Everton have been given the hurry up in the race to sign Issa Doumbia.
Midfield additions could be on the radar for Everton this summer, despite already having a breadth of options on Merseyside.
Everton are still considering Idrissa Gueye’s contract extension given the significant wages he is currently earning.
There are no wrong answers here! They have all been sensational this season 🔥
But which two are you starting if you're Moyes? 🤷♂️
The Toffees may already be running out of time to decide on pursuing Doumbia, with Besiktas making their move.
Besiktas rejected by Everton target Issa Doumbia
Everton hold a strong interest in Doumbia ahead of the summer transfer window.
But the Blues are not alone, with journalist Nico Schira claiming Doumbia has responded to Besiktas’ interest.
Did Everton make a mistake in signing Merlin Rohl? 🫣
Or do we need to be more patient? 😬
‘Issa Doumbia has turned down Besiktas’ bid. The Turkish club was ready to open talks with Venezia to try to sign the midfielder,’ he said.
Although this will come as positive news for the Blues, there is still considerable interest from other clubs.
The in-demand midfielder has plenty of potential landing spots, but he would still mark a possible risk for Everton.
Moyes wants players who are ready to make an impact, and the signing of the Italian would certainly raise questions in that regard.
Doumbia is currently playing in the Italian second division, with the Premier League marking a significant step up.
Given Merlin Rohl’s struggles to make an impact on Merseyside, it could prove a big ask for the Venezia midfielder.
