      Although that would need a serious offer to make it happen.
      On top of his eight strikes in the Championship, Cannon has hit seven goals in Premier League 2 for the Toffees Under 21 side.
      He also added five goals in as many games in the EFL Trophy.
      Injuries have kept Calvert-Lewin sidelined for much of the season, limiting him to 16 league games.

      Everton 0 Man City 3: Gundogan’s stunning double keeps Champions marching to title with easy win over toiling Toffees

      IF Ilkay Gundogan is going to leave Manchester City this summer he is determined to bow out in style.The club captain is out of contract in the summer but is on a mission to lead them to a fifth title in the past six seasons.

      Last week he got both goals in the win against Leeds before also missing a late penalty – and he was at it again at Goodison.
      Gundogan struck two beauties – one each side of the interval – and also teed up Erling Haaland to nod in his 52nd goal of the season.
      The Germany international waited until the final 14 minutes of the campaign to decide the title race 12 months ago with his two late goals against Aston Villa.
      This year he is doing everything in his power to make sure the battle with Arsenal doesn’t go the distance.

      Pep Guardiola made four changes as he looks to juggle his option ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League return with Real Madrid.
      And despite City having almost all the possession, Everton coped well with the champions for the opening 35 minutes and actually had the clearest chance.
      James Tarkowski headed down a Dwight McNeil corner and Mason Holgate couldn’t wrap his foot around the loose ball at the back post.
      City had been restricted to long-range efforts but then clicked into gear in devastating fashion during the final 10 minutes of the half.

      Riyad Mahrez swung over a cross from the right and Gundogan did well just to control it on his thigh – so what followed was truly special.
      With his back to goal, he flicked a right-foot volley into the corner and beyond the despairing dive of Pickford.
      The club captain – making his 300th appearance for the club – wasn’t finished there though and two minutes later he helped take the game further away from the Toffees.
      Foden sent the German international away down the left and he hung up a delicious cross for Haaland to nod beyond Pickford.
      It was only the Norwegian’s third touch of the game – but as is so often the case, he only needs one to make his mark.
      It was his 52nd goal of the season – and this one at the home of the Toffees legend Dixie Dean – who scored a top flight record of 63 some 95 years ago.
      For an Everton side who have scored more than one in a home game just once this season, it looked like a long way back.
      Ilkay Gundogan was the star of the show at GoodisonCredit: PA
      When star striker Dominic Calvert Lewin failed to re-appear for the second half, it looked even an even bigger mountain to climb.
      And within six minutes of the re-start, they knew the game was up as Foden was fouled on the edge of the box by James Garner.
      City had options but it was the skipper who stepped up and floated a delightful 20-yard curler past Pickford.
      Everton could have caved in but know goal difference could yet be decisive in their bid to beat the drop so kept at it.
      They could even have pulled one back as Tarkowski’s header was pushed onto the bar by Ederson while Yerry Mina nodded another one over the bar.

      Their battle to hang onto the top-flight status they have had since 1951 hangs in the balance.
      Meanwhile, City know five points from their final three Prem matches will be enough for a third straight crown. More

      Yerry Mina ‘to leave Everton on free transfer after club make no effort to renew his contract’

      by

      YERRY MINA is reportedly set to leave Everton from free after the club failed to offer him a new contract.That’s despite the fit-again defender looking back to his best in struggling Toffees’ crucial 5-1 win over Brighton on Monday.

      Everton fans raved about the Mina’s influence on the side in his first game since January, and only the fourth in the Premier League this season.
      But club chiefs seemingly remain unconvinced with bosses said to have decided not to enter talks with the 28-year-old over extending his £120,000-a-week deal.
      Journalist Pipe Sierra tweeted: “Yerry Mina (28) will not continue in #Everton . From the club there was no effort to renew his contract that ends in June of this year.”
      He added: “The defender is already listening to offers from other leagues.

      “In principle, the Colombian’s desire is to continue in Europe; despite other interests.”
      Mina cost the Toffees nearly £27million when he arrived from Barcelona back in 2018.
      However, the Colombian international has suffered a number of injuries throughout his time at Goodison Park.
      Mina has missed most of the campaign with Everton due to an ankle injury with James Tarkowski and Conor Coady being first-choice at the back.

      And cash-strapped Toffees are considering signing on-loan Coady permanently should they beat the drop – with the defender likely to come cheaper than Mina.
      Brazilian clubs Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras have both been linked with Mina over recent months.
      The South American ace has only made 83 appearances for the Merseyside outfit in the top-flight.
      And only four of them have come this term.
      However, boss Sean Dyche did hand him his first appearance since January against the Seagulls last night as he started at the back.
      Now Mina will be desperate for more action when Everton take on Man City this Sunday. More

      The friendly took place at Everton’s training complex Finch Farm.
      But home comforts were not able to help them swerve embarrassment from a 1-0 defeat to Chester.
      And this is despite fielding a team containing EIGHT first-team stars.
      Among them was Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was stepping up his recovery following a hamstring injury.

      The 26-year-old has not featured since February 4, and has been plagued with injury throughout the last two seasons.
      This season alone he missed the entirety of November and December, while also not making his first appearance of the campaign until October.
      Dyche will be happy his main striker has stepped up his recovery with the Toffees Prem survival hanging in the balance.
      However, the result itself will be disappointing considering the involvement of a number of senior stars.

      Sean Dyche’s side are only separated from the relegation zone on goal difference, with the threat of relegation ahead of their final season at Goodison Park a very real one.
      Fans have protested against owner Moshiri this season, having witnessed the way their club has fallen since his 2016 arrival.
      According to Sky Sports, the Iranian is very much aware of how the supporters feel, and is doing what he can to address the club’s problems.
      They add that he is close to securing new investment, and that despite the lingering threat of relegation, Everton’s new 52,888 capacity Bramley Moore Dock stadium will be fully funded.

      Following the new investment, there will be significant changes at the top of the club, with a potential board reshuffle to follow.
      While fans will hope to see significant investment in the team, with Moshiri feeling “let down” by recruitment in recent years.
      Due to being hamstrung by Financial Fair Play regulations, Everton spent just £1.7million in the summer of 2021, signing Demarai Gray.
      They subsequently forked out £29m on Vitaliy Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson in January 2022.

      This season, the sales of Richarlison, Moise Kean and Anthony Gordon have helped ease the financial pressures on the club.
      Everton have spent £85.5m on the likes of Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil, Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, Neal Maupay and James Tarkowski, while recouping £135m in sales.
      On the Toffees’ spending since his sacking, unpopular former boss Rafael Benitez told the Telegraph: “After my time there they have invested a lot of money again and they have the squad to get out of relegation.
      “The fans were decisive last year and they can be again this year.”
      Everton travel to in-form Crystal Palace this weekend before a mid-week Goodison assignment against Newcastle.
      They then face relegation rivals Leicester at the King Power and high-flying Brighton at the Amex, ahead of a tricky clash with title-chasing Manchester City at home.
      Their last two games see them face Wolves away, before a final day Goodison showdown with Bournemouth.
