Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Diego Mascardi

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Everton have done the hard part with Spezia, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Everton baulk at the price for Axel Tape

Bayer Leverkusen wanted more than $8.1M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market

Everton say no — this time

The offer from Millwall for Harry Clarke was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

An offer of $2.1M for Stavros Gavriel

Everton have gone to Millwall with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

Only the photograph left for Paik Seung-Ho

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Paik Seung-Ho will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Everton the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Everton

Jordan Pickford and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Luca Davis signs for Oxford United while still at Everton

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Luca Davis has agreed terms with Oxford United for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market

Anthony Elanga has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Everton can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

A row about effort at Everton

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nico González was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

In brief
