All of Everton’s latest news rounded up in one place, including transfer updates and club news.
Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly
Everton have received a boost in their pursuit of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, with the Daily Mail reporting the Senegal international wants to leave the Italian giants after refusing terms on a new contract offer.
Over in Italy, Tuttosport are claiming that the Blues face disappointment in the race for Axel Witsel’s signature, with Juventus reportedly lining up the Belgian as a potential Paul Pogba replacement, should the Frenchman eventually leave the Turin outfit.
Liverpool’s new signing Georginio Wijnaldum
New Liverpool signing Georgina Wijnaldum revealed how he turned down Everton to join the Reds, citing the chance to work with Jurgen Klopp as the main reason behind his decision, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
Meanwhile, Everton boss Ronald Koeman has explained to the club’s official website why he is considering playing Gerard Deulofeu as an auxiliary striker:

“We had a lot of pace up front with Gerard. Maybe this is a new position for him but I know he played there for Barcelona ‘B’. Because he is very fast, we created a lot of danger from that.”
And finally, Kevin Mirallas has revealed how the Blues boss has been giving him tips on how to improve his free-kicks, as reported by the Liverpool Echo:
“I work two or three times a week on my free-kicks. Now, the new manager is someone who had that as a speciality when he played. He’s had a few words with me about shooting and now I’ve scored and I’m very happy.”
What a wonderful advantage it could turn out to be to the playing squad in having someone of Koeman’s calibre at the helm.
