The Everton stars that won't be happy as contact made over Kevin De Bruyne transfer

Calciomercato reports Everton have made contact with Napoli over a potential move for Kevin De Bruyne, though a January deal remains uncertain.

Italian outlet Calciomercato reported that Everton have made contact with Napoli to assess the possibility of signing Kevin De Bruyne. The 35-year-old Belgian midfielder would represent a surprise target for the Toffees as they seek reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window.

The article suggests that if De Bruyne were to arrive at Finch Farm, it would significantly impact the playing time of several Everton players. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has impressed this season with five goals and assists, would likely see his opportunities reduced as De Bruyne would demand regular action in an attacking midfield role.

Hayden Hackney, signed from Middlesbrough in the summer, would drop further down the pecking order, while Argentine midfielder Charly Alcaraz, who has barely featured in the Premier League this season, could be prompted to leave the club.
