OUTLOOK FOR EVERTON IS BLUE & GRAY
HOWARD WEBB believes video assistant referees will help to win the war on diving in English football.
RONALD KOEMAN is targeting Burnley’s Andre Gray as he reshapes Everton’s attack.
Koeman is signing Spain Under-21 striker Sandro Ramirez from Malaga and is also considering Gray, who hit 10 goals last season.
The 25-year-old, who was playing non-league football with Luton three years ago, has one year left on his contract at Turf Moor. Burnley paid Brentford £6million for Gray (above) two years ago and would want around £10m for him.
Blues, favourites to land Burnley centre-half Michael Keane, could raise cash by selling out-of-favour striker Oumar Niasse to Premier League new boys Brighton or Huddersfield for around £10m. If Huddersfield decide against a bid for Niasse, they will move for Montpellier’s coveted striker Steve Mounie.
Town are prepared to offer a club-record £11.5m for the 22-year-old Benin international Mounie, who scored 15 goals last season.
But Terriers striker Nahki Wells is, in turn, an £8m target for Burnley.
