Everton are targeting a lot of Premier League experience ahead of the summer transfer window.

David Moyes is reportedly keen on John Stones and Nathan Ake from Manchester City, with both defenders expected to leave.

Burnley’s Maxime Esteve is also being linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium after being scouted by Moyes last year.

Are there any players from the relegated clubs you want to see Everton go after this summer? 🤔

Everton in transfer battle with Leeds for Crysencio Summerville

It has been reported that Everton are keeping close tabs on Crysencio Summerville after his standout season for West Ham United.

Summerville netted seven goals whilst laying on five assists for the Hammers and was a constant livewire on that left flank.

However, the Toffees are now facing competition for his signature, as according to Sportsboom, Leeds United have joined the race.

It’s claimed that Leeds are plotting a shock move to sign their former talisman, who left in a £25m deal in 2024.

Whether Summerville is open to a return to Elland Road remains to be seen, as he did appear to be mocked by Leeds’ official social media account ahead of West Ham’s relegation last weekend.

Sportsboom also reiterated Roma’s interest in the Dutchman, so clearly the Friedkin Group are big admirers.

It has been mooted that a £26m bid would be enough to strike a deal, with West Ham needing to raise cash ahead of their first Championship campaign in 14 years.
