Everton want Sako - Roberto Martinez is hoping to sign Bakary Sako to replace
Aaron Lennon, per The Sun. Lennon spent the second half of the season on loan at Everton, but the Toffees aren't sure they will be able to bring him on permanently so they are looking at other options. Sako had a good run at Wolves and is out of contract this summer so he's going to be available.
Paper Round's view - Everton aren't looking for a superstar winger, just a nice option that can do a job and give them depth. That's the role Lennon played and it's one Sako can play too. That he's available on a free just makes him all the more attractive. The Toffees will almost assuredly have competition for Sako, with several other Premier League clubs interested in signing him, but Everton is the highest profile of his suitors so they may have a leg up.
