Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.

The player has struggled for regular opportunities at Real Madrid, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. The 23-year-old central defender has now emerged as a target for Everton and West Ham United, according to reports from Spain.

Both teams have looked vulnerable defensively, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. Asencio could prove to be an excellent long-term acquisition for them. He’s a talented player with a bright future, and regular football in England could bring out the best in him.

The two Premier League clubs are in the best position to secure his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done. Real Madrid is prepared to let go of the defender in the summer. They are looking to free up space in the squad so that they can bring in the necessary additions in the summer.

It will be interesting to see whether the two Premier League clubs decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign Asencio. He could be available for a reasonable fee, given his situation at Real Madrid. The Spanish outfit will not want to jeopardise his chances of securing a move by demanding a premium.

Everton and West Ham could be the ideal stepping stones for the young defender. If he manages to impress with either of the two clubs, he might be able to secure a bigger move in future.
