Gijs Smal of FC Twente has surfaced as a left-wing alternative,

while Everton centre-back Ben Godfrey has been linked with a move to Rangers but is also being pursued by

Leeds United and Italian clubs as he fights for playing time at Goodison Park.

scoring and assisting once in four Lens games,

and he scored 11 goals in 25 outings for Colombia’s Under-20s before making his professional debut.
