Journalist claims Everton could cash in on 19-goal player for a fee of around €45-50m
Everton are prepared to cash in on the Italian striker Moise Kean this summer. The 21-year-old has been on loan at Paris Saint-Germain this season after failing to make his mark in English football last year. Kean has been an exceptional signing for PSG on a loan deal and he has scored 19 goals in all competitions for the French outfit. The striker has been linked with the likes of Juventus and PSG in recent months and it remains to be seen where he ends up. It is highly unlikely that the player will return to Everton for the next season. He is clearly not a key part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans and he will struggle to hold down a regular starting berth at Goodison Park with the likes of Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of him in the pecking order. Kean needs to move to a club whe...
Arsenal’s stunners and that Gerrard goal: the best FA Cup final goals of the 2000s
The FA Cup final is one of the highlights of the English football calendar. It’s the world’s oldest football competition and has produced several incredible moments – from the endless amount of giant killings to those big days out at Wembley Stadium. Some argue that it has lost its magic over the years, but Saturday’s clash between Leicester City and Chelsea proved otherwise. With fans back in attendance for the first time in ages, the Foxes emerged victorious after one moment of magic (and a little bit of controversy). But it wasn’t the first time we’ve seen a screamer in the FA Cup final. Here are some more just from the turn of the millennium. Youri Tielemans – Leicester City 1-0 Chelsea [embedded content] With all the hysteria of the last 30 minutes, it’s easy to forget just how dull t...
Everton open to selling Mason Holgate to part-fund deal for £43m-rated centre-back – report
Everton could sanction the sale of Mason Holgate this summer to part-fund the transfer of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, Football Insider reports. The Toffees have been impressive in Carlo Ancelotti’s first full season in charge, but their home form has cost them a top-four push. Their defensive performances at Goodison Park have been questionable, and the Italian may look to upgrade his options ahead of next season. It is now reported that the Toffees are open to parting company with Holgate, who only signed a five-year deal with the club last year. Ancelotti has not been fully convinced by the Barnsley graduate, and the club are lining up a top-class centre-back to replace him. Kalidou Koulibaly is reportedly the top target for Ancelotti, and part of the funds for the transfer could ...

Madrid president Florentino Perez has Ancelotti, Raul and Max Allegri on his list of Zidane’s replacement, but whether the Everton boss would be open to a return remains to be seen. The 61-year-old led the 13-time Champions League winners to their 10th European title in 2014, leaving them the following season after a trophyless campaign. Los Blancos won the Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup under Ancelotti in 2014, and he is sti...

Aston Villa have been linked with Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa ahead of the summer transfer window. The defensive powerhouse is set to leave Craven Cottage at the end of the campaign after their relegation to the Championship, and there would not be shortage of suitors for his signature. Arsenal and Everton are also keen on Anguissa who has proven himself as one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the bottom half of the table, and more clubs will likely join them and Villa in the coming weeks. Dean Smith’s side could do with more verve in the middle of the park, and the Cameroonian definitely has what it takes to be a quality addition to the squad.

Premier League duo Arsenal and Aston Villa have joined Everton in tracking Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa, who could be available this summer. The Cameroon international has played 33 games during the campaign, impressing in both offensive and defensive phases of play.

The Mail have now backed that up in a separate report but have also suggested that Arsenal and Aston Villa are monitoring Anguissa’s situation.

Everton reportedly want England international midfielder on Man Utd’s radar
According to Sportsmail, Everton have shown an interest in signing Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles this summer, but they view him as a right-back. The Toffees want to bring in another player in the position with Seamus Coleman already in the twilight of his career. Everton have been linked with Norwich City right-back Max Aarons, but recent reports claim they no longer see the player as an option as he does not fit the profile they are looking for. Atletico Madrid star and England international right-back Kieran Trippier has also been linked with a move to Goodison Park, but landing him this summer will not come easy.

Juventus eyeing up return for former striker if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves
Juventus have set their sights on two strikers in case star man Cristiano Ronaldo departs this summer. Ronaldo came to Juventus in the summer transfer window of 2018 for a club-record fee of €100 million. 33-years-old at the time, it was hoped that the Portuguese would be the man to bring them to European glory, having not lifted the Champions League trophy since 1996. On an individual level, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been a smashing success in Turin. He is just one goal short of the century mark for the Old Lady, having made 130 appearances in all competitions. As things stand, he leads the Serie A Golden Boot race with 27 – six more than Romelu Lukaku, Dusan Vlahovic and Luis Muriel in joint second. Ronaldo is on the verge of hitting the 100-mark at his third club In contrast,...
Leeds reportedly looking to pip Bayern & Ancelotti to winger compared to Arjen Robben after scouting trips
Everton and Leeds United are keen on signing Wolfsburg winger Josip Brekalo this summer, according to Express Sports. The Croatian international has been in fine form in the Bundesliga this term, scoring seven goals and assisting three more in 28 league games. Bayern Munich and Napoli are also keen on the 22-year-old who has been compared with Dutchman Arjen Robben due to his style of play. Brekalo loves to cut inside and shoot from distance, and defending against him on his day does not yield a lot of success. Liverpool have also been linked with the Wolfsburg star, but it is Leeds and Everton that have run the rule over him in the past few months. Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa wants to bolster his attack and has already been linked with a renewed interest in Rangers winger Ryan Kent. ...
‘It was frustrating’ – Everton striker opens up on failed Man Utd move
Everton striker Joshua King is yet to start a game since arriving at Goodison Park from Bournemouth in January. The 29-year-old joined the Toffees on loan until the end of the season and has featured in just 11 Premier League games – all off the bench. King won’t join Everton permanently at the end of the season, but he might have been playing for Manchester United had Bournemouth not blocked a move last January. Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needed a cover for an injured Marcus Rashford and was keen on bringing his fellow Norwegian back to Old Trafford. However, the Cherries blocked the move as they wanted him around to boost their survival chances. King’s six goals and four assists in 26 Premier League games were not enough to keep Bournemouth up, and the player struggled in the f...
