Everton transfer news as Demarai Gray remains keen on exit amid Al Ettifaq talks
Everton may not be done with their outgoings for the summer as Demarai Gray remains locked in talks with Al Ettifaq, according to 90Min.
Despite the window closing and the Jamaica international criticising the club for the handling of his transfer, the 27-year-old remains keen on sealing his exit from Goodison Park.
Gray is yet to feature for Sean Dyche this season and by the looks of it, does not plan to again amid talks to move to Saudi Arabia.
Only at the right price
If other Premier League clubs are able to make the most of Saudi interest shown in their players and demand crazy money, then so should Everton.
If Gray is that keen on leaving and Ettifaq are open to paying a good amount to secure his services, the Toffees need to sit at the negotiating table.
There’s no point in keeping an unhappy player at the club and who arguably does not make it into their best eleven.
While they will not be able to spend that money until January, he’ll be off the payroll and they can begin plans over who to sign once the transfer is finalised.
Gray has gone against the club publically so has burned all bridges there and Dyche is not someone to be benign towards such a thing.
He certainly would not be happy with any player undermining his or the club’s authority in the way the 27-year-old did.
