Sky claims Everton are going to make an announcement today
According to Sky Sports (Transfer Live blog, 11:18am, October 3, 2020), Norwich City central defender Ben Godfrey has passed his medical at Everton. It has been reported that Premier League club Everton will announce the signing of the central defender from Championship club Norwich today. Earlier this week, BBC Sport reported that Everton have agreed a £25 million fee with Norwich over the transfer of the 22-year-old central defender. Would Ben Godfrey be a good signing for Everton? Godfrey is a very good and talented young central defender who did well for Norwich in the Premier League last season. The 22-year-old will make the Toffees a better team defensively not just right now, but for years to come. Under manager Carlo Ancelotti, the England Under-21 international will improve and ad...
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers reportedly want a midfielder ‘who can do everything’
Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers are interested in signing Muhamed Besic from Everton in the summer transfer window, according to Sportske.ba. It has been reported that Rangers are planning to make a move for the 28-year-old defensive midfielder before the window closes on Monday. The report has added that Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has told the Bosnia and Herzegovina international that he is not in his plans for this season. Everton spell Besic has been on the books of Everton since 2014 when he joined from Ferencvaros. The 28-year-old defensive midfielder was expected to be a big success at Goodison Park, but he has failed to establish himself as a key figure in the team. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international defensive midfielder was on loan at Middlesbrough during the second hal...
Everton agree £25m signing, some of their fans react: ‘Great purchase’, ‘We are really on it’
Everton have agreed on a fee with Norwich for Ben Godfrey. According to Paul Joyce from The Times, the Toffees will pay £25m plus add ons for the Norwich City defender. Godfrey is highly rated in England and he should prove to be a quality long-term signing for Everton. The Merseyside outfit needed to bring in a centre back and they have been linked with the likes of Tomori and Zouma. Everton tried to sign Gabriel Magalhaes at the start of the window as well. Godfrey is strong and athletic. He is also very accomplished on the ball. The 22-year-old will help Everton build from the back. Furthermore, he can play as a defensive midfielder if needed. His versatility will be an added bonus for the Toffees. Although the price might seem steep for now, Godfrey has the talent and potential to...

‘Marcel Brands loves him’: Some Everton fans react after knowing who Ancelotti wants next
Everton fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Ben Godfrey. According to reports from Sky Sports, the Toffees have made an enquiry about signing Norwich defender Godfrey. This has been a brilliant transfer window for Everton with Carlo Ancelotti bringing in three quality players in the form of Allan, James Rodriguez, and Abdoulaye Doucoure. However, the Toffees are still looking for more additions, with the Merseyside club keen to sign a centre-back and a striker to their ranks. Everton have been linked with a move for Fiyako Tomori this summer, but it seems Chelsea are reluctant to send him out on loan. As a result, the Toffees have turned their attention elsewhere, and have earmarked Godfrey as a potential o...
Report: Everton have now made first bid to sign 22-year-old…more than club’s asking price
According to reports from The Telegraph, Everton have made a bid worth £26million for Norwich City’s Ben Godfrey. The Toffees are heavily interested in signing Fikayo Tomori, but they fear the 22-year-old won’t be allowed to leave on loan. As a result, they have lined up Godfrey as a replacement and have made an opening bid to sign the Norwich centre-back. The report claims that the Toffees have made an offer to Norwich, worth an initial £20m, plus £6m in add ons, for Godfrey. Earlier today Sky Sports claimed that Everton made an enquiry about the availability of the defender where they were told he would cost around £25m. Therefore, the latest offer from Everton looks good enough for consideration. Tomori has emerged as Everton’s first choice but negotiations over a season-...
Report: Everton now leading the race to sign £18m star…despite interest from PL rival
Everton are leading the race to sign Jean-Clair Todibo, according to reports from Le 10 Sport. A host of clubs including Napoli and Fulham have shown interest in Todibo. But it seems the Toffees are leading the way for his signature. Todibo has been made available to loan by Barcelona, and it seems that Everton are pushing hard to secure his signature before the end of the transfer window. This has been an excellent transfer window for the Toffees, with Carlo Ancelotti bolstering the midfield with the signings of Allan, James Rodriguez, and Abdoulaye Doucoure. Everton have still not brought in the centre-back they badly need. They were heavily linked with Gabriel this summer but the Brazilian joined Arsenal instead. The Toffees were interested to sign Fikayo Tomori, but he ...
Reliable journalist confirms Everton have held talks with PL giants regarding 22-yr-old
Everton have had an impressive transfer window so far but their business is not over yet. According to David Ornstein from the Athletic, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have held talks with Chelsea regarding a move for Fikayo Tomori. The 22-year-old centre back has been linked with a move away from Chelsea and it will be interesting to see if Everton can sign him before the transfer window closes. It is no secret that Carlo Ancelotti needs to add more defensive depth to his side and the Chelsea defender could prove to be an ideal addition. Tomori needs to play regularly in order to fulfil his potential as well and a loan move to Everton could be perfect for his development. It could be a deal that benefits all parties. Apparently, Lampard rates the young defender highly and he wants to keep Tomori ...
Report: Talks ongoing between Everton & EPL giants for 25y/o star on Leicester radar
According to Le10sport, Everton are keen on bringing Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma back to Goodison Park on a permanent basis before the end of the summer transfer window. Discussions between all parties are ongoing, but the Toffees will need to part with around £36.5 million to have a chance of convincing the Stamford Bridge outfit into parting with the Frenchman. Zouma spent the 2018-19 season on loan at Everton, featuring in 32 league games and while manager Carlo Ancelotti wasn’t in charge at the time, the Italian wants him in his squad. Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for the 25-year-old having brought in Thiago Silva from Paris Saint-Germain, and the Frenchman isn’t short of suitors with Leicester City also keen. Injuries to Jarrad Branthwaite and Mason Holgate have dealt a ...
Report: Leicester keen on signing 23-yr-old but face competition from Everton
Leicester City are keen on signing the Torino centre back Gleison Bremer this summer. The 23-year-old has done well for the Italian outfit and he could prove to be a solid investment for Rodgers and Leicester City. The Foxes need to bring in a quality long-term partner for Soyuncu and Bremer certainly fits the profile. Leicester have been linked with Wesley Fofana and James Tarkowski as well this summer. According to Football Insider, Everton want to sign the 23-year-old as well and it will be interesting to see where Bremer ends up. Both clubs need to add more defensive depth and they have the means to pull off the transfer. Furthermore, both have started the season impressively and there is no reason why they cannot challenge for European qualification this year. Bremer is likely to get ...
Report: Everton could sell ‘outstanding’ player who has zero PL appearance this season
Everton could reportedly offload Jonjoe Kenny in the summer transfer window. According to reports from The Sun (printed edition, page 61), the Toffees are looking to offload the 23-year-old defender. Kenny, who impressed heavily on loan last season at Schalke, is yet to start a single Premier League game this season and has been only used in cup games. The report claims that Everton could be willing to sell the homegrown right-back for £10m. German giants Schalke are keen to sign him on loan again, but Everton are only interested in securing a permanent deal for the right-back. Kenny impressed heavily on loan at Schalke, and he was hailed as ‘outstanding’ by Austrian striker Guido Burgstaller last season. Everton have bolstered their midfield this summer, and the Toffees must loo...
