Everton £15m for Demarai Gray as Besiktas make enquiry – Sky Sports
Everton want around £15million for winger Demarai Gray in the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports.
The publication reported on its website on Friday (28 July) that Turkish club Besiktas have enquired about the Toffees attacker.
Sky Sports added that the 27-year-old’s price tag may be a “stumbling block” in the pursuit from the Turkish outfit this summer.
“Turkish club Besiktas have enquired about Everton winger Demarai Gray, however price may be a stumbling block to a deal,” according to Sky Sports.
“Gray has attracted interest from Fulham, Crystal Palace and Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, it is believed Everton would want around £15m for the former Leicester winger.”
Potential exit
There is seemingly no shortage of interest in Toffees winger Gray, but whether or not they can get £15million for the player remains to be seen.
That £15million could be very useful for Sean Dyche in his pursuit of new attackers, with such players desperately needed at Everton if they hope to avoid a third successive Premier League relegation battle.
Gray would definitely be useful, but perhaps the winger wants a new challenge, particularly given the recent arrival of fellow winger Arnaut Danjuma.
He has arrived on a season-long loan from Villarreal, and while the attacker is capable of playing in a central role in the final third, he may be used on the left wing under Dyche.
That could severely limit Gray’s minutes on the pitch, meaning a Goodison Park exit could take place this summer.
Amid the heavy interest, it is Turkish club Besiktas who at this point have made the most concrete move in acquiring his services.
