Everton have been in talks with 23-yr-old’s agents, Toffees weighing up a bid now
Everton have been linked with a move for the Juventus defender Merih Demiral in recent weeks and it appears that the player’s agents have been in talks with the Premier League club for weeks now. According to Corriere Torino (via Sportwitness), the 23-year-old Turkish defender will be up for sale this summer and the Toffees are weighing up a bid of around €25-30 million for him. Apparently, Juventus are hoping to recoup as much as possible for the young centre half because of the interest in him this summer. The likes of Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are thought to be keeping tabs on the player as well. However, Demiral will wait until after the Euros before making a concrete decision on his future. The 23-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he could prove to be a superb lon...
Predicted Aston Villa XI vs Everton: Smith to make three changes, 23-yr-old to start
Aston Villa face Everton in the Premier League this weekend, and they will be desperate to bounce back from their abysmal run of form with a victory at Goodison Park. Villa have won just one of their last six league matches, and manager Dean Smith is under pressure to turn their form around. Everton have an excellent recent home record against Villa, racking up a nine-game unbeaten run on their own patch. The Toffees head into this game on the back of a win against Arsenal, and they will be full of confidence here. That said, Carlo Ancelotti’s men aren’t exactly in great form. Before their victory over Arsenal, they failed to win five Premier League games in a row. However, they will be confident of beating a Villa team that is shorn of the services of Trezeguet, Morgan Sanson and Jack Gre...
Chelsea reportedly join the race to sign in-demand £17m Everton target
Chelsea have reportedly joined the race to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot this summer. According to reports from Calciomercato, the Blues are showing interest in the French midfielder. La Liga giants, Barcelona, are also keen to sign him. Rabiot, who joined Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 on a free transfer, has done well this season for the Old Lady, managing three goals in 41 appearances in all competitions. Juventus are looking to offload some of their players to recoup funds, and they are considering his sale. Rabiot’s mother and agent Veronique has reportedly made contact with Barcelona, but the Catalan giants are yet to decide on a possible move. The report now claims that Chelsea have joined the race as well to sign the 26-year-old defensive midfielder, ...
Tottenham keen on signing 23-yr-old but face competition from PL rivals
Juventus defender Merih Demiral has been linked with a move away from Italy this summer and the likes of Everton and Tottenham have been named as potential destinations. According to TuttoJuve, the two Premier League clubs are the main contenders to sign the 23-year-old centre back. Demiral has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Juventus due to niggling injuries this season. It will be interesting to see if the Italian giants are willing to sanction his departure in the summer. The Turkish defender is highly rated at the Italian club and he has a massive future ahead of him. Selling him now could prove to be a mistake for Juventus. He could form a long-term partnership at the back alongside Matthijs de Ligt. There is no doubt that the likes of Spurs and Everton could use a ...
West Ham could move for potential free agent this summer
West Ham could make a move for Everton forward Joshua King this summer, with his short-term due to expire at the end of the campaign. King signed for Everton on a short-term deal during the January transfer window but has hardly featured for the Toffees. The Norwegian attacker has made nine Premier League appearances but they only amount to 123 minutes of football, with King still waiting on his first Everton start. As a result, King’s future is in doubt, with Everton needing to make a decision over his future ahead of the summer. King will also be wary that he may not get much playing time if he remains at Everton, and could look elsewhere for minutes on the pitch. Now, West Ham could reportedly make a move for King this summer, according to TalkSPORT reporter Alex Crook. “West Ham have g...
Everton turn attention away from Max Aarons as player does not fit right profile
Everton are looking at alternatives to previously-linked defender Max Aarons, amid suggestions he does not fit the profile they are looking for. The Toffees have required a new right-back for some time now, with Seamus Coleman turning 32 in October. Jonjoe Kenny was expected to step into the role but has failed to meet expectations and could leave Everton this summer. Mason Holgate has often been preferred to Coleman in that position, despite being a central defender by trade. Aarons has recently been linked with a move to Goodison Park, with suggestions that the Toffees are leading the race to sign him this summer. Now, Liverpool Echo reporter Phil Kirkbride has suggested in a Q&A session that Everton have turned their attention elsewhere. Responding to one fan, Kirkbride said that ‘o...
