Good morning all, early one today as I have to head to the office this morning ffs…..
Everton have asked Chelsea to include either England midfielder
Conor Gallagher, 22, or Albania international
Armando Broja, 20, on loan as part of the deal to sign 21-year-old forward
Anthony Gordon.
(talkSPORT)
And
The Toffees are finally ready to sell
Gordon if they can find a suitable replacement. Watford's Brazilian forward
Joao Pedro, 20, and Southampton and Scotland international
Che Adams, 26, are among the players the club has made inquiries over.

Gordon has told Everton he wants to sign for Chelsea to play Champions League football and boost his chances of being selected for England's World Cup squad (The Athletic)
And
Lampard on
Gordon: “He’s our player, everyone knows of Chelsea’s interest, we have a good relationship, ideally (a quick resolution to the situation) or we carry on and he’s our player” (Alan Myers Twitter)
And
Frank Lampard has insisted that
Everton do not need to sell
Anthony Gordon, despite the player asking to leave his boyhood club for
Chelsea.
'It is a football decision and a financial decision and it has to be right for everyone,' said Lampard, who could still use Gordon for the trip to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. 'Anthony is our player.'
Everton are showing interest in Newcastle United forward
Miguel Almiron, but the Magpies will only sanction a permanent exit for the 28-year-old according to
The Guardian’s Ed Aarons. It had been revealed by journalist Roberto Rojas (via his
personal Twitter account, 24 May) that Everton were
interested in the Paraguayan international.
Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie says that Newcastle United are ‘confident’ of securing a deal for Watford striker
Joao Pedro.
The Magpies have returned with an improved £30million offer
after seeing a second bid of £25million rejected. But
reports yesterday said that Everton were ready to match Newcastle’s £30million offer, to which Downie says he has ‘conflicting information’ on.
“Now, there are reports elsewhere that Everton have joined the race to sign him as well. We have conflicting information on that, so we don’t have it strong enough to be able to stand up whether that is the case or not.
“But all I can say is the information I have is Newcastle are confident of getting a deal done. There is an understanding that the player wants to come to Newcastle and they’re quite close to an agreement.”
Everton are reportedly pursuing a deal for
Leandro Trossard With Dominic Calvert-Lewin currently
out injured,
Salomon Rondon is the only fit centre-forward at Frank Lampard’s disposal. While he’s
predominantly a left winger, Trossard is capable of playing as a striker or an attacking midfielder.
The 27-year-old is
into the final year of his contract at the Amex Stadium. However,
The Athletic reported in May that Brighton have the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months.
Pete O’Rourke
took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to share the news on Trossard.
“Everton are interested in a move Brighton attacker Leandro Trossard,”
Dele Alli is closing in on a move to his third club in a year as he was left out of
Everton's
Carabao Cup match day squad against Fleetwood Town. Manager
Frank Lampard confirmed that the 26-year-old is set to join Besiktas after the Toffees' 1-0 win over Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup.
He said: 'He's very advanced to moving to Besiktas. It's not absolutely done yet but it's very advanced.'
Leeds United are unlikely to strike a deal for
Blackburn Rovers forward
Ben Brereton-Diaz at this stage, according to journalist Ben Jacobs who made this revelation to
Give Me Sport.
Everton are also thought to be in the race to recruit him, though they could potentially scupper this move by opting to recruit Watford’s
Joao Pedro instead.
