The latest transfer rumours surrounding Everton include a new potential arrival in the form of Taras Mykhavko. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked with 11 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The hottest storyline currently revolves around a potential move for Alistair Johnston, and below are the latest updates on the most significant transfer sagas.
Iliman Ndiaye
On Thursday, Fabrizio Romano reported that Al Hilal has opened discussions to sign Iliman Ndiaye, though no agreement has been reached with his representatives, with contract negotiations set to continue. However, Ndiaye's father publicly denied any transfer to Saudi Arabia, stating his son assured him he had no intention of making the move. The player reportedly does not intend to leave European football over concerns his level of play might decrease. According to The Mirror, a £70 million competition is also developing between Manchester United and Al-Hilal for the winger.
Alistair Johnston
It was understood on Thursday that Everton have a serious interest in Alistair Johnston. According to Michael Gannon of the Daily Record, Celtic feel they do not need to sell the player, and information from inside Parkhead is that they neither need nor want to sell him at this time. Gannon states that Everton are willing to pay £15 million, but this amount may not convince Celtic. Sources on Merseyside also suggest that manager David Moyes is preparing to make a bid of around £15m, which would reportedly see Johnston triple his wages.
Taras Mykhavko
On Thursday, it was reported that Everton are interested in Dynamo Kiev's 21-year-old Ukrainian centre-back Taras Mykhavko. Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth have also shown an interest in the player.
Tyler Dibling
RB Leipzig are considering Tyler Dibling as one of five candidates to replace Yan Diomande, according to a report on Thursday. The 20-year-old would probably be available for a price similar to the 20 to 30 million euros mentioned for another target.
Dwight McNeil
West Ham are targeting Dwight McNeil for the winger position, and various structures for a potential deal have been discussed as of Thursday.
Liam Delap
Liam Delap's representatives are in discussions with several Premier League clubs after Chelsea indicated he can leave this summer, it was reported on Tuesday. According to TEAMtalk, Everton are in the leading position to sign the striker. Delap reportedly considers David Moyes’ project an attractive option, as the Toffees can provide the regular first-team football he is seeking. Sources close to the player have stressed that his priority is to find a suitable sporting project.
Jack Grealish
Everton is interested in renewing the loan of Jack Grealish, according to a report on Wednesday. The club faces competition for the player from other Premier League teams, as well as clubs in MLS and Saudi Arabia.
