Everton are expected to offload several players this summer transfer window.
Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gana Gueye are both out of contract, and the likes of Adam Aznou and Tyler Dibling could depart on loan.
Nathan Patterson is another Everton first-teamer whose future seems uncertain, as David Moyes has left him on the bench for most of his 18 months in charge.

Patterson is set to go to the World Cup with Scotland, so his stock could boost over the next month or so.

According to Italian outlet La Repubblica, via CalcioGenoa, Bologna are alert to Patterson’s situation as they could sell Brooke Norton-Cuffy when the window opens.

The Everton right-back recently admitted he’s endured ‘a lot of downs’ on Merseyside, so he’ll probably. be pushing for a move.
Moyes has hardly given Patterson a chance despite impressing when he has come into the side this season.
Everton are plotting a £10m move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, so they’ll want to wrap that deal up before sanctioning Patterson’s sale.
Perhaps it would be wise to wait until after the World Cup to sell, as Patterson could go on to have a really good tournament, thus attracting a bidding war.
