Dzeko Latest
Sky Sport Italia claim Inter Milan have agreed a deal with Roma striker Edin Dzeko.
The move could finally put to bed the slightly outrageous rumours linking the former Manchester City man with Everton.
Dzeko scored 14 goals last season and his contract runs until 2020 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Tarashaj Latest
It’s fair to say things haven’t quite worked out as planned for Shani Tarashaj this season.
You’ll know that if you’ve been keeping up-to-date with all your latest Everton news, views, opinion and transfer tittle-tattle today.
But Adam Jones has expanded a little on Tarashaj’s nightmare campaign and why that leaves the Blues with a transfer conundrum on their hands as the loan star returns to Merseyside.
Fernandes Dream
Bruno Fernandes says he dreams of playing in the Premier League.
The Sporting Lisbon captain, linked with Everton, Manchester City and Liverpool, was in imperious form last term, notching 27 goals and 13 assists.
“I always said that I was an ambitious player and from a very early age I have had a dream of playing in England, where you can live pure football without big controversy, without big cases,” he said this week.
“I want to make a good pre-season and if anything comes up I’m available to do what is best for the club.”
Malcom Latest
Tottenham are reportedly interested in Barcelona winger Malcolm in addition to Andre Gomes as manager Mauricio Pochettino looks to bolster his squad this summer.
The Mirror write that Everton loan star Gomes has been on their radar for a while and they are also said to be monitoring Malcom in a double-raid on the Camp Nou.
The Blues were heavily linked with the forward last summer but he eventually joined the Spanish champions.
He has since been touted with a move to Goodison Park but Inter Milan have also been mentioned.
Robinson Post
Young Everton defender Antonee Robinson loved Mike Dean’s reaction to Tranmere’s play-off victory over Newport County yesterday.
What a brilliant post!
I wonder what the future holds for Antonee next season after another successful loan spell in the Championship with Wigan Athletic?
A real talent.
Gomes Latest
West Ham have offered Barcelona £18m for Andre Gomes write The Times.
Gomes has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur after a successful season on loan at Everton.
The Portuguese midfield maestro made 27 appearances and became a fans favourite during his time with the Blues.
Manuel Pellegrini has now reportedly made Gomes his ‘priority target’ this summer and the Hammers have already made a ‘series’ of bids for his services.
Tarashaj Future
Shani Tarashaj could well have played his final game for relegated Swiss outfit Grasshopper Zurich last night.
The 24-year-old was an unused substitute in a 3-3 draw with Lugano and has not started a game for the entirety of his loan spell from Everton.
Grasshoppers possess an option to land Tarashaj permanently this summer but after featuring for just 90 minutes overall since January, this does not look likely.
The full Swiss international’s contract runs until 2020 at Goodison Park and Marcel Brands and Marco Silva will be keen to ship him out during the close-season.
Richarlison Speaks
Richarlison has spoken on his relationship with Ajax star David Neres amidst transfer rumours linking him with Everton.
The Brazilian duo will link-up on international duty for this summer’s Copa America after successful individual campaigns for their respective clubs.
Both players will now do battle for a place in Tite’s front-three and Richarlison said via Sport Witness: “It’s a very good fight because Neres made a great season in the Netherlands and in the Champions League.
“I get along very well with him, a friendship that comes from the South American U20s. Let’s do our best in training and it’s up to the manager to decide who will play. I’m about to do my best when he needs me.
“I think I and Neres, when we met at the U20 team, everyone said they wanted to get to the first team.
“There’s Neres, me and [Lucas] Paqueta here today. It was everyone’s dream, at the time Brazil were in the qualifiers, and we were in the South American championship with [Gabriel] Jesus scoring a lot of goals.
“He was a guy who was an inspiration because he was our age.”
Richarlison also reflected on his own improvement under Everton manager Marco Silva, adding: “I think the tactical part is used a lot there, with an error for the attackers there’s the chance of a goal, we have to always be well positioned.
“I think I improved enough on this and my finishing. I used to make a lot of mistakes when I played here.
“Marco Silva is getting me to train on finishing, I have improved a lot on this, everyone saw during the games. This year I scored more goals with fewer strikes than last season. I hope to score in the national team as well.”
Richarlison's Agent Talks
Richarlison’s agent has reiterated the claim that Everton would want huge money to land his client this summer.
The ECHO reported back in April that the Blues are intent on keeping the Brazilian, who will represent his country in this summer’s Copa America.
“Richarlison has a contract with Everton for another four years,” representative Renato Velasco said via Inside Futbol.
“I think some official proposals will come, but so far it’s only speculation.
”If a club had an interest in negotiating, we will sit down and talk about it, but I don’t know if Everton will want to negotiate in this summer window.
”I believe that Everton will not sell him for less than £100m today.”
