Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 12 possible arrivals and 3 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Arsenal's Ben White.
Raúl Asencio
Everton are preparing a €30 million bid for Raúl Asencio, who is also on West Ham’s summer shortlist, it was reported on Saturday. Asencio is seen as a potential leader for Everton’s defence for the next decade and a statement of intent. The player is said to be open to a move and is reportedly disappointed with his inconsistent minutes this term, despite signing a new contract at Real Madrid last summer. Los Blancos are not ruling out a transfer if their asking price is met. According to reports from Spain, Everton have become the main contender to sign the 23-year-old.
Roggerio Nyakossi
On Saturday, it was reported that Everton are among several Premier League clubs monitoring Roggerio Nyakossi. The 22-year-old Swiss-Togolese defender and Swiss U21 captain plays for OH Leuven, and Liverpool and Chelsea are also competing for him. A price of nine million euros has been suggested as realistic. West Ham United, Fulham, and Crystal Palace are also said to be observing the player, whose contract in Belgium runs until 2027. It is also reported that Olympique Marseille is working on his return, and there was interest from clubs in Italy and Germany during the winter.
Ben White
It was reported on Thursday that Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell defender Ben White if they receive a suitable offer. TEAMtalk have confirmed that Everton are interested in finalising a deal. According to a report from Hand of Arsenal on Wednesday, Everton are showing strong interest in White and are leading the effort to sign him amid doubts over the England international's future at Arsenal.
Emmanuel Fernandez
It was recently reported that Rangers were demanding around £35m for Emmanuel Fernandez amid links to Everton, but it is not expected to be a legitimate valuation. According to Scottish Sun journalist David Friel on Saturday, Rangers will look to sell players they have signed this season if they get decent offers, and he believes they will sell Fernandez. On Wednesday, TEAMtalk reported that Everton is one of the clubs monitoring the centre-back, for whom Rangers are asking for a transfer fee of 40 million euro.
Iliman Ndiaye
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the Everton duo Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner this summer in a double deal valued at €100 million, according to a report on Friday. The Spanish publication Fichajes states that Man Utd are prepared to pay €70m for Ndiaye. Several top Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Liverpool, are also watching the winger. On Thursday, Sky Sports reported that Manchester United is closely monitoring Ndiaye for the upcoming summer transfer window and his name is on an expanded shortlist.
Jack Grealish
According to The i Paper on Thursday, Everton have decided they are willing to pay $26.8 million (£20 million) for the permanent signing of Jack Grealish from Manchester City, as his loan deal is nearing its end. Earlier, Sports Boom reported that Aston Villa and Everton will both seek to sign Grealish this summer, as the winger is preparing for a permanent exit from the Etihad Stadium.
James Garner
Manchester United are reportedly interested in a €100 million double deal for Everton's Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner this summer, it was reported on Friday. According to the Spanish publication Fichajes, Manchester United are ready to pay €30 million to re-sign Garner, who was sold to Everton four years ago for €10.4 million. A deal could be feasible because of his impressive form, despite him signing a new long-term contract in January. However, a report from Sports Boom on Thursday stated that while Manchester United are interested in a summer deal, a transfer is unlikely after Garner signed a new contract with Everton until 2030.
