With Jarrad Branthwaite potentially leaving Everton this summer, a top-quality replacement will be needed to be lined up, and Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof has been backed to move there, possibly heading in the opposite direction to the England international.
Everton close to “total agreement” with “unplayable” ace
In light of a potential summer transfer to Goodison Park, a fresh offer has been made for Marseille attacker Ndiaye, who was not successful in his previous attempt to sign with the Blues.
