It is set to be a busy transfer period on the blue half of Merseyside as Everton try to build upon a bang-average campaign.
With Everton back in training, Carlo Ancelotti will look to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2020/21 Premier League campaign. The Italian boss has made it clear that a central midfielder is on top of his priority list. But in an attempt to make the top six, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Toffees are after a number of players this transfer window.
Everton Set Their Sights on Three Players
Carlo Ancelotti Wants Allan
Napoli’s Allan emerged as Everton’s prime target after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg joined Tottenham last week. Allan is a player Ancelotti knows well through his time at Napoli and is eager to finalise this deal swiftly.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed the two sides were in talks and will be working out a fee in the coming days.
Watford’s Doucoure is Another Target
It will be a real surprise to see Abdoulaye Doucoure playing Championship football next season. The Frenchman has been instrumental in Watford’s recent Premier League campaigns and deserves the recognition he has received from clubs like Everton.
The Toffees are looking to revisit their transfer target from last season when Watford rejected a £30 million bid. However, it seems unlikely that the Hornets will be able to keep hold of Doucoure this time around.
From an Everton perspective, Doucoure adds an extra dimension to the midfield with his pace and power. His willingness to get forward and create goal-scoring opportunities is more than matched by his impressive defensive capabilities.
Everton Interested in Roma’s Aleesandro Florenzi
It appears that Roma’s Alessandro Florenzi is wanted by a number of clubs in Europe. Everton are the latest club to have shown an interest in the Italian, who seems to have no future with Roma.
Florenzi who plays primarily as a right-back, but can also operate in central midfield. With limited options in both positions, Florenzi might just be what Everton need right now.
