Everton pursue Bologna's Emil Holm amid competition this summer
Summary

Everton has reignited interest in Bologna's Emil Holm, a Swedish right-back, ahead of the summer transfer window. Having previously failed to acquire him in January, the club faces competition from Sunderland, Brighton, and Brentford. Holm, 26, spent the latter part of the 2025/26 season on loan at Juventus but made only seven appearances due to injuries. With Bologna looking to offload him after a disappointing season, Everton has reportedly submitted a bid that was rejected. The player's inclusion in Sweden's World Cup squad could increase his market value, complicating Everton's pursuit if he performs well.
