Portuguese manager Pedro Caixinha thinks Raul Jimenez will leave Wolves in order to join a bigger club in future. He said to TUDN (via Sportwitness): “He’s going to leave Wolves to go one step higher and he’s going to continue with that ambition. It’s what I’d like to see in other Mexican players who have a lot of quality.” The Mexican has been outstanding for Wolves since moving to the Premier League and he has been linked with a move away this summer. It will be interesting to see if his suitors can tempt him away from Molineux. Earlier this month, Jimenez revealed that it would hard to turn down approaches from Real Madrid or Barcelona.

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...

The reported price could prove to be a challenge for Tottenham and his other suitors though.

If he can get to Everton, I think that would be the best place for him.” Furthermore, Everton have an impressive track record of ...
Report: Ancelotti is an admirer of 24y/o EPL midfielder as Everton plots move
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. Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti is an admirer of the 24-year-old and the club were interested in bringing him to Goodison Park during the January transfer window. Hojbjerg has just a year left on his contract with the Saints and isn’t expected to put pen to paper on an extension. Having stalled on signing a new deal, Southampton won’t be keen to lose the Denmark international for free and will most likely cash in on him when the summer transfer window opens. Ancelotti has stressed his side’s need for more energy in the middle of the park, and Hojbje...
