Everton to revive interest in Twente Fer

It looks like FC Twente box-to-box midfielder Leroy Fer has returned on Everton radar, as new Toffees boss Roberto Martinez is keen on signing the talented player.

Former Wigan boss is seriously considering the possibility of signing the 23-year-old Dutchman, as he is determined to expand his midfield options. It is to be recalled that Fer, who has been compared to legendary Patrick Vieira, was on the verge of making a switch to Goodison Park in January, but the deal collapsed after the midfielder failed to pass his medical.

Twente are unlikely to settle for anything less than £8 million. Fer is an established leader for his side, having made 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and setting up another 11. Midfielder has also earned two Netherlands caps.
