      How Everton could line up after transfer window with no Dele Alli or Anthony Gordon but three new signings

      by

      FRANK LAMPARD’S Everton side could boast a very different look after the transfer window.The Toffees have endured a rough start to the new Premier League campaign with two defeats and a draw so far.

      That sees the Merseysiders, who only narrowly avoided the drop last term, sit 17th – above the relegation zone because they have scored one more than Wolves.
      Things have not been helped by the injury to main striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaving Lampard short of strikers.
      So now the Goodison club are desperately scrambling to secure some business in the closing days of the summer – with the window closing on September 1.
      In order to fund new deals, the sale of Anthony Gordon to Chelsea could prove key.

      The Blues are set to go in with yet another bid – thought to be around £60million – for the winger, who has told his boyhood club he wants to leave.
      Also heading through the exit door is Dele Alli.
      The former Spurs man has failed to get his career reignited in the north-west and a move to Turkey with Besiktas looks set to get over the line.
      That would free up space and cash for Everton to bolster their squad.

      Newcastle ace Miguel Almiron is said to be near the top of the Toffees’ wishlist.
      The Toon could be tempted to sell the former club-record signing for the right place as the Paraguayan has struggled to light up St James’ as many hoped following his £20m 2019 arrival from Atalanta United.
      Almiron, 28, could play as one of the wide players in the attack of Lampard’s 4-3-3 with Joao Pedro on the other side.
      The Watford ace has been linked with Newcastle throughout the window.
      However, a deal is yet to be done between the two clubs and Everton could hijack the move in their pursuit of a forward.
      Pedro, 20, can play out wide or through the middle as the central striker.

      However, the No9 spot could be filled by Armando Broja, 20, in Calvert-Lewin’s absence.
      It is thought Everton will try and negotiate a player-plus-cash transfer with Chelsea for Gordon.
      And out-of-favour striker Broja – who excelled at Southampton last season – could be a suitable option.
      Another name linked with being included in the Gordon deal is Conor Gallagher.
      However, Thomas Tuchel has used the 22-year-old midfielder in all three games already this season so could be tempted to keep him – although there is also interest from West Ham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.
      Almiron and Pedro could displace in-form Demarai Gray and new-boy Dwight McNeil out wide with Broja preferred to Salomon Rondon.
      Alex Iwobi has been a standout player for Everton of late and is sure to keep his place in midfield, even with the possible arrival of Gallagher.
      Should the Chelsea star not join, though, big-money signing Amadou Onana will be hopeful of nailing down a starting spot soon.

      The wing-backs, Nathan Patterson and Vitaliy Mykolenko, are safe – as is goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
      The new back three is currently Mason Holgate, Conor Coady and James Tarkowski and could remain that way for the foreseeable future, especially with Ben Godfrey’s long-term absence.

      Dr Marsh MBE was a Toffees’ director from 1988-1997, the last six years as chairman.
      And Kenwright paid tribute on the club’s website, as other glowing messages came in.
      He said: “David was my Chairman, my supporter, my friend…and in many ways my hero.   
      “It’s been my privilege to meet several lovely people throughout my life – David Marsh was a beautiful man.”

      He also revealed a poignant exchange two weeks ago with Dr Marsh.
      Kenwright said: “Almost the last words he said to me at the Chelsea game were, ‘I worry about you Bill, you have to take some rest’.
      “I laughed and replied … ‘I want to be like you. You’re the healthiest near 90-year-old I’ve ever met’.  
      “We gave our customary goodbye hugs at the end of the game and, as always, he tried to cheer me up with something positive after a defeat. He was that kind of man, caring, sharing and an Evertonian.

      “He loved our club as he did his family and his beloved wife Katy.” 
      Dr Marsh had also been one of Britain’s most successful amateur golfers, playing 75 times for England.
      In 1971 he helped Great Britain and Ireland famously end 33 years of failing to beat the US in the Walker Cup with only their second victory ever.
      The two-time skipper in that event also won The English Amateur Championship twice.
      In 1990 Dr Marsh became captain of the world-famous Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrew’s. 
      And it was his outstanding contribution to amateur golf that won him an MBE. More

      ‘It’s a big gamble’ – Graeme Souness questions Chelsea’s £50m transfer pursuit of Everton star Anthony Gordon

      GRAEME SOUNESS labelled Chelsea’s pursuit of Anthony Gordon as a “gamble”.The Blues saw bids of £40million and £45m rejected by Everton.

      But they look set to go back in for a third time and hope a £50m offer will tempt the Toffees to sell the 21-year-old.
      However, former Liverpool hero Souness is far from convinced about the England Under-21 winger.
      He told talkSPORT: “It is a hell of a lot of money for a 21-year-old who’s played 50+ games.
      “I think the young man is promising.

      “But to spend £40m on someone who might not be a player is a big gamble.
      “I think Chelsea’s needs are in another area.
      “Chelsea need a goalscorer through the middle to put them away for fun.”
      Gordon joined the academy aged 11 following his release by Liverpool.

      He made his first-team debut way back in December 2017 and has now racked up 60 appearances for the Goodison club.
      All four of his senior goals came in last season’s Premier League campaign – including the winner in the 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
      He has started the new campaign playing up front under Frank Lampard due to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s injury.
      Similarly, Raheem Sterling – traditionally a winger – has led the line for Chelsea, supported by Kai Havertz and Mason Mount.

      The Blues also have Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Armando Broja and Michy Batshuayi on the books at Stamford Bridge.
      Romelu Lukaku, though, was loaned to Inter Milan while Timo Werner returned to RB Leipzig.
      Their three goals this season have been scored by a Jorginho penalty and defenders Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James.

      Dele Alli set to complete Besiktas loan transfer ‘within hours’ with Everton midfielder having £6m option to buy in deal

      by

      DELE ALLI is set to complete his loan move to Besiktas within hours, according to reports. The Everton midfielder, 26, only arrived at Goodison from Tottenham in January hoping to revive his career.

      However, he has started just once under Frank Lampard and has slipped further down the pecking order following the arrival of Amadou Onana.
      And now it is understood the former England star is closing in on a move abroad for the first time.
      It was reported earlier in the week Besiktas were interested in landing Dele on loan for the season.
      Now Foot Mercato state a deal is virtually done with a £6million option to make the switch permanent.

      Dele is said to be “very keen” on the change of scene in Turkey and the chance to return to the kind of form that saw him crowned the two-time PFA Young Player of the Year and earn 36 caps.
      He has had little effect at Everton and is yet to register a goal or assist in 13 appearances.
      Just 38 minutes of action across the first two Premier League matches of the new campaign has compounded the Englishman’s frustrations at his lack of game time.
      It was reported earlier this month that Lampard was considering putting Alli into the team while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is sidelined with an injury.
