sensational January arrival now backed by second source

Everton assessing feasibility of signing Kevin De Bruyne from Napoli in January; second source now reports the club is 'dreaming' of the move.

Everton have made contact with Kevin De Bruyne's representatives ahead of the January transfer window, according to reports from Sport Witness and Mondo Napoli. Manager David Moyes is reportedly looking to strengthen his midfield with a player capable of adding creativity in the final third, and the 35-year-old Belgian has emerged as a target.

Everton are said to be evaluating whether a deal would be a loan or permanent transfer. The club is willing to offer De Bruyne a central role in the project. De Bruyne's own preferences could be key — a return to the Premier League near Manchester could appeal to him.

Napoli's willingness to sell remains unclear. De Bruyne has been a key player for the Italian club but has reportedly had spats with teammates and staff. Some reports suggest Napoli may be open to letting him leave, though they would likely be reluctant given his importance to their project.
