Everton given injury boost regarding Jean-Philippe Gbamin
Everton have been handed an injury boost with the news that midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin is on track to return for pre-season training this summer.

It was confirmed following the injury that Gbamin would not need surgery, but doubts were still cast about when he would be back. Now, a report from the Liverpool Echo has suggested that the player remains confident he will be available for selection during pre-season training. That w...
Everton looking to bring 31-yr-old back to the Premier League this summer
Everton are thought to be looking at a goalkeeper this summer and TuttoJuve are reporting that they could make a move for the Juventus shot-stopper Wojciech Szczesny.

Who is to blame at Everton: Carlo Ancelotti or the players?
Everton’s 2-1 loss to Aston Villa has Toffees fans questioning where the club go from here, with some starting to point the finger at Carlo Ancelotti. Despite still being in the race for European football, one win in eight league games (Everton are 16th in the Premier League form table) does not inspire confidence as we head into the final five matches. Even more worrying is Everton’s form at Goodison Park, with the Blues securing just five wins in 17 games at their historic home. After yet another disappointing home result on Saturday, fans are now starting to question who is to blame. How much blame should Ancelotti shoulder? Everton fan Matt Jones started a debate on Saturday evening, suggesting that Ancelotti does not know how to set up ‘a winning team that plays on the front foot’. Se...
‘Form is temporary, class is permanent’ – Some Villa fans hail 27-yr-old’s display vs Everton
Aston Villa picked up an impressive 2-1 win over Everton in the Premier League last night. A late goal from Anwar El Ghazi was enough to hand the visitors a much-needed three points.

However, the attacking midfielder showed his quality against Everton, and the fans will be hoping that Barkley can build on this performance. With Jack Grealish still sidelined, Barkley took on the creative r...
