Everton name price for striker

The Turkish media have claimed that Everton forward Henry Onyekuru will cost Bayern Munich a staggering €40m.

According to Fanatik, Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has telephoned his opposite number at Everton, Marcel Brands, regarding the striker.

This news would indicate that the Toffees have a willingness to keep hold of the 21-year-old, who is performing well with Galatasaray.

It could all come down to whether or not the Nigerian can obtain a work permit to play in England.

If he is refused once again then Marco Silva and Everton would be wise to cash in.

Interest in leading goalscorer

Richarlison signed for Everton from Watford last summer for a hefty £50 million, according to the BBC.

He netted his 13th goal of the 2018/19 campaign during the 2-0 win over Chelsea yesterday and interest is set for the summer.

According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are keen on landing the youngster when the transfer window reopens.

The report does suggest that Everton would like to make £10 million profit on the man they only signed last summer.

It remains to be seen whether the £60 million valuation would, therefore, put the Italian giants off.

Goalkeeper reveals why Everton beat Chelsea

Everton and England stopper Jordan Pickford has credited boss Marco Silva’s rousing team-talk as the reason the Toffees defeated Chelsea at Goodison Park.

The goalless scoreline flattered Everton at half time with Chelsea having missed several strong chances to edge in front.

Pickford who has come under-fire himself in recent weeks believes Silva was the catalyst for the win.

He told the club’s official website: “The manager told us we were in a great position for the second half, that if you don’t play well but you are 0-0, it is a great stepping stone.

“We came back out flying. It was a great start to the second half and after we scored the first goal we developed some momentum.”
