Morning mates.
Welcome to the 16th July Everton transfer
show…..
I’ve tried to bundle together as many of the transfer rumours flying around, combining them into one bite size and heart burn inducing portion for your dining pleasure.
I make some apology for some of the sources and articles used.
Everton are edging closer to the summer signature of Leeds United attacker
Willy Gnonto, according to
Corriere dello Sport.
The Italian newspaper reported in their print edition on Sunday (16 July) that a move to the Toffees for the 19-year-old appears ever closer.
Everton may be waiting to go after free agent striker target
Moussa Dembele until the long-awaited investment is announced, according to Kevin Campbell.
The former Lyon striker has been available since he left the Ligue 1 club at the expiry of his contract, with
Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Toffees were “informed on conditions of the deal” back on 12 June.
Over a month later and, after missing out on
Rodrigo from Leeds United, Everton still haven’t brought in a striker while Dembele is now being targeted for a move to Saudi Arabia [
Romano, 13 July], and Campbell worries that the delayed confirmation of the MSP Sports Capital deal might behind the apparent lack of action.
Everton have made an approach to sign Union Saint-Gilloise (USG) striker
Victor Boniface, according to journalist
Sacha Tavolieri.
The journalist reported via his personal Twitter account on Saturday (15 July) that while there is no offer on the table, the player is open to a move.
“We are not yet at the stage of formal negotiations but I understand Everton took initial information on player’s side to glimpse the possibilities of a deal for Victor Boniface,” Tavolieri wrote on
Twitter.
Everton are believed to have made contact with Villarreal winger
Arnaut Danjuma over a summer move to the club, according to a fresh transfer claim.
According to Football Insider, the Blues have contacted Danjuma over a summer switch to Goodison Park, with a loan move again mooted:
"Everton have made contact with Villarreal about signing winger Arnaut Danjuma this summer.
"Contact has been made over a potential loan deal, with the Toffees ready to pay a loan fee as they prepare to submit an offer. It is believed that Sean Dyche has already spoken to the player ahead of a move.
Everton and Almeria have not yet reached an agreement over the transfer of
El Bilal Toure, contrary to reports in the British press, claim
Marca.
The Spanish media outlet, via their website [15 July], wrote that despite there being claims of a move being close and everything agreed, there is a chance of the 21-year-old Mali international staying put in Spain.
Sean Dyche has opened up on the difficulties in the transfer window for Everton.
The Toffees boss admitted to the
Liverpool Echothat financial problems have affected the club’s business – however he has given another reason as to why transfer activity has been slow for the club.
“We’ll just wait and see,” Dyche told the ECHO. “We’re active and are trying to open up situations.
“It’s a tough situation all round because money often makes deals go through. It’s not just that – I say it all the time – people have got to agree things.
“We’re active, people are working very, very hard to see what we can do in the market.”
