According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1350087613403836420\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/category\/premier-league\/everton\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a> and Serie A side Parma are in talks with Bayern over a loan deal for the talented attacker.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager striker has made a handful of appearances for the European Champions this season.<\/p>\n<h2>Joshua Zirkzee Emerges as a Transfer Target for Everton<\/h2>\n<h3>Bayern Munich are in Talks With the Toffees Over a Loan Deal<\/h3>\n<p>Zirkzee has made just eight appearances across three competitions for Bayern Munich this season. Unsurprisingly, he is struggling for game time with <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8d78e732\/Robert-Lewandowski\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Lewandowski<\/a> continuing to deliver the goods for Hansi Flick\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>It appeared that Zirkzee was set to join Eintracht Frankfurt. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/14\/luka-jovic-joins-former-club-eintracht-frankfurt-on-loan-from-real-madrid\/\" target=\"_self\">they instead have re-signed Luka Jovic from Real Madrid<\/a> after he was made available. While that move has broken down, Zirkzee isn\u2019t short on suitors to take him.<\/p>\n<p>Everton are leading the chase for the talented teenager. Carlo Ancelotti is looking to enhance his attacking options as he looks to ensure European football for the Toffees. He would compete with the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/59e6e5bf\/Dominic-Calvert-Lewin\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ab4b3e35\/Bernard\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bernard<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/fa031b34\/Richarlison\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Richarlison<\/a> for a place in the Everton side.<\/p>\n<p>His versatility would be a huge plus for Ancelotti. Zirkzee has demonstrated he can play in all forward areas and possess real quality on the ball. He would suit Everton\u2019s attacking style of play and certainly would get a chance to impress.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Face Stiff Competition for the Talented Attacker<\/h3>\n<p>However, Everton face competition for the Dutch teenager with Serie A side Parma also interested. Like Everton, they too are in talks with Bayern Munich over a loan deal.<\/p>\n<p>Should Parma win the race, Zirkzee will join a side desperately short on goals and battling relegation. They boast Serie A\u2019s weakest attack scoring just 13 goals in 17 league games.<\/p>\n<p>Parma sit 19<sup>th<\/sup> in the Serie A table, two points adrift of safety. Roberto D\u2019Aversa has recently returned as manager but has yet to pick up a point.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a viable option for Zirkzee but, he will join a team on a tough run of form and struggling for points.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Xkb1_5_2Sh9KifaGXZDQVA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1287397268\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Xkb1_5_2Sh9KifaGXZDQVA',sig:'gwyHzXrtNVzLBuRiN65uvpWXPKBzKTax534wmp8Fzhc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1287397268',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayern Munich youngster Joshua Zirkzee is a wanted man.
