Besiktas defender Domagoj Vida has been making quite a name for himself at the World Cup.
The Black Eagles snapped Vida up on a free transfer from Dynamo Kiev in January but few could have envisioned he would be playing in the World Cup final just a few months later.
Vida has seen his value skyrocket and the Turkish media have linked him with half the Premier League.
With reports of new offers being made daily we take a look at the first club to express an interest this summer.
Turkish-Football reported at the start of the tournament that the Toffees were keen on the 29-year-old.
After another impressive display in the semi-final victory over England we took a look at how Everton fans reacted to his display.

Everton fans appeared pretty convinced Vida would make for a solid transfer.
Tough to take – need to snatch that Vida, absolute quality tonight!

Give me Vida and Mina at the back and I’ll be happy. Defence sorted. #EFC

This is what Besiktas are banking on. The Black Eagles could stand to make a healthy profit should they sell the defender.
Vida is gonna cost a fortune is he wins the world cup

Could his hair cost him a transfer?
I agree on all accounts. I never got behind the Rose links for the very reason you mentioned… his age. Same goes for Nzonzi. I’m not sold on Vida, but it may be because of his hair. ? I still would like to see Batshuayi at Everton. Could he play in a two striker system?

If Vida signs for Everton he’d better get rid of that Geralt of Rivia thing on his head.
