Everton will look to sign 27-year-old Senegalese international Krepin Diatta in a Bosman move in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.

According to a report by French outlet Foot Mercato, Krepin Diatta is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are eager to bolster their first-team squad by signing a wide attacker ahead of the 2026/27 season, and they have set their sights on the 27-year-old former AS Monaco star.

Per Foot Mercato, Everton will face stiff competition for the African attacker’s signature, as he is also a target for Ipswich Town and FC Schalke 04. However, these suitors may have fallen behind Marseille in the battle for Diatta’s signature, as the Ligue 1 giants have submitted enquiries for a summer deal.

Who is Krepin Diatta?

Krepin Diatta has established himself as one of the most intriguing players in Ligue 1 during his stint with AS Monaco. Born in Dakar, the 27-year-old spent his formative years in Senegal and graduated from the youth division at Oslo Football Academy Dakar before moving to Europe in February 2017.

The Senegalese international spent half a decade with AS Monaco, making nearly 150 appearances while chipping in with eight goals and nine assists. However, he has become a free agent after leaving the Ligue 1 club upon the expiration of his contract, with the situation capturing the attention of several well-known clubs.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Everton’s interest in Krepin Diatta is understandable. The Toffees are combing the market for a right-sided player who can play as a right-sided attacker as they are concerned about Iliman Ndiaye’s long-term future. The Senegalese international is a target for Al-Hilal, and replacing him with his compatriot may be a sensible decision.

The former AS Monaco wide player has extensive experience of a top-five European league, which adds to his appeal.
