Everton have requested information about Eddy Kouadio, a 20-year-old Italian-Ivorian centre-back, and are described as showing particular interest in the player. In recent weeks, other English clubs including Brighton, Hull City, Bournemouth, and Brentford have also made inquiries about the Fiorentina-owned youngster. Kouadio is on a season-long loan at Monza, which he joined in July 2026, and signed a contract extension with Fiorentina until 2030 last February. Monza has no intention of cutting the loan short in January, meaning any potential transfer will have to wait until the end of the season. At that point, Fiorentina will decide whether to sell him or keep him. Kouadio's current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.0M.
