Everton are set to bolster Rafael Benitez’s squad by signing two wingers – Andros Townsend and Bayer Leverkusen’s Demarai Gray.
The Toffees were already moving in for Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic but are now set to add a couple more players.
The Telegraph report that Everton are set to sign both Townsend and Gray, giving Benitez the depth he needs down the flanks.
Gray is only costing £1.5million from Leverkusen, mere months after leaving Leicester City for a move to the Bundesliga.
After 10 appearances in Germany, Gray is heading back to the Premier League already with Everton striking a cut-price deal.
Free agent Townsend will arrive too, reuniting with Benitez having played under the Spaniard at Newcastle United in 2016.
Neither are particularly flashy signings for Everton and won’t break the bank, leaving Toffees supporters with mixed opinions.
Some believe that Gray is a good signing at £1.5million, praising his ‘incredible pace’ whilst still feeling he has potential.
Fans are less convinced by Townsend, believing that he could be another Theo Walcott and is no better than Alex Iwobo or Bernard.
