      Everton lining up transfer for Dnipro striker Artem Dovbyk after having Arnaut Danjuma stolen from them by Tottenham

      by

      EVERTON are considering a move for Dnipro striker Artem Dovbyk in a bid to boost their survival hopes.The Toffees are still on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Frank Lampard earlier this week, but with the window closing in a matter of days they cannot afford to hang around in terms of signings.

      Having already had Arnaut Danjuma snatched from under their noses by Tottenham, Everton are hopeful that the sale of Anthony Gordon to Newcastle could fund some late January spending.
      The Toffees have desperately struggled for goals this season with only Wolves (12) scoring fewer than their 15 across 20 games so far this season.
      Dovbyk, who has previously been linked to Nottingham Forest, has 11 goals in 14 Premier Liga appearances so far this term.
      The Ukraine international, 25, has a further five goals and two assists in six Europa Conference League outings.

      Dovbyk is represented by the same agency who recently secured Mykhailo Mudryk an £88million move to Chelsea.
      Meanwhile, Everton are also tracking Sheffield United forward Iliman Ndiaye.
      The Senegal international, 22, has ten goals and seven assists in 28 Championship appearances for the Blades so far this season.
      However, Sheffield United are reluctant to sanction a sale as they push for promotion back to the Premier League while operating under a transfer embargo.

      The EFL punishment means that, regardless of how much Everton are willing to pay, the Blades would not be able to replace one of their key men this month.
      Everton also need to fund a move for a new manager and appear to have missed out on Marcelo Bielsa after he demanded £6m a year to join.
      Sean Dyche and Sam Allardyce are also in the running to take over with the Toffees in danger of relegation. More

      But he could be set for a return to the Premier League after holding talks with Everton, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      Everton are reportedly impressed with the rebuild Solskjaer oversaw at United, qualifying for the Champions League twice and finishing as runners-up in the Europa League.
      But Solskjaer, 49, is demanding the Toffees strengthen the squad before he agrees to take over.
      The former striker wants Everton to sign United captain Harry Maguire and his midfield team-mate Scott McTominay.

      Fortunately for Solskajer, United are believed to be willing to let the pair go to help ease financial fair play strains.
      Both have seen their playing time reduce following the signings of Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez.

      Maguire could be available on loan with West Ham seeing a bid rejected for the England star.
      McTominay has also attracted interest from elsewhere in the Prem, most notably Newcastle.

      Farhad Moshiri facing huge £300MILLION financial black hole if he sells Everton after years of failed transfer spending

      by

      FARHAD MOSHIRI is staring at a financial black hole that could cost him as much as £300MILLION if he sells Everton.That stunning figure of failure would represent almost a quarter of the 67-year-old’s fortune after seven years of failed spending during his reign as the club’s majority owner.
      Farhad Moshiri could end up losing £300m if he sells EvertonCredit: Getty
      Moshiri claimed last week that he is not planning to cash out but SunSport understands he made it clear almost a year ago to potential investors that he would go for the right price.
      And we can reveal that price after being made aware of documents listing details that are in circulation.
      Moshiri is understood to want £350m for the club — plus the clearance of one of the club’s loans, totalling £150m.
      What’s more the new buyer would have to come up with a further £300m to complete the construction of Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Moshiri bought his 94 per cent stake in the Toffees for £200m.
      It was thought that he had also given £250m in loans but SunSport believes the club currently owe him £100m more.
      So his total investment amounts to £550m but by selling he would recoup only a maximum of £350m — £250m if they are relegated.
      Dropping a division means he would stare at a loss of £300m for walking away and not calling in the personal loans.

      The investment of a new owner could be much higher still because it is based on a supposed “lock-in” build price of £500m that was thought to be in place with the builders, Laing O’Rourke.
      Yet Moshiri — a chartered accountant — suggested somebody within his beleaguered board had their sums wrong.
      The stadium set-price was announced nine months ago, CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale claiming: “We are able to lock in construction costs, while also benefiting from Laing O’Rourke’s economies of scale in what is an ever-fluctuating marketplace.”
      Yet in the days before Saturday’s 2-0 defeat by West Ham that marked the end of Frank Lampard’s reign, the beleaguered supremo told talkSPORT the final price would be close to £760m.
      So far it is understood that only £200m has been invested in the 52,888-seater ground.
      Moshiri has been searching in vain for new investors for months and now knows that if the club is sold he will take the biggest personal hit of any club owner in the Premier League era.
      Last week he told Everton’s Fan Advisory Board: “The club is not for sale, I’ve been talking to top investors of real quality to bridge the gap on the stadium.”
      Yet as he scratches around for a new manager, he is still to find any major money men willing to help fund a club that has lost £372m in the last three years. More

      The Toffees are in need of reinforcements and have already seen one major transfer target fall by the wayside.
      Arnaut Danjuma had a medical at the club and was expected to sign, only for Tottenham to swoop in and hijack the deal.
      Now the Toffees have switched their attentions to the former Stoke City and West Ham star along with another forward, according to the Daily Mail.
      This season the 33-year-old has been in good form in Italy, netting eight goals in 16 appearances for Bologna.

      Manchester United was interested in signing the forward in the summer.
      But a move failed to materialise after fan backlash to the proposed transfer.
      When asked about the transfer in August, Arnautovic told a press conference: “The market is the market.
      “I’ve been in the world of football for many years and I know there could be clubs interested during the transfer window.

      “But now I am focused on Bologna.”
      If a deal to Goodison Park comes off, Everton will be hoping he will be able to help fire them to Premier League safety.
      The report also states that Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech, on the other hand, will not be moving to the club.
      Recently axed boss Frank Lampard was a fan of the Moroccan winger, but following his exit, interest is now believed to have cooled.

      Danjuma, 25, had already had a medical on Merseyside at the weekend.

      Tottenham’s transfer business is not over, though as they are also confident of signing Sporting Lisbon full-back Pedro Porro.
      SunSport understands that following talks between both clubs over the past two days, an agreement is close to being reached to meet that figure this window.

      Although it is thought that Everton are aiming for a fee in the region of £60m.

      This could be a big boost for the Toffees as Gordon could help them in their battle to beat the drop, with the club currently sitting 19th in the Premier League table.

      Danjuma was believed to have undergone a medical with the Goodison Park side at the weekend.
      But with the paperwork yet to be signed off, Spurs have made an approach at the 11th hour to steal the winger on loan from under Everton’s noses.

      Danjuma has Premier League experience having joined Bournemouth the summer preceding the season the Cherries were relegated to the Championship.
      He excelled in the second tier, netting 15 goals in 33 league appearances, which landed him a switch to Villarreal in January 2021.

      He hit ten La Liga goals last term but fell down the pecking order this season at the Yellow Submarine, who are willing to farm him out.
      Lagos-born Danjuma, who has six goals and two goals for the Netherlands, revealed to SunSport in 2020 how he was mistakenly arrested on suspicion of attempted murder while walking through Bournemouth city centre in March of that year.
      Should Spurs snatch Danjuma from under Everton’s nose, it’ll be another blow for the Toffees, who are on the search for a new manager.
      Frank Lampard was sacked on Monday have his team won just one in their last 14 games, and Saturday’s 2-0 loss to West Ham was the final nail in his coffin.

      He led Villarreal to three successive European finishes during his three years at the helm until 2016.

      Defeat at the London Stadium has left the Merseysiders with a record of just one win in their last 12 league matches.