England international star reportedly offered to Everton ahead of summer transfer window
According to Sportsmail, Everton have been offered Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier ahead of the summer transfer window. Manager Carlo Ancelotti wants to bolster the position ahead of the new season with Seamus Coleman already in the twilight of his career. While the Toffees have been linked with Norwich City right-back Max Aarons, latest reports claim they no longer see the player as an option as he does not fit the profile they are looking for. Everton are looking at other options, and it will be interesting to see whether they will attempt to land Trippier. The England international left Tottenham Hotspur for Atletico in the summer of 2019, and he has since weighed in with 10 La Liga assists in 48 games. The 30-year-old has been very crucial as Diego Simeone’s side look to win...
Everton reportedly want £146m Brazilian attacking midfielder this summer
According to Tz (via Marca), Everton are willing to make an offer of €40 million to sign Barcelona attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho this summer. The Brazil international is currently on the sidelines due to an injury he sustained in December, and while he was in manager Ronald Koeman’s plans during the first-half of the campaign, the club’s financial struggles could see them decide to cash in on him. The former Liverpool star joined Barcelona in January 2018 for £146 million but has been largely underwhelming, spending last season on loan at Bayern Munich. Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti wants to further strengthen his squad this summer after making some marquee signings last summer, and it appears that he is keen on Coutinho. The 28-year-old was one of the best players in the Premie...
Carlo Ancelotti claims Everton defender has lifetime contract at the club
Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Everton captain Seamus Coleman’s contract at the Toffees is ‘forever’, with his current deal set to expire next year. Coleman signed for Everton in 2009 from Sligo Rovers, for his famous £60,000 transfer fee. Since then, the Irishman has made 345 appearances for the Toffees, scoring 26 goals and assisting 31. Despite being the club captain, Coleman has only featured 26 times for Everton across all competitions this season. Mason Holgate has been preferred by Carlo Ancelotti on a number of occasions this season, and Coleman’s place is further threatened by rumours of a move for Norwich’s Max Aarons. Despite that, Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that Coleman has a lifetime contract at the Toffees, and can stay ‘forever’. “I don’t think we have to talk ab...

Harry Kane to decide on Tottenham future
Embattled Harry Kane is set to decide on his Tottenham Hotspur’s future. The England and Tottenham star is quite rightly regarded as one of the best forwards in English football. But he remains trophyless in his career so far, with the latest opportunity passing him and Spurs by in a 1-0 defeat against Manchester City in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. Kane’s fitness was a huge topic of conversation ahead of the Wembley showdown after he picked up an ankle injury in a 2-2 draw at Everton last weekend. Despite that Kane was included in interim boss Ryan Mason’s starting XI – but like the rest of his Spurs teammates failed to have any sort of impact on proceedings. Remarkably, Kane didn’t attempt a shot or create a single chance for Spurs in Sunday’s final. That’s the first time he’s done neithe...
Rangers reportedly eyeing winger Bielsa & Everton are keeping tabs on
According to TEAMtalk, Premier League quartet Leeds United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton and Leicester City and Scottish Premiership champions Rangers have all watched Young Boys winger Moumi Ngamaleu ahead of potential moves this summer. The 26-year-old plays predominantly on the left but can also play on the right, and has been a key player as the Swiss outfit continue to dominate the Super League. Leeds are in the market for a winger, and head coach Marcelo Bielsa has reignited interest in Rangers star Ryan Kent. The Elland Road outfit are preparing a £15 million bid for the Light Blues attacker this summer, but manager Steven Gerrard is not likely to sanction a sale. Leeds might have to settle for Ngamaleu in the end, and the Cameroon international’s versatility could come in ha...
