Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Shani Tarashaj, one of the brightest young talents in Swiss football, has been lined up for a move to Everton as the club prepare to let Steven Naismith move to Norwich City and try to arrange their January transfer business in advance.

Everton have offered Tarashaj, a Switzerland Under-21 international, a four-and-a-half-year contract and the player’s advisers have been in Liverpool over the last couple of days to discuss terms and take in the 4-3 defeat against Stoke City. Talks are at advanced stage but sources in Switzerland have confirmed that Grasshopper Club Zurich want him to be loaned back for the remainder of the season if, as expected, the two clubs agree a fee.

Tarashaj is a 20-year-old secondary striker or attacking midfielder who has scored eight goals in 18 games for Grasshopper this season, helping them to second position in the Super League at the point of their mid-season break, albeit 10 points behind the leaders Basel. He began the season with five goals in his first four appearances and also scored Switzerland’s goal when their under-21s lost 3-1 to England last month, in their qualifying match for the 2017 European Championship.

Roberto Martínez regards him as a creative player who can flourish at Goodison and Everton’s manager will almost certainly be needing a new attacker now Naismith is close to leaving Merseyside, with Norwich provisionally agreeing a deal that would result in the Scotland international moving to Carrow Road in the coming weeks.
 
Marshall linked
Would almost make sense cause we were heavily linked last summer
Just what we need, another bloody Basket case. Can we just buy an established keeper please.
Reading totally unsubstantiated but hope-giving speculation tonight on David Marshall tonight.

It's on Twitter quoting the Daily Mirror so don't get too excited.
