Everton news round-up: Calvert-Lewin replacement found as Toffees eye Liverpool ace
Everton look set to be busy in this summer’s transfer window as a host of exciting players have been linked with the Toffees in the last 24 hours.
The Toffees need new recruits as they will be releasing a handful of experienced players at the end of June.
Here, Goodison News rounds up the latest transfer rumours surrounding the blue half of Merseyside.
Tottenham could hijack Kyle Walker’s move to Everton
Kyle Walker is likely to be looking for a new club this summer after being frozen out at Manchester City.
He has been linked with a move to Everton for some time, but now reports are suggesting that Tottenham could launch a bid of their own.
Walker is a former Spurs player, so a move to North London could appeal.
However, talkSPORT pundit Darren Bent believes a transfer to Everton would be more beneficial for both club and player.
Trabzonspor join the race to sign Gueye
Idrissa Gueye’s Everton contract expires on 30 June. Everton boss David Moyes wants to keep Gueye at the club, but negotiations over a new deal have stalled.
Rennes and Paris FC have reportedly been tracking Gueye’s contract talks, with a view to potentially signing him on a free transfer.
Now, Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor are believed to have joined the race for Gueye’s signature.
Nevertheless, Everton maintain hope of striking a deal with their midfielder before the end of the month.
Joe Gomez could seal historic transfer
Everton are reportedly eyeing up a historic move for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez.
No player has moved from Liverpool to Everton since 1992, but Gomez is struggling for minutes at Anfield and could be open to leaving.
A number of Premier League clubs are interested in signing the England international, so Moyes will be hoping that remaining in the city will appeal to Gomez.
Toffees line up replacement for Calvert-Lewin
It’s looking increasingly likely that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be leaving Everton.
The striker’s contract expires on 30 June, and he has shown little interest in signing a new one.
| Signed | Appearances | Goals |
| August 2016 | 273 | 71 |
Negotiations with the striker are ongoing, but Moyes is looking at potential replacements as well.
Reports suggest Moyes is interested in Rangers star Hamza Igamane, and Ian Darke believes that would be a good move for all involved.
Darke said: “He exactly fits the profile as the kind of player at the right kind of price.”
