EVERTON are reportedly in the running to sign Juventus star Aaron Ramsey in the January transfer window.
The Toffees have had a disappointing start to the season, losing seven out of 15 league games so far.
However, Rafa Benitez is eager to turn things around and plans to make some key signings in January, starting with former Arsenal man Ramsey.
The 30-year-old signed for Juventus in 2019 but his career in Italy did not take off as expected.
He has only made five appearances so far this season and Massimiliano Allegri has not ruled out the possibility of selling him.
Everton have lacked creativity in midfield recently which has contributed to their run of poor form.
The addition of Ramsey could be a huge boost to the squad, especially given his experience in the Premier League.
The Welshman made 262 league appearances for Arsenal, recording 40 goals and 46 assists.

Experienced players like Ramsey could be just what Everton need in order to climb further up the table.
Benitez recently suggested that he now has much more power over the club’s transfer activity after Marcel Brands quit as director of football.
The Merseyside club have already been linked with a number of players ahead of the January window, including Callum Chambers, Jesse Lingard and Eden Hazard.
Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has been under fire recently due to the club’s poor form, so some transfer investment will have to be made to keep the fans on side.
