      He was an integral part of Everton’s top flight survival last term, starting in every single match.
      But according to talkSPORT, Sean Dyche is open to selling Iwobi and Fulham are “in advanced talks” with the club.
      The playmaker has only one year left on his deal and the recent signings of Arnaut Danjuma and Jack Harrison look to have opened the door to an exit.
      Iwobi joined Everton from Arsenal in a £40million move in 2019.

      He spent four senior seasons with the Gunners after graduating from their academy and being given a debut by Arsene Wenger.
      And managerial icon Wenger once hailed Iwobi as an “unbelievable” talent after he broke into Arsenal’s squad.
      He said in 2017: “I think Alex is a player who grows regularly.
      “This season, for the first time he’s adding what we want from him – goals – to his qualities, which are exceptional.

      “Overall I think he has a good attitude and now he becomes efficient in front of goal as well.
      “This kind of experiences like the one against Argentina will help him even more to grow.
      “He’s worked a lot on his finishing and he’s improved a lot. Compared to one year ago, the difference in unbelievable.”

      He scored ten goals and registered one assist in 33 league appearances last season.
      It’s been a rags to riches story for the Portuguese striker, who told DAZN last summer that he was forced to work a second job while playing for amateur Lisbon side Tires in 2018.
      He said: “I was training with Tires and working in Portugal, it was a nice life. I was working at KFC. It was good.”
      Beto began his ascent to the Premier League by leaving Tires to join third division Portuguese side Clube Olimpico Monjito.

      It was at Monjito that he was noticed by Liga NOS side Portimonense and after just a year of playing in the third tier found himself playing in Portugal’s highest division.
      Asked by DAZN how he feels walking past a KFC now he is a fully-fledged pro, he said: “Nothing special, but when I return home, I always go to that KFC to visit my friends.
      “I’ve always believed I could have become a footballer. I wanted to become a professional football player.
      “My team-mates didn’t believe it, maybe just two of them. They were telling me: ‘Beto, it’s hard, it’s impossible.’ Then I joined Portimonense and they changed their mind.”

      Beto will join Portuguese compatriot and fellow striker Youssef Chermiti at Everton, who signed for £12m from Sporting earlier this month.
      Toffees boss Sean Dyche was desperate to reinforce his forward line this summer after his strikers proved particularly blunt in front of goal last season.
      Neal Maupay managed just one goal in 27 appearances and an injury hit Dominic Calvert Lewin scored just two goals in his 17 outings.
      Calvert Lewin’s injury woe continued when he suffered a horror eye injury against Aston Villa in Everton’s second game.
      Everton are yet to score a goal this season, so Toffees fans will be desperate for Beto to make an instant impact. More

      But former England keeper McCarthy could be available on a free transfer.
      One-cap McCarthy, 33, is now one of the top earners at Southampton following James Ward-Prowse’s move to West Ham.
      Despite the former Crystal Palace man having two years left on his deal, it is understood the Saints could allow him to leave for nothing in order to clear his wages.
      McCarthy is now firmly second choice to Gavin Bazunu at St Mary’s.

      However, he did play the final six games of the Premier League campaign last year as the club were relegated.
      Everton face competition from McCarthy’s former club, Crystal Palace.
      The Eagles are keen on a move after Vicente Guaita’s refusal to play for the first team as the Spaniard pushes for a move away from Selhurst Park.

      Man Utd ‘want £50m-rated Everton star as Sofyan Amrabat alternative as transfer talks for Fiorentina midfielder stall’

      MANCHESTER United are reportedly considering a shock move to sign Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.The 21-year-old is seen as an alternative to Sofyan Amrabat after transfer talks with Fiorentina have stalled.

      The Belgian youngster was one of Everton’s top performers during a troublesome campaign in 2022-23. 
      Onana made 33 appearances for the club as they narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship.
      And according to the Daily Mail, United chiefs believe he would be a great option if they cannot land Amrabat from Fiorentina.
      Transfer negotiations have stalled between United and Amrabat, amid interest from Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

      Amrabat caught the eye of Europe’s elite during Morocco’s trip to the semi-finals of the Qatar World Cup. 
      But United are at risk of missing out on the star, as they must sell a few players to fund the move.
      As such, Atletico are now emerging as the frontrunners to land the 26-year-old midfielder.
      This has forced the Red Devils to look at Onana as an alternative midfield signing.

      The report does not mention how much Onana might cost Man Utd to sign. 
      Although, sources have previously put his valuation at around the £50m mark.
      Whereas, Fiorentina want around £30million for the 26-year-old Moroccan international, who has one year left on his contract.
      Everton are already looking at bringing in a replacement for Onana and Blackburn’s rising star Adam Wharton is in their sights.
      Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag remains keen to further bolster his midfield this summer, having already landed Mason Mount in a £60million deal from Chelsea.
      United midfielder Fred is due to arrive at Fenerbahce ahead of his £13m move, while Donny van de Beek has been linked with Real Sociedad.
      Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay could follow them out of Old Trafford in the coming days. More

      The Serie A outfit demand a whopping £86million to let the striker go but the Red Devils insist they won’t go over £60m.
      However, Atalanta appear to be preparing for life without the Denmark international as they are close to landing Almeria star El Bilal Toure.
      According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the two sides reached an agreement on Monday and Gian Piero Gasperini’s side wants to sign Toure by the end of the day.

      This poses as a major transfer blow for Everton, who held advanced talks with the 21-year-old over the weekend.
      United will be hoping that helps their bid to land Holjlund, who is very keen to move to Old Trafford and has agreed personal terms with the club.

      “The only thing I can say is we’ll do everything in our power to get it done.
      “If it was up to me, yeah, as soon as possible, the earlier the better, because we have to integrate him in the team and the way we play.
      “In an ideal situation, he was already here. But you do not always get ideal situations as a manager and you have to deal with the situation.” More

      Rooney, who played with Sigurdsson for one season at Everton from 2017, is currently in charge at DC United.
      Iceland international Sigurdsson, 33, left Everton last June when his contract expired and has not played since.

      But Rooney said: “The Jesse Lingard [rumour]?
