Liverpool and Everton will fight it out over Lille midfielder Soualiho Meite, the Mirror reports. The 22 year old is currently on loan in the Dutch second division with Zulte Waregem but he has been attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.

Lille signed Meite from Auxerre for £1.3million in 2013 but has been allowed to leave on loan to gain more first team experience. Despite initially breaking into Lille’s first team after appearing in 13 league matches in his first campaign, he has had limited opportunities in the past two seasons. So it is surprising that the Mirror say that the defensive midfielder is now rated close to £6million by the French club despite a lack of playing time for his parent club.

As well as the Merseyside clubs, it looks like West Ham, Schalke and Jurgen Klopp’s former side Borussia Dortmund all have their sights on the former France Under 20 international.
