£30M Toffee Bid Rejected For Winger? | Everton News Daily

According to reports today coming out of Scotland Everton have cooled their interest in Celtic fullback Alistair Johnston. That is according to the Daily Record today. They cite Celtic's asking price as a reason why Everton haven't submitted a bid for the 27-year-old Canadian international. Johnston did play for Celtic in their 1-0 win over Dundee and is expected to be in the squad for their game at the weekend. Everton are exploring a number of opportunities for other right-backs to come in. Johnston was thought to be one of a few who Everton are running the rule over. But yeah, that's coming out of Scotland today that Everton have cooled their interest in him. Listen, we'll see what happens. It could easily be solved, couldn't it? If Celtic, you know, drop in their price or Everton decide to pay it. But as for now, that's what the the story is today. Obviously, we did Everton interested in Ridle Baku. That was yesterday or the day before. So there are other options as well. Everton have been linked with Wan-Bissaka. They've been linked with Broke Norton Coffee. Obviously, Doucoure was was probably the number one target, but he looks to be moving elsewhere. So there has been a number of links to fullbacks. Johnston being one of them. And staying with fullbacks, Everton today been linked with a move for Krepin Diatta who left Monaco on June the 30th. He was away at the World Cup. He played four times for Senegal at the World Cup. He can play right-back, left-back, right-wing, and left-wing. Diatta, he played 20 times last season for Monaco at fullback getting one assist. He is quick, hard-working player as well. So interesting he's out of contract. That's the link today. Schalke and Ipswich Town also credited with an interest in the free agent. And according to the Italian press, today Bologna rejected an offer of 30 million pounds for winger Jonathan Rowe from Everton. Take this maybe with a pinch of salt, but there has certainly been a lot of rumors around Everton being interested in Rowe. He featured 28 times last season scoring three goals and registering two assists. Those rumors were sort of I'd say they were stronger 10 days ago when there was a lot of uncertainty over Iliman Ndiaye. Now Ndiaye has returned to training to Everton's camp in Germany and it's thought he'll play some part in Everton's game against Stuttgart at the weekend. So, he's still an Everton player. Everton still have him under contract for another 3 years. So, I guess until someone comes in and tests Everton's resolve with a bid for Ndiaye, you know, David Moyes will be planning to have Ndiaye for this season. Rowe may well be on another list um for when sort of, you know, if Ndiaye does move on. But, I do find it difficult to believe we'd bid 30 million pounds for the player, especially when Everton are still trying to or still hopeful of bringing Jack Grealish back to the club for next season. So, that's coming out of Italy today as well. Um and one more bit of transfer news about an out going and that is that RB Leipzig are expected to have representation at Stuttgart via Everton at the weekend to run the rule over Everton winger Tyler Dibling. They have apparently made him one of their top choices to replace Dayot Upamecano when he moves to Real Madrid. Although, this winger was still training with Leipzig, but that does look like it's going to happen. Does look like he is going to go off to Madrid and Tyler Dibling has been identified as his replacement. Um Leipzig do have a brilliant record with young players developing them and then selling them on for higher. They were very interested in Sekou Koïta. They're very interested in Tyler Dibling. RB Leipzig want something that Evertonians haven't really seen. Who knows, but you know, there is a clear interest there. They were interested in him taking him last summer, but Everton beat them to the signing of Dibling. So, again, it's in the same thing. Are they going to make an offer? Are they going to try and see if they could take him on loan? Is that something Everton would be open to? Um, we just need to see a bit more. I think he is He's got lots of talent, Tyler. We just need to see him come on out. Um, if Everton were to let him go, you'd imagine you'd want to bring someone in. And then obviously, if I were to say I was to go with me, you'd almost mean you need two right wingers coming in as well as Jack Harrison on the other side. Feels like a lot of work to do in the sort of final three and a half weeks of the year the transfer window, but Everton have still got a lot of work to do anyway in that without adding to it. So, I don't know whether Everton have got any intention of letting Dibling go out the door, but apparently, RB Leipzig will have representation at the game at the weekend. And finally, Everton have announced that new signing Christian Nørgaard will wear the number 23 shirt. Uh, Nørgaard who finalized his deal yesterday, uh, was taking over from club captain Séamus Coleman who left the club in June. Uh, he said it'd be an honor to wear the shirt of an Everton legend. He did stress he's a different player, but said he will give his all to honor the shirt uh, left by Séamus Coleman, as he called him, which is which I loved that. I loved that. But, uh, yeah, listen, uh, a lot of people have highlighted they feel like it's just a little bit too soon. That shirt's still warm from Séamus walking out the door. I mean, technically, he never wore that shirt, so there you go. But, um, yeah, listen, someone's got to wear it sometimes, haven't they? And Christian Nørgaard is the man to do that for this season, so good luck to him. Um and I wonder we will find out soon, I'm sure, what Shay Given is going to do. You know, there there was a lot of links with Coventry. He was training with Sheffield United. There was Hull City linked to him. There's well still no sort of indication on what his career will hold moving forward. But, good luck to him, whatever it is. That is it for the news day.
