Everton eye move for Zinchenko
LIVERPOOL forward Sadio Mane will travel to Germany on Tuesday ahead of his medical with Bayern Munich. The 30-year-old is expected to be unveiled on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena following his £35.1million transfer.
Liverpool will confirm Calvin Ramsay’s £6.5m signing from Aberdeen and Monaco, Atalanta and Lyon are keen on £17m-rated Japan international Takumi Minamino.
FULHAM are close to completing an £18million move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Palhinha at the start of a busy transfer period for the newly-promoted
London club.
Manager Marco Silva also wants a right-back, with West Ham’s Ryan Fredericks a potentially cheaper alternative than £15m-rated Neco Williams.
EVERTON are keen on 25-yearold Manchester City full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukraine international wants to play in midfield and Toffees’ boss Frank Lampard is keen to add greater creativity in the middle of the park.
Arsenal and West Ham are among other sides keen on Zinchenko, but a move to Everton would mean he could link up with compatriot Vitaliy Mykolenko and not have to relocate.
Zinchenko joined City in 2016 and has won nine major trophies at the club — four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four League Cups.
Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks is another option for Everton and has been mentioned as a possible makeweight in any transfer for Richarlison.
Winks, 26, has been at Tottenham for all of his career — playing 203 times for the club. He also has 10 England caps.
LEEDS are among the Premier League sides keen on Manchester City midfielder James McAtee.
The exciting 19-year-old, who was named the Premier League 2 player of the year, is also wanted by Southampton.
However, he could yet be used in negotiations between City and Leeds over the transfer of Kalvin Phillips.
City are expected to bid for 26-year-old Phillips, who is changing agents, and Leeds have an interest in a number of City’s rising stars including McAtee and defensive midfielder Romeo Lavia.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST have held talks with Union Berlin over a deal for former Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi, 24.
Forest are in talks with Mainz over a £10m-deal for centre back Moussa Niakhate and hope to bring in Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson on loan.
WEST HAM will confirm the signing of Nayef Aguerd from Rennes after he completed his medical at the club. Aguerd, 26, posted a farewell to Rennes supporters on social media yesterday ahead of his £25million transfer to the London Stadium club.
WATFORD have agreed an £8million deal to sell striker Cucho Hernandez to MLS side Columbus Crew. Final negotiations are taking place over the terms and structure of the transfer but the Colombian — who scored five goals in the Premier League last season — will be leaving the Hornets. Watford want Stoke’s Benik Afobe and Aston Villa’s Cameron Archer but face tough competition from West Brom and Sunderland for the Villa man.
