Everton add Norgaard as Moyes is urged to get time
Everton still have a problem position despite summer backing for David Moyes, with a player ready to finalise terms once clubs agree a deal.
Everton U21s beat Bolton 4-2 in a behind-closed-doors pre-season friendly against a senior-laden Wanderers side.
Four key areas Everton need to address in the final week of pre-season.
Everton have cooled interest in Alistair Johnston after failing to meet Celtic’s £15m-plus asking price. David Moyes is now exploring other right-back options despite the player’s interest.
Bologna have rejected Everton’s €30m bid for Jonathan Rowe and will not negotiate further. The winger is considered unavailable unless offers reach €55m-€60m.
Everton have made contact over Lyon midfielder Pavel Šulc, who drew Premier League interest after an 18-goal-contribution season. No official offers have yet been made.
Anders Limpar says Everton should target Celtic's Benjamin Nygren and believes he can 'make that step now' as links with Alistair Johnston continue.
Everton are preparing a second bid for Barış Alper Yılmaz after Galatasaray rejected €35m. Tottenham are also preparing an offer, with the Turkish club demanding €50m.
Everton confirm the £7m signing of midfielder Christian Norgaard from Arsenal, adding experience to David Moyes' squad.
Tony Pulis says Christian Norgaard will be 'a great help' to Everton, but urges fans to give David Moyes time to build his team.
Everton are among the clubs interested in free agent Krépin Diatta after his Monaco deal expired. Schalke, Ipswich and Marseille are also in the running for the Senegal winger.
Al-Hilal still prioritise Iliman Ndiaye, but talks are stalled by Everton’s high demands. A January move may be more likely, while Ndiaye’s father says he is 'not going anywhere'.
