Everton news and transfers LIVE – Viktor Gyokeres interest, Amadou Onana latest, MSP latest

According to i, the Blues could look to generate funds for a much-needed summer rebuild by offloading members of the current squad. However, the report adds that Jordan Pickford isn’t expected to be one of those.

“Jordan Pickford has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park but having committed himself to the club by signing a new deal without a relegation release clause in February, Everton intend to keep hold of him,” writes the i’s Northern Football Correspondent Mark Douglas.

“Instead the club may listen if there are sizeable offers for Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana, who is being tracked by Chelsea and Newcastle. It is a department they have some numbers in, especially with the renewal of Abdoulaye Doucoure’s contract for another year.”

How would you feel about the possibility of losing Onana, Blues?

Toure is valued at £25million according to the Daily Mail, though Everton want to ensure he is fully recovered from a thigh injury before making a move.
