Recapping the latest developments involving Everton, the club is reportedly finalizing a bid for Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra.
The 20-year-old Senegalese international, who has been on Everton’s radar for months, is expected to join fellow countrymen Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye. Additionally, defender Reece Welch is set to be loaned out before the transfer window closes.
In other news, Everton might face a challenging decision regarding Dominic Calvert-Lewin. With West Ham showing interest, a £20 million offer could be too tempting for the club to decline, given the financial benefits of such a deal. Meanwhile, the Everton Women’s team has bolstered their squad with the signing of Spanish international Inma Gabarro from Sevilla.
As Jake O’Brien completes his medical, Everton prepares to listen to offers for other central defenders.
Gabby Agbonlahor has suggested that Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips should consider a move to Everton, especially with Amadou Onana’s departure and the playing style of manager Sean Dyche.
Sean Dyche has also been impressed with Tim Iroegbunam during preseason, praising his performance and potential. However, talks for Leeds United’s Willy Gnonto have stalled, indicating a challenging negotiation ahead.
Finally, Everton’s next preseason friendly is against Coventry City, with the match scheduled for 7:45 BST.
