Everton transfer round-up: Luiz offer submitted as Kinnear locked in talks
Everton will be hoping to improve their squad before the Premier League season starts.
The Toffees are still short of players, particularly in attack, and this is an issue David Moyes will be keen to address in the coming weeks.
Here, Goodison News rounds up the latest news from the last 24 hours.
Everton target Atletico Mineiro defender Lyanco
Atletico Mineiro defender Lyanco has been identified as a target to boost Everton’s defence.
The former Southampton defender has enjoyed some spectacular form for his new side. Now, Moyes will do what he can to bring him back to England.
Lyanco could prove to be a useful understudy to James Tarkowski.
Toffees still in the hunt for Hamza Igamane
Rangers striker Hamza Igamane has been linked with Everton all summer, although the rumours had quietened down recently.
The Moroccan would add some much-needed firepower to Moyes’ squad.
Now, it’s being reported that Everton could make a £13million bid.
Angus Kinnear locked in talks with Moyes after pre-season friendly
Everton fell to a defeat in a dreary pre-season friendly against Blackburn at the weekend.
Many fans suggested that both teams were way off the standard that they’ll need to be at the start of the season.
Moyes and CEO Angus Kinnear were seen talking for a long time after the game, hopefully about the improvements needed in the squad.
Everton have submitted a bid for Douglas Luiz
Douglas Luiz is a talented midfielder, but his club, Juventus, seem willing to sell him.
Reports suggest that Everton have made a bid, as well as West Ham, for Luiz, who Juventus value at £34million-plus.
There’s no guarantee that Luiz will come to Merseyside, though, and it is not clear how much either Premier League outfit is offering.
