Report: 25-year-old star has discussed Everton move with Carlo Ancelotti
Adrien Rabiot joined Serie A giants Juventus during the summer transfer window but it seems he is already frustrated with life in Italy.

When he was at Paris Saint-Germain, he was always linked with a move away from the French giants. Eventually, he joined Juventus on a free transfer. He is unhappy again. Reports from Italy claimed earlier this week that he has gone on strike at Juventus. With the club set to return to training, he has refused to return to Italy as he is disappointed with the club’s slashing of his wages as part of a response to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the French media has refuted some claims. According to reports from Foot Mercato, R...

Report: Everton keen on 8-goal midfielder but Chelsea could complicate the deal
Everton are thought to be keen on signing the Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga. According to Il Messaggero (via Sportwitness), Roma, Napoli and Brighton are keen on the player as well. It will be interesting to see if Everton make their move for the winger this summer. Carlo Ancelotti could use some more wide options given the fact that Walcott is past his peak and the likes of Iwobi and Bernard are lacking in end product. Boga has done well in Serie A and he could prove to be a decent addition to the Everton attack. He has 8 goals and 2 assists in the Serie A so far and he can play in a number of positions. The 23-year-old can play behind the striker as well as in the wide areas. His versatility will be an added bonus for Ancelotti and Everton. The former Chelsea player might be tempted to re...

According to The Athletic’s Patrick Boyland, Everton want a central midfielder with an energetic presence who is as capable on the ball as off it this summer, and they have identified Southampton’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as a target.
