Everton manager Marco Silva has revealed to The Liverpool Echo what Andre Gomes has told him amid speculation regarding Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Sport, Tottenham have agreed agreed terms with midfielder Gomes and a bid of €30 million (£25.89m) will be made Barcelona shortly (click here to read more).

The 25-year-old central midfielder joined Everton on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona in the summer of 2018.

Everton manager Silva wants to keep hold of the Portugal international beyond the summer of 2019, and he has revealed what the midfielder has told him about his future.

Silva told The Liverpool Echo: “The only feedback I hear from now is from Andre and what he said to me.

“Our relationship is really honest. He hasn’t decided nothing about his future and his agent either.

“I’ve already said about our talks with him and Zouma also. Now it’s up to us to show our ambition.”

Everton stay?

With Tottenham having finished in the top four of the Premier League this season and having also reached the final of the Champions League, Spurs do indeed appear to be very appealing and attractive.

Gomes has done well at Everton, and it should not come as a surprise that Spurs are reportedly interested in the Portuguese.

For Everton, though, retaining the services of the midfielder beyond the summer has to be a must, if the Toffees are to challenge for a top-six finish in the Premier League next season.
