According to The Athletic, Everton have tracked Red Bull Salzburg forward Hwang Hee-chan closely but do not plan to bid for him this month.

Leicester City are also interested in the South Korean, but it is Wolverhampton Wanderers that are looking to seal a £27 million deal for him this month.

Brighton are also keen on a January move for Hwang, but Salzburg prefer to let him go at the end of the season having already sold Takumi Minamino to Liverpool and Erling Haaland to Borussia Dortmund this winter.

The 23-year-old destroyed Liverpool centre-back Virgil Van Dijk to score Salzburg’s first goal during their 4-3 Champions League loss at Anfield, and Everton could do with such a quality forward this month.

Very few people can pull off something like this around Virgil van Dijk
