Morning all, here’s a quick round up for what I’m sure will be a resounding transfer success for the toffees!
Transfer insider Alex Crook has claimed on
TalkSport that
Everton are favourites to sign Rennes winger Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Everton have now had a £22m bid accepted for Stade Rennais forward Kamaldeen Sulemana.
That’s according to the
Daily Mail, as the Toffees quickly run out of time to make things happen in the transfer window.
The bid by Everton for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is “doomed”, while four players could be set to leave Goodison Park on deadline day,
according to the Daily Mail.
While incomings are almost certain, Dyche’s side reportedly could also be set to lose up to four first-team players by Tuesday’s 11pm cutoff – which could, in turn, free up funds for the English manager to spend.
“A bid for Conor Gallagher is doomed,” the Daily Mail reported (Tuesday 31 January, page 69).
“They want a striker, winger and midfielder, while another defender could be brought if some go. Kamaldeen Sulemana, Thorgan Hazard (Dortmund) and Rodrigo Becau (Udinese) have been discussed, while Andre Ayew could join on a free.
“Who could go: Mason Holgate, Michael Keane, Jarrad Branthwaite, Abdoulaye Doucoure.”
Everton want to sign Southampton striker Che Adams on transfer deadline day after Sean Dyche’s appointment as manager, according to Mike McGrath.
Everton and Newcastle United both made approaches to sign
Hakim Ziyech but he has rejected them in favour of Paris Saint-Germain.
That’s according to Foot Mercato, who claim that offers were on the table from both Everton and Newcastle ahead of the transfer deadline.
West Ham could still sign
Michael Keane on loan from
Everton before the deadline despite Sean Dyche’s appointment. But the
Athletic reports that the ‘
fantastic‘ defender could still leave today, if West Ham push their interest forward.
Everton are likely to look for loan deals today (31 January) with limited finances available to make transfers, according to
The Mirror pg. 45. The report also claims that Everton are looking at West Ham United defender Ben Johnson, although, signing attackers remains their priority.
Sean Dyche wants two new signings before the
transfer window closes on Tuesday night. And the new
Everton boss has prioritised his forward line, with the former
Burnley manager desperate to strengthen a shot shy attack with the capture of a winger and another striker.
Manchester United ’s young star
Anthony Elanga is the highest profile target, with the Blues still in contact over the possibility of a loan deal, but there is a reluctance at Old Trafford to let the 20 year old leave, given their own striking problems.
The Blues have also been in discussions for young Ghana international forward Kamaldeen Sulemana, who is valued at £20m by his club Rennes, though they are rivalled by
Southampton for his signature.
West Ham ’s Michail Antonio is another possibility, but an injury to the Hammers’ new signing Danny Ings may scupper any chance of a move.
Everton could be set to hand Sean Dyche his first transfer as the new boss. That’s at least the thinking of transfer insider Dean Jones, who wrote in his column on Sunday night for
GIVEMESPORT about the potential dealings that the Toffees could manage before the window slams shut. With attack a huge problem area, the mention of
Tottenham Hotspur forward Lucas Moura will be a welcome one despite it seeming like a tough deal to do due to his current
£90k-per-week deal. Jones
claimed rather succinctly: “Lucas Moura has been discussed but they feel his wage demands may be too hefty.”
Everton transfer news with Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres a reported target on January transfer deadline day. One player who's been linked with Everton through January is Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres. The striker has plundered 13 goals and recorded seven assists for Championship outfit
Coventry City this season. For a side that sit 13th in the table, that is a fine tally.
Certainly, manager Mark Robins has made his stance clear about Gyokeres. Speaking at the end of December when asked about the former Brighton forward's future ahead of the window opening, he made a defiant claim.
“Viktor is going nowhere. I can tell you now he is going nowhere in January,” Robins told the
Coventry Telegraph. “Absolutely no chance. I’ve spoken to Vik.
“There’s not a chance of them going anywhere in January. It would be absolutely ridiculous and I’m adamant that is happening. The only way people can go is if you have got people lined up, replacements lined up that are better. It’s not going to happen.
Everton are considering making a deadline-day bid for Union Berlin attacker Sheraldo Becker, who has also been on West Ham’s radar. The Merseyside club have been tracking several forwards and Becker is claimed to be one of the names on their shortlist. And according to
German broadcaster Sky Deutschland, they are considering putting in an offer for the Union Berlin forward today.
Everton want to sign at least two attacking players on deadline day. Among their targets are Rennes' 20-year-old Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana, Coventry's Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres, 24, Newcastle United's Scotland winger Ryan Fraser, 28, and Manchester United's 20-year-old Sweden forward Anthony Elanga among their targets.

The Toffees are also targeting Union Berlin's Suriname striker Sheraldo Becker, 27, and Ghana striker Andre Ayew, 33, who is a free agent.
