Good morning mates and welcome to the 31st of August transfer round up. Beto looks good, let’s get another 2 or 3 at the same sort of level please!
Everton are on the verge of reaching an agreement with Fulham over the sale of midfielder
Alex Iwobi after talks between the two clubs on Wednesday, according to the
Daily Mail. The newspaper shared
via its online edition on 30 August that discussions are ongoing between the two Premier League clubs.
Everton forward
Tom Cannon has expressed his desire to move on from Goodison Park this summer as the academy graduate searches for first team football. Indeed, the ‘
brilliant’ centre-forward has
been linked with a move away from Merseyside, with Preston North End
rumoured to be eager for a reunion with the 20-year-old.
Everton may have to look at other options ahead of the transfer deadline as a move for Leeds United attacker
Luis Sinisterra no longer appears to be on the cards.
FootballTransfers wrote on 23 August that the Toffees had turned their attention to the Colombia international, 24, in the final week of the window.
The Athletic reported on Thursday (31 August) that the fact that so many players had these clauses meant that players were in a race to see who could get out first.
That’s because FIFA imposes regulations on the number of players allowed to leave on loan in a window which has seen players like Sinisterra exercise an option that they thought they had at the start of the window
LaLiga side Cadiz are weighing up a move for Everton midfielder
Jean-Philippe Gbamin late in the transfer window, according to
El Desmarque. The Spanish publication
posted on its website on Wednesday [30 August] that Gbamin is one of several options being considered by Cadiz ahead of the deadline on Friday [1 September].
Transfer expert Rudy Galetti has warned Leeds fans to brace themselves, as Everton prepare a daring last minute Elland Road raid for
Wilfred Gnonto. The Toffee's find themselves in a sticky situation, having starting their campaign with consecutive losses against Fulham, Aston Villa and Wolves; and with less than 48 hours until the transfer window slams shut, are desperate to add to their squad.
The Daily Mail claim that Everton have added the West Ham forward
Maxwel Cornet to their list of late transfer targets which to be honest is not a bad thing. Since arriving last summer for £17.8million from Burnley, he seems to have vanished from view. Cornet has managed a paltry 665 minutes in 23 appearances over two seasons in all competitions for the Hammers, per transfermarkt
According to The Athletic's Jacob Tanswell,
Kamaldeen Sulemana wishes to leave
Southampton following the club's relegation from the
Premier League this year.
Saints beat Everton to the player's signature in January, and with manager
Sean Dyche searching for a winger, the 22-year-old dynamo could finally make the move to Merseyside, with the Toffees retaining such interest, per the report.
Everton have approached Manchester United over a move for 20-year-old midfielder
Hannibal Mejbri. La Liga side Sevilla are also reportedly interested in the midfielder who has made three Premier League appearances for Manchester United.
That is according to The Athletic, who report that Erik ten Hag sees Hannibal as a player who can make an impact this season, though a loan move remains a possibility.
