Report: Ancelotti wants Everton to sign Uruguay international striker
According to The Daily Telegraph, Everton have made enquiries about signing Valencia striker Maxi Gomez this summer. Manager Carlo Ancelotti wants an out-and-out striker and is interested in working with the Uruguay international. Gomez joined Valencia last summer from Celta Vigo for £13 million, but he is expected to cost less as the La Liga side look to cut costs by trimming their squad. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Moise Kean are Everton’s current out-and-out strikers, while Richarlison can also play in the position. However, Ancelotti wants to boost his options in attack, and the chance to sign Gomez on the cheap is tempting. The 24-year-old was linked with West Ham United last summer, and he could finally move to the Premier League in the coming weeks. The Uruguayan scored 10 goals and a...

Report: Everton keen on signing former Man City player on a bargain this summer
Everton have been linked with a move for the La Liga goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli as per El desmarque.

The England international was brought into the club with great expectations but he has been very poor over the last couple of seasons. He will have to improve dramatically in order to hold onto his starting berth next season. Everton have had an impressive transfer...
