Morning all, here’s the latest news, rumours and updates for Thursday the 11th of August. Definitely still some deals to be done!
Everton are exploring the possibility of signing Southampton and Scotland forward Che Adams on loan, according to reports.
The Athletic report that Adams, 26, is a target for Frank Lampard as he looks to fill the strikerless void in the Blues squad. On Saturday evening, the Toffees' promising performance against Chelsea was cracked by the absences of Dominic Calvert-Lewin - who is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines following the injury he sustained last month - Salomon Rondon and Richarlison - who was sold to Spurs for £50m back in July
Everton have reportedly made a ‘first offer’ to try and sign Rennes striker
Serhou Guirassy. It was reported earlier this week that the Goodison Park outfit hold an ‘
interest‘ in signing Guirassy, as they look for a new striker following the injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the sale of Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur.
The six-foot-two colossus scored an impressive 12 goals and made a further three assists in France last season (
Transfermarkt), recording
impressive statistics in Ligue 1 for numerous aspects of his gameplay.
Taking to Twitter, French journalist
Fabrice Hawkins, a reporter for major news outlet
RTL, has revealed that ‘in recent hours’, talks have ‘intensified’ between Rennes and the Toffees over Guirassy, with a ‘first offer’ already being made:
Everton talks to potentially sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja are still ‘ongoing’. It has been
reported throughout the window that the Goodison Park outfit hold an interest in signing Broja
Writing in his latest piece for
iNews, journalist Mark Douglas has revealed that talks over the possible signing of Broja are ‘ongoing’. He adds that the Merseyside club have also agreed the heavily reported deal for their former midfielder Idrissa Gueye, so can now focus their attentions on the Albania international
David Moyes’ first attempt to solve his central defensive issues have reportedly been snubbed after he made a loan bid for Everton’s
Michael Keane.
According to [Publication Blacklisted], Moyes has tried to raid his former club Everton as he searches for reinforcements, but has been unsuccessful in his bid to sign Keane, 29.
Idrissa Gana Gueye is yet to reach an agreement with Everton, delaying a potential return from Paris Saint Germain this summer.
That’s
according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, who explains why a move for the midfielder is not progressing as expected.
On Tuesday, we covered a report that stated they’re still putting the pressure on to get the deal they want but
Gueye is ‘hesitating’, hence the delay.
Hawkins follows that up and explains that Gueye has ‘not yet reached an agreement’ with Everton despite weeks of talks.
With Everton boss Frank Lampard wanting to sign a new striker this window, the former Chelsea man has been lining up a bid for
Viktor Gyokeres according
to the Daily Mail. However, Coventry manager Mark Robins has now spoken to
Coventry Live about the player and has insisted that there is ‘zero truth’ in the reports that say talks between the striker and the Toffees are underway, and that the creators of those reports are ‘idiots’.
Reported Everton target
Mohamed Camara is ‘determined’ to leave Red Bull Salzburg this summer but is yet to receive an offer from any club.
That’s
according to Salzburg 24, who provide an insight into the situation around the midfielder today. Camara has this week found himself linked with a move to Everton, who have turned their attention to the 22-year-old amid difficulties in signing Idrissa Gana Gueye according to reports in England.
Those claims have now been picked up on in Austria, where they insist Salzburg are yet to receive an official offer for Camara.
Juventus is reportedly intensifying its efforts to offload
Moise Kean. The striker re-joined them on loan from Everton at the start of last season, and they could be obligated to buy him for around 28m euros by the end of this campaign.
However, his return to Juve has not been a good one as he struggles to score when he plays and rarely does get playing time at the club. He recently missed their friendly game against Atletico Madrid because he turned up late for a training session, and he may have played his last match for the club.
The former PSG loanee has now been offered to OGC Nice according to a report on
Football Italia.
Everton have been linked with
Sheffield United striker
Daniel Jebbison once again. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s injury meaning that Frank Lampard is desperately short of central striking options,
Football League World understands that the Toffees remain interested in the Blades teenager.
They had an offer rejected last summer but Everton believe that the 19-year-old, while a target for his long-term potential, could help to solve their current problems.
