Afternoon mates.
Welcome to the 26th July Everton transfer show…..
I’ve tried to bundle together as many of the transfer rumours flying around, combining them into one bite size and heart burn inducing portion for your dining pleasure.
I make some apology for some of the sources and articles used.
Mali striker
El Bilal Toure, 21, has decided to join Atalanta from Almeria rather than Everton.

Young Everton forward
Tom Cannon will be allowed to leave Goodison Park on loan amid plenty of interest once the Toffees complete deals to sign two attackers,
according to Alan Nixon.
Cannon has had interest from Preston North End throughout the transfer window, having spent last season on loan at Deepdale with Stoke City and Birmingham City now entering the chase for his signature.
Lewis Warrington could be set to make a loan move to Plymouth Argyle after the club opened talks with Everton, according to the
Liverpool Echo.
Football Transfers had reported on 4 July that the south coast club were interested in the Toffees midfielder, with another former Finch Farm graduate, Lewis Gibson, already having signed after rejecting a new contract on Merseyside.
According to
Liverpool ECHO, EFC are in talks with Plymouth Argyle over a loan deal for Lewis Warrington.
According to
Vital Football, League One side Oxford United are also in talks with Everton for the loan of Stanley Mills.
Everton are ready to accept offers for winger
Demarai Gray this summer, sources have told Football Insider. Football Insider revealed on Tuesday (25 July) that Premier League duo Fulham and Crystal Palace are facing competition from Saudi Arabia for the 27-year-old’s signature.
Gray could now depart Goodison Park for a big profit just two years after arriving for a
reported £1.7million from Bayer Leverkusen.
Everton are expecting to bring in two strikers shortly to reinforce their attacking options,
according to journalist Alan Nixon.
In recent times, the Toffees’ recruitment has been, for want of a coarser word, lacklustre. A combination of ill-advised stop-gaps and unexpected damp squibs have slowly dragged the club into a perpetual battle for survival, and this summer,
Sean Dyche has been left with the unenviable task of rejuvenating a squad without the obvious means to do so.
Thus far, that has led to nothing more than a couple of frugal, savvy acquisitions. Veteran wide man Ashley Young has arrived at Goodison Park on a free transfer, while Arnaut Danjuma - the Villarreal winger who slipped their clutches back in January - has signed on a season-long loan.
But if recent reports are to be believed, the pair could soon be joined by precocious Leeds United forward
Wilfried Gnonto. According to Football Insider
According to Turkish publication
Sporx, Everton are amongst the several European clubs considering a move for
Deniz Dilmen. The young Istanbul Basaksehir goalkeeper has caught the attention of Wolves, Villarreal, and AC Milan, as well as the Toffees.
Andre Gomes has been criticised for his performance against Bolton Wanderers last night.
The Liverpool Echo showed the Everton midfielder a disappointing 5/10 rating following the Toffees’ goalless draw against Bolton Wanderers, slamming the midfielder for being ‘sloppy’ and ‘off the pace’.
Everton striker
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been ‘proposed’ to Roma as they continue their hunt for a new centre-forward this summer. That’s
according to Corriere dello Sport, who have the Everton man on the front page of their newspaper today.
The newspaper reports that Calvert-Lewin is the ‘latest name’ to be offered to the Italian side as they continue their hunt for a replacement for Tammy Abraham.
