....on this day last year, Wayne Rooney returned to Everton. What a difference 12 months makes, here’s what’s being rumoured this Monday morning;
- Calciomercato continue to suggest Everton and Roma lead the charge for RB Leipzig attacking midfielder, Emil Forsberg. The Swedish international failed to impress as much as expected in the recent World Cup. The Star suggest the player would cost £25m.
- According to The Daily Mirror, Everton have turned down an improved bid of £14m from RB Leipzig for winger, Ademola Lookman.
- The Mirror also says Arsenal face a battle with Everton and West Ham for French midfielder, Steven N’Zonzi. French outlet, Le10 Sport, suggest Everton and West Ham are desperate to sign the 29 year old from Sevilla.
- Tutto Mercato Web say Everton have been dealt a blow as Manchester United have entered the race to sign PSVs Mexican winger, Hirving Lozano.
- Turkish outlet, Fanatik, report Fenerbahce still await Everton’s response after making a loan offer for Yannick Bolasie. They say the player is keen on the move and has agreed personal terms. Marco Silva will make up his mind on Bolasie’s future in the next 10 days.
- The Liverpool Echo pick up on reports that Everton have walked away from talks with Celtic regarding Left Back Kieran Tierney. The Toffees apparently baulked at the £25m asking price but the Echo say it might not be the last we hear of Everton and Tierney.
