Everton sees Gudmundsson as a potential solution for the left-back position amidst their ongoing squad rebuild. The club is keen on acquiring Gudmundsson to provide competition for Vitaly Mykolenko, who is currently the only natural left-back in their lineup. The 27-year-old Swedish international, who plays for Lille, has drawn attention because his contract is set to expire in June 2026, positioning him as a cost-effective option with a possible transfer fee of around £8m. Gudmundsson's combination of attacking prowess and defensive reliability has garnered interest from several Premier League clubs, including Leeds United, who are also keen on signing him. As Gudmundsson is open to moving to the Premier League, Everton faces competition not only from Leeds but also from other unnamed top-flight English clubs and Bundesliga teams. Lille might consider selling him this summer to avoid losing him for free later.
