Everton are pondering over a summer swoop for Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, according to Bleacher Report.

What's the word?

It is not the first time that Sigurdsson has been linked to the Merseyside outfit.

The 27-year-old was a rumoured transfer target for Everton in January and last summer.

Bleacher Report claims that the Icelandic midfielder will be on Ronald Koeman's wishlist for end-of-season business following a string of impressive performances at the Liberty Stadium.

The report adds that the Welsh outfit may consider selling if they receive an offer in the region of £20m and £25m.

It is also believed that the player himself is ready to call time on a three-year spell at Swansea.

Is Sigurdsson the right fit for Everton?

The midfielder is the calibre of player that the Toffees should be focusing on if they want to push themselves towards the top six of the Premier League.

At the moment, the Merseyside outfit are on the cusp of challenging the elite members of the division as they currently reside five points adrift of sixth-placed Manchester United.

In terms of playing style, Sigurdsson has the creativity to fit into Koeman's team and he is also strong on set pieces.

With rumours rife that Everton will target Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney in the summer, Sigurdsson's arrival could compliment a new-look team.

The midfielder, who joined the Swans following a two-year spell at Tottenham Hotspur, has produced 10 assists and scored nine goals in all competitions so far this season.
