Everton lining up opening offer to beat Tottenham to ‘excellent’ midfielder who David Moyes loves

Everton are now just two games away from shifting their focus fully onto the summer transfer window.

It has been a long season for Everton who are looking to send Goodison Park off on a high on the weekend against Southampton.

David Moyes has worked his magic on the squad which he inherited back in January from the previous regime.

However, a lot of work needs to be done to take the quality of the squad to a new level this summer

Everton have a significant transfer budget set for the first time in a long while following the Friedkins’ takeover back in December.

Numerous players are still on course to leave Everton this summer with no new contract having been announced.

After meeting with the recruitment chiefs, Everton are looking to sign a new midfielder and there is one who they could now make a real push for.

Everton plotting move for Angel Gomes

Idrissa Gana Gueye is still yet to sign a new Everton contract and Abdoulaye Doucoure remains another potential departure.

Big changes could be set for the Toffees this summer but Everton are showing interest in Angel Gomes.

According to GiveMeSport, the Toffees are now preparing their move for the free agent who is eyeing a return to England.

It is not just the Blues who are in the race to land the England international, though.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are both keen to sign Gomes who is set to leave Lille this summer at the end of his deal.

The report even claims Moyes has approved the possible move for Gomes with the Scot a big admirer of the 24-year-old.

Gomes is demanding more than £100k-per-week to make a move this summer as he will not require a transfer fee.
