Everton will need to improve their defensive unit this summer and newly appointed manager Rafa Benitez is already working towards that. According to Fichajes, the Spaniard has urged the Merseyside club to make a move for the Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet. The Frenchman has had a mixed time at Camp Nou and his performances have not been too convincing since joining the club. The Spanish outfit are under financial stress right now and it wouldn’t be surprising if they were open to selling the centre back this summer. Apparently, Benitez is confident that he can help the Frenchman regain his best form and the Toffees could take advantage of Barcelona’s financial situation and try to sign the player on a bargain. The report further states that Benitez does not trust Yerry Mina and he cons...

However, Everton have joined the race as well and they are ready to offer a...

The 25-year-old right-back did well in the European Championships with this country and he could prove to be the ideal long-term replacement for Seamus Coleman. The right-back position needs strengthening this summer and it remains to be seen whether the Toffees can convince PSV Eindhoven to sell the defender to them. They are not the only club looking to sign Dumfries this summer and Italian champions Inter Milan are in talks with the player’s agent as well (via Sportwitness). The 25-year-old right-back is a reliable defender and he can chip in with vital goals as well. The Toffees must...

According to Calciomercato, the two Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on the 26-year-old and there have been inquiries from the likes of Inter Milan, Roma, AC Milan and Lazio as well. Everton are in desperate need of a goal-keeping upgrade and Gollini would be a quality addition for them. England international Jordan Pickford has been quite error-prone for the Toffees and they will have to bring in an upgrade if they want to challenge for European qualification next season. As far as Tottenham are concerned, Hugo Lloris is nearing the end of his deal and the Londoners will have to start planning for a future without him. Gollini has done well for the Italian outfit this past season...

Everton and West Ham United are thought to be interested in signing the Benfica striker Haris Seferovic. According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, the two Premier League clubs have been in touch regarding a summer transfer and they could come forward with a concrete offer soon. The 29-year-old had an impressive season with Benfica last year and he managed to score 26 goals and pick up seven assists across all competitions.

Everton want to sign Real Madrid star Isco, with new manager Rafa Benitez clearly on the lookout for an established number 10. The Toffees have already been linked with a move to bring Philippe Coutinho back to Merseyside, but Fichajes reckon that Benitez has switched his attention to Isco. The 29-year-old Spaniard has enjoyed some great times at the Santiago Bernabeu, although he has never quite lived up to expectations. Everton signing Isco could make perfect sense The Madrid star moving to Goodison Park this summer is certainly a viable transfer. Carlo Ancelotti said back in November that he had no interest in signing Isco when he was Everton manager (Daily Mail). So it is doubtful that the Italian envisages a key role for Isco now he has been appointed as Madrid’s new boss. The Sp...

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the player could cost around €40 million. Leverkusen paid around €28 million for the striker last summer and it is understandable why they would look to make a considerable profit on him. Spurs ne...
