Report: West Ham and Everton join the race to sign 26-yr-old World Cup winner
West Ham and Everton are thought to be keen on signing the Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti. The 26-year-old World Cup winner has had a tough time at Barcelona and he has struggled to showcase his true potential so far. His time at the club has been hampered by injuries. According to reports (via Daily Mail), a loan move could be on the cards this summer. However, the player wants to stay at Camp Nou and prove himself. It will be interesting to see if Everton or West Ham can convince him to join them. Umtiti needs regular game time and a move to Everton or West Ham could give him the opportunity and platform he needs. Also, someone like Ancelotti could unlock his potential and kick-start his career. The French international was a world-class talent before his move to Barcelona and he could...
Report: Everton have told £29m signing they are counting on him for next season
Everton will not play in Europe next season after failing to be consistent this term, and manager Carlo Ancelotti will hope he can lead his side to a top-six finish next term. The Toffees will have to significantly improve at both ends of the pitch, and while another centre-back is on their radar, the club aren’t particularly and actively looking to bring in a striker. Ancelotti has faith in Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Moise Kean is expected to continue to provide quality cover and competition. According to The Athletic’s Patrick Boyland, Everton have told the 20-year-old that they are counting on him for next season, and they are still confident that he can come good going forward. The Italian international arrived at Goodison Park from Juventus for an initial £29 mill...
Manchester United eye €25 million Ligue 1 star to bolster defence
According to the Daily Record, Manchester United have entered the race to sign Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes. The Red Devils invested heavily in shoring up the defence by bringing in Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka last season. Despite the improvement shown, there are still issues to be ironed out. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now considering adding the Lille star to his United roster. The Brazilian is valued at a modest €25m. Competition for the 22-year-old will be high with the likes of Everton, Napoli, and Inter Milan all keen. According to the report, Napoli see the young Samba star as a replacement for defensive lynchpin Kalidou Koulibaly – another player United are interested in. The fact that they view him capable of replacing the Senegalese is a testament to the promise he has sh...
Report: Leeds plotting move to sign £70k-per-week Everton target
According to reports from ESPN, Leeds United and Everton are interested in signing Sergio Romero in the summer transfer window. Leeds are preparing their first season in the Premier League after a gap of 16 years, and they are expected to bolster their squad in the summer. Everton, likewise, are looking to sign a solid goalkeeper who can provide competition to Jordan Pickford. Leeds have signed Illan Meslier on a permanent deal from Lorient. However, Marcelo Bielsa could still be looking to sign an experienced goalkeeper, especially if they allow Kiko Casilla to leave. Romero, who joined Manchester United on a free transfer in 2015, has kept 38 clean sheets in 59 matches for the Red Devils. The Argentine goalkeeper has been used mostly as a back-up keeper behind David De Gea...
Report: Everton and Newcastle join the race to sign 25-yr-old, club ready to listen to offers
Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has been linked with a move away from the Italian club for a while now. As per Calciomercato, Everton and Newcastle are interested in the player along with Manchester United. Rabiot is not a key player for Juventus and he needs to leave in order to play week in week out. A move to Everton or Newcastle could be ideal for him. The 25-year-old has made just 19 starts in Serie A so far this season. Both clubs could use someone like Rabiot in their midfield. Everton have already bid for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but the Saints midfielder prefers to join Spurs. Rabiot could be his alternative for the Toffees. Carlo Ancelotti has worked with the Frenchman at PSG and he will know all about the player’s strengths and weaknesses. He could be the man to unlock Rabiot’s p...
Report: Player leaving Liverpool wanted by manager to replace Everton-bound midfielder
According to The Express, Southampton are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana as a replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is on his way to Everton. It has been reported that Denmark international midfielder Hojbjerg will join Everton from Premier League rivals Southampton in the summer transfer window for a fee of £25 million. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has reportedly identified Lallana as a replacement, with the England international midfielder becoming a free agent at the end of the month when his current contract with Liverpool runs out. Return to Southampton? Lallana came through the youth system at Southampton and was hugely successful in the first team before earning the big move to Liverpool in 2014.

Report: Everton looking to raid Spanish outfit for 23-yr-old, Arsenal linked as well
Everton are interested in the Espanyol midfielder Marc Roca if reports are to be believed. As per Sport (via Sportwitness), the Merseyside outfit are keeping tabs on the player following Morgan Schneiderlin’s departure and Gbamin’s injury blow. It will be interesting to see if they make their move for Roca in the coming weeks. Espanyol have been relegated from La Liga and they will have to cash in on some of their players to balance the books. A reasonable offer might be enough to tempt them into selling the 23-year-old defensive midfielder. Despite relegation, Roca has been one of Espanyol’s best players this past season and he could be a good addition to Ancelotti’s midfield. He will add composure and defensive cover to the side. The 23-year-old is an excellent passer and his abilit...
Report: Spurs ‘expected to increase’ their bid for £25m star…but there’s a catch
Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton in the transfer window. It seems Everton are still leading the race for his signature. According to an exclusive report from the Daily Echo, Hojbjerg has visited Everton’s training ground and has agreed personal terms with the Toffees. The report claims that Southampton have accepted Everton’s offer of £25m for the midfielder. Everton had submitted a £20m offer earlier this week but it was turned down by the Saints. That means, after rejecting two previous bids from the Toffees, Southampton have finally accepted their third offer. The report claims that although the deal is yet to be finalised, it is getting closer to be completed. However, there could be a late twis...
Report: Everton could reignite interest in 28-yr-old January target this summer
Everton are keen on signing the Inter Milan midfielder Matis Vecino this summer. The player was linked with the move to Goodison Park during the January transfer window as well but the move never materialised. It will be interesting to see if Everton can sign their man this time. The Toffees are looking to bring in a central midfielder this summer and they have been linked with the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as well. Vecino is another option for them (Tuttosport via Sportwitness). Vecino would perhaps be a cheaper alternative to the Southampton star. It remains to be seen whether Carlo Ancelotti makes a move for the Uruguayan. Vecino is set for surgery on his knee now and his recovery could be key to any future move. He could be a decent option for Everton next season. The 28-year...

Report: Everton expected to submit offer for 10-goal attacker in the coming months
Everton have been linked with a move for Saint-Étienne’s Denis Bouanga for a while now. The winger has done well in Ligue 1 this past season and Carlo Ancelotti is thought to be keen on him. As per Le10sport, Valencia are interested in the player as well. Everton are expected to make an offer for the player in the coming months. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can agree on a fee for Bouanga. The 25-year-old will add goals and creativity to Ancelotti’s team if he joins them next season.

Bouanga bagged 10 goals and 3 assists this past season and those numbers could improve when he is playing with better players at Everton. I...
