What are your thoughts on a potential move for Marcus Rashford? š Everton and Man United are said to be in talks over January moveā¦
No no no thanks

Who is Everton target Orri Oskarsson?
Orri Oskarsson was born in Reykjavik, Iceland, on 29 August 2004, making him 22 years old.
His football journey began when he joined Icelandic side GrĆ³tta, and remarkably, he actually made his debut aged just 13 years and 354 days, when he came on as a substitute in the 2018 2. deild match against Hƶttur. His father Ćskar Hrafn Ćorvaldsson was the manager, and he scored a brace.
He then had a stint at FC Copenhagen, which also featured a loan spell with SĆønderjyske. After a string of impressive performances, clubs from Europeās top five leagues became interested. And in the end, it was Real Sociedad who landed him in a ā¬20 million deal.
To date, heās scored 21 goals in 75 appearances and he also has international pedigree, scoring 12 in 22 caps. He is Icelandās captain.

Interesting facts and his idols
In addition to making his debut at the age of just 13, Oskarsson actually also scored a hat-trick against his dadās side BreiĆ°ablik in Champions League qualifying in August 2023.
In an interview with Mundo Deportivo a few years ago, he stated that the thing he needed to improve the most was keeping his own home clean, and that his big strength was his happiness.
He also cited Robert Lewandowski, Harry Kane and Alexander Isak as his idols.
His favourite type of goal to score is the tap-in.
Who else is interested and how much could he cost?
As per the report from TEAMtalk, there are a few other clubs, who could pose a threat to Everton in the race to sign Oskarsson. They are:
Tottenham
Newcastle
Sunderland
Brentford
There havenāt been any reports of an asking price for Oskarsson, but he is under contract with Real Sociedad until the summer of 2030 and has been in great form this season, scoring four goals in 11 games.
Undoubtedly, Sociedad would be looking to make a healthy profit on the ā¬20 million they paid for him, and certainly, if Everton are going to get involved, then they will demand a high price, knowing the Toffees are in dire need.
