Well, ive been looking, Mertens contract expiries in 2018, there was talk around October/November about him about to sign a new contract, but nothing came of it, the latest quote regarding it I can find is this :

Dries Mertens admits he's not yet settled on a new deal with Napoli.
The Belgian is now inside the final 18 months of his current deal.
Il Mattino quotes Mertens as saying “there's nothing yet" regarding his new contract talks.
The attacker has scored 15 goals already this season.

Dries Mertens's Style of Play

• Counter attack threat
• Likes to cut inside
• Likes to do layoffs
• Likes to dribble
• Likes to cross

Sadly fails the midget check at 5foot 7, but magic has no height limit.

Plays all along the front, both wings and up top, he is right footed.

Also we have ZERO chance of VVD.

But I admire the will.

I really cannot see a player like Mertens coming to Everton yet. He is some classes above our players.
If he did it would really be a sign to other players out there we mean business!!! So go get him.
