The latest transfer rumours surrounding Everton include a new link to Australian teenage defender Lucas Herrington. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 15 possible arrivals and 6 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney.
Lucas Herrington
On Saturday, it was reported that Everton and West Ham are among the teams with an interest in Lucas Herrington, an 18-year-old Australian defender for the Colorado Rapids. Barcelona was the first club to make its interest formal, submitting a bid that was described as historic. The Rapids rejected the offer because it did not meet their valuation. More clubs are expected to make offers for Herrington this summer.
Mateo Pellegrino
Everton are observing Parma striker Mateo Pellegrino, who is 24, it was reported on Thursday. Newcastle United and Brentford have also shown definite interest in him. It is reported that all three Premier League clubs have included the Argentine-Spanish attacker on their lists of potential summer acquisitions. Parma’s €30 million valuation is considered a major difficulty for interested Serie A clubs, which gives an advantage to the Premier League clubs.
Guéla Doué
According to The Athletic on Saturday, Everton's decision-makers have been monitoring Guéla Doué's progress for several months and had considered making a move during the last winter transfer window. The English club could renew their interest as the summer market approaches. The report adds that Strasbourg is not excluding the possibility of a departure for a financially attractive offer. On Wednesday, it was reported that the 23-year-old is one of five potential right-backs being targeted by Everton.
Jarrod Bowen
According to speculation from Team Talk on Friday, Jarrod Bowen could depart, and Everton is among the clubs interested in him, though the player's stance could prevent any move. A recent report from The Daily Mail also states that Everton is interested in the player, whose future is now open after West Ham's relegation. Everton manager David Moyes is reportedly keen to work again with his former player.
Tyrique George
According to the Daily Mail on Friday, Chelsea are yet to receive an update from Everton as to whether they will activate a €28.9m (£25m) option to sign Tyrique George permanently. George spent the second half of last season on loan with the Toffees. On Monday, it was reported that Everton are strongly considering signing the Chelsea loanee on a permanent deal but are looking at ways to lower the figure.
Hayden Hackney
On Thursday, it was reported that Everton remain in talks for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney and are prepared to pay around £20m. Two bids from Everton have been rejected by Middlesbrough, who are asking for £25 million. On Monday, Middlesbrough rejected a second approach from Everton, which is believed to have been a package worth approximately £15m.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
On Sunday, ExWHUEmployee reported that Everton are the most advanced side in pursuing West Ham's Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It is reported that The Hammers are demanding between £15 million and £20 million for him, and it appears that club-to-club talks are underway. However, on Saturday, former Premier League scout Mick Brown warned that Wan-Bissaka could reject a move to Everton and revealed that he favours a move to a London club.
