John Barnes has shared his doubts over one Everton summer signing
John Barnes suggested on Bonus Code Bets that James Rodriguez could struggle for Everton in the Premier League. The former Liverpool star has spoken highly of James’s technical ability, but he is not convinced that the Colombia international can succeed in the top flight of English football, at least in his first season. Everton recently signed the 29-year-old – who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger – from Spanish and European giants Real Madrid. Banes said about James on Bonus Code Bets: “He is technically very good, but the physicality of the Premier League is a tough adjustment for attacking midfield players, it might be too much for him in his first season. “Players like himself, although tactically brilliant, lack in strength and physicality which may make t...
Report: Everton make contact regarding 23-yr-old attacker, face competition from West Ham
Everton and West Ham are thought to be keen on the Gremio winger Pepe. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Wolves as well and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. The Brazilian side have just lost Everton Soares this summer and they might not be keen on selling another winger. It remains to be seen whether the Premier League trio can come forward with a convincing offer. Everton and West Ham have initiated contact with the Brazilian club regarding a potential transfer and Gremio are thought to be holding out for a fee of around €20-25m as per reports (h/t Sportwitness). Everton have signed James Rodriguez to improve their attacking unit but they need to add some pace and flair to the wide areas as well. The likes of Walcott are simply not good enough a...
Report: Everton make contact with PL giants regarding a move for 22-yr-old
Everton are looking to improve their defensive options before the transfer window closes. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Toffees have asked Chelsea about Fikayo Tomori. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Chelsea to sell/loan the player to them this summer. Tomori is a talented young player who needs to play more often and a loan deal could be ideal for him. Chelsea have signed Thiago Silva and Tomori has fallen further down the pecking order. Sending him out on loan would be a wise move from the Blues. The 22-year-old made just 15 Premier League appearances for Chelsea last season. Tomori could be a useful option for Everton and he will add some much needed defensive depth to the side. Working with a world-class manager like Carlo Ancelotti will help the young defender i...
Everton in ‘pole position’ to sign Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori
Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is reportedly close to making a loan move to Everton following his breakthrough campaign in the Premier League. After loan spells at Brighton and Hull, Tomori impressed as he spent the 2018/19 season at Derby County, featuring in 55 games in all competitions for then Rams boss Frank Lampard. Lampard would go on to return to his spiritual home at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Maurizio Sarri to Juventus, the club legend not showing any fear in handing a number of opportunities to a number of young players. While Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount were instantly thrust into the Chelsea side by Lampard, Tomori would be handed his chance in the fourth game of the season after the Blues sluggish start to the season, having conceded seven goals in the openin...

Report: Everton closing in on another signing, 27-yr-old’s move will be announced today
Everton are closing in the signing of Abdoulaye Doucoure from Watford.
