Rafael Benítez could talk to Everton but is negotiating with Newcastle via The Guardian

• ‘Mike Ashley’s keen to talk and I’m really pleased,’ says Newcastle manager
• Benítez’s home is on the Wirral and he could be open to Everton move
Rafael Benítez says there is a good chance he will still be in charge of Newcastle United next season but his future at the newly relegated Tynesiders hinges on two factors: the outcome of talks with Mike Ashley this coming week and a potential approach from Everton.

Although the latter seems unlikely at present, the former Liverpool manager’s family home is on the Wirral and it is understood he could be open to talking to Goodison Park officials to succeed Roberto Martínez.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Everton striker Oumar Niasse has been arrested on suspicion of assault.

The report says Police were called to a house in the early hours of Friday morning following a report of assault. They then arrested the 26-year-old and took him away from questioning before being released on bail.

A spokesman fro Greater Manchester Police said:


"At 12.55am on Friday 13 May 2016, police in Salford were called to an address following a report of an assault.

"Officers attended and a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and was taken into police custody for questioning. He has been bailed until 27 May 2016 pending further enquiries."
​

Niasse only joined Everton in January for £13.5million in January from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow.

The Senegal international has struggled for form and fitness since moving to Goodison, with a wrist injury delaying his debut until end of February.

He has made just six substitute appearances since then, scoring no goals, with his only start coming against Leicester earlier this month.

Everton vs Norwich City 2016: Live stream, start time, TV Schedule and How to Watch online via Royal Blue Mersey

GettyImages-501591528.0.jpg

The result doesn't even matter. Supporters of Everton Football Club are already happier headed into this game than they have been in a long time.

The final game of the 2015-16 Premier League season. Going into it, things certainly feel brighter around Goodison Park than they have in the last few months. Roberto Martinez is out as manager. Rumors abound about the summer ahead. And Everton are set to debut next season's home strip today.

The Blues are positioned to have a fond farewell for the supporters. Norwich has already been relegated. Steven Naismith returns to the place where his career rose to the next level. And as interim boss David Unsworth said this week, the players owe the fans a good performance. It's difficult to argue with that sentiment. The Toffees have been dreadful at home all year.

But above everything else. This will be Tim Howard's final appearance in the Everton shirt. He had become a divisive figure over the last season or two, but overall he has been a tremendous goalkeeper for the club. He will now be headed to MLS in a few months time. Thanks for everything you have done, Tim! We wish you nothing but the best!

Come on, you blues!!

Everton vs Norwich City: Premier League Matchday 38 via Royal Blue Mersey

GettyImages-501591586.0.jpg

Just ninety minutes stand between Everton and an offseason that could forever change this club and it's future.

At this point in Everton's dull and disappointing season, there is more to talk about off then pitch as opposed to on it. Roberto Martinez has been sacked, speculation about his replacement is rife and many supporters are already looking forward to a new season and a fresh slate.

Fans are rightfully angry with the turn this season has taken and you will be hard pressed to find anyone, fan or pundit, that will disagree with the sacking of Martinez there are some aspects of this match that should be celebrated and surrounded with positivity. First, this will be the last match in Everton blue for goalkeeper Tim Howard. While his last two season have been less than stellar, Howard has been a rock in net for Everton for ten years and has shown time and time again that he his nothing short of a true Evertonian. This will also likely be the last match for midfielders Leon Osman and Steven Pienaar. Both players may be well beyond their prime, but they were excellent ambassadors for the club and all three departing players should be celebrated for their contribution to Everton.

The Opposition


Norwich are headed back to the Championship having yet again been unable to separate themselves from the bottom of the Premier League table. After Sunderland's midweek defeat of Everton, Newcastle and Norwich sealed their fate and will be going down next year. Former Everton man Steven Naismith joined Norwich in the winter in search of more playing time and unfortunately found himself unable to have much of an impact on the squad. He finished his season with Norwich having tallied only one goal and one assist.

Dieumerci Mbokani and Nathan Redmond will be the offensive threats that Everton will have to contend with this week. The duo have accounted for 13 goals, far and away the best on the club, and Everton's shambolic defense will have to keep tabs on them.

Team News


Tony Hibbert was the most recent victim of the injury bug, leaving the club with no healthy right back on the entire roster. Any hopes of seeing Hibbert finally score his first goal will yet again be dashed. Phil Jagielka and Seamus Coleman continue to be out and may be held out of the match as they attempt to get healthy for next season's campaign.

The Final Word


Saying this season has been a disappointment would be an understatement. However, Martinez is gone, a new and hopefully better regime will be in charge next season and the hopes of a sizable transfer kitty lend us optimism. The goal of this match should be to see off a trio of fantastic club ambassadors with a win. The player's may have given up on playing for the manager, but they should at least put forth an effort for their teammates and send them off in style.

Predicted Starting XI: Howard, Baines, Funes Mori, Stones, Pennington, Barry, McCarthy, Pienaar, Osman, Miallas, Lukaku

Everton have approached Mourinho for vacant manager’s position via Royal Blue Mersey

GettyImages-487866742.0.jpg

Blues rumoured to have sounded out The Special One

The Sunday Times is reporting that Everton have opened conversations with Jose Mourinho regarding the manager's role at Goodison Park. It has been widely rumoured that the Blues, bolstered by new majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, are making some high powered approaches as they look to fill the vacancy left after Roberto Martinez was relieved of his responsibilities this week.

Mourinho features at the top of a shortlist of candidates the Toffees have compiled to replace Roberto Martinez, with Southampton boss Ronald Koeman also targeted.

Unconfirmed rumours this week in the Everton social media had it that the Portuguese manager's representatives had reached out to the Merseyside club first. However, Duncan Castles and Jonathan Northcoft in The Times are now reporting that the Blues have made contact.

They also went on to say Mourinho was unlikely to accept the position at Goodison, especially while there was still a chance that there could be an opening at Manchester United.

'The Special One' has been out of work since November after his second spell in charge of Chelsea ended ignominiously in November.

Club legend and former Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall would love the Toffees to get the manager.


"Ideally what we need is a mix of David Moyes' defensive solidity and Martinez's attacking flair.

"So a Mourinho team would fit the bill perfectly. He is a proven winner and even if he was in for just three years he'd have won a trophy by then.

"He has the arrogance and swagger to lift Everton out of the mire. His teams are built from the back, but score plenty of goals and don't give points away easily."
