Everton

Alex Iwobi is revelling in the prestige of making his 100th appearance for Everton during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

While at the Emirates Stadium, he made 149 appearances with the first of them coming in 2015 at 19 after he had graduated from the academy in North London. “The movements of the back three and the angles of trying to play through, especially in the early parts of the game, were really good. Iwobi celebrated his landmark appearance, publishing a photo on Twitter with the accompanying caption: “Honoured to have made 100 appearances for the Blues #UpTheToffees.”

Everton transfer news, rumours, gossip and speculation including updates on Scott McTominay, Mohammed Kudus, Ivan Toney and Adnan Januzaj.

The Blues, along with Leicester, Newcastle and West Ham, are said to be keen on a move for McTominay should he lose his spot in Erik ten Hag's starting line-up. It looked like it was going to be another disappointing defeat for Everton before the moment of brilliance from Gray and Pickford. After finishing as the team's top scorers in 2021-22, he has made a strong start to this season, under new manager Paul Tait, scoring four goals in the first three games. And, in the future, he hopes that will lead to first-team opportunities. He reports Gomez is eager to leave the La Liga outfit with Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach pushing for a move. A new contacts yesterday with #StadeRennais for the forward: the club could make an offer already in the next few hours. If Everton come in with the wages and the package, I could see him going there.” Fenerbahce are also reportedly keen on the player. European Sky Sports presenter Geletti Tweeted: “Everton are still looking for a new striker and in these last days there is growing interest in Serhou #Guirassy. Other avenues are not to be excluded in the event of failure." However it looks like a deal could still be done for the 32-year-old. The dialogue is not broken between the three parties.

Everton are “probably in pole position” to sign Southampton striker Che Adams, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor.

Everton manager, Frank Lampard, has showered encomiums on Alex Iwobi after the Nigerian impressed once again in Saturday's 1-1 home draw against.

Iwobi could have won it for Everton in stoppage time but his effort narrowly went over the crossbar.” “The movements of the back three and the angles of trying to play through, especially in the early parts of the game, were really good.” The Merseysiders are yet to record a win in the Premier League this season but the Nigerian has thrived in his new number 10 position.

Everton could save their season by selling Anthony Gordon and spending the profit on a striker this summer.

Now, Frank Lampard may need to take a significant risk over Anthony Gordon’s future at the club.

[more](https://www.sofascore.com/everton-nottingham-forest/osY) shots on goal and creating more big chances over the course of the game at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, yet again, Lampard’s side failed to take the game by the reins and deliver a crucial three points in their third game of the campaign with the need for a striker becoming even more glaringly obvious.

Football Insider has been told by Paul Robinson that James Tarkowksi and Conor Coady will be pivotal players for Everton both on and off the pitch.

“To have a character like Tarkowski in the dressing room is huge. “Conor Coady is also a massive signing for them. I think he’ll be a really big signing for them.

Alexander Iwobi has become a centurion at Everton on the strength of his impressive performances and consistency at Goodison Park, but IKENWA NNABUOGOR ...

Surely, he got a lot more to do for his country but then he got to continue pushing hard at Goodison Park to help him live up to massive expectations in his country’s colours. Ancelloti made Iwobi his new Toffees’ prince and handed him a licence to roam the park with full bragging rights and Iwobi was beginning to play less from the wings to concentrate more in the middle of park. It has been tough to step out of the big shadows of his uncle and former Super Eagles captain Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, but it appears Everton midfielder Alexander Iwobi is fast proving he could also be a king in his own right.

Everton could step up their search for a new striker, and they are expected to table an offer to Ligue 1 club Rennes for Serhou Guirassy.

But the Toffees are now set to submit a proposal to sign the forward, although Rennes’ asking price for the 26-year-old Ligue 1 striker is yet to be revealed. Guirassy could be the proper striker to fill the gap up front, at least until the return of Calvert-Lewin. And since they do not wish to hoard strikers, they could cash in on the 26-year-old frontman if the right offer arrives. Everton have been scouring the market for a new forward, but they have returned empty-handed so far. The latter’s absence has forced Frank Lampard to start the season without a recognised striker in games, despite having Salomon Rondon in his squad. The Guinean international is free to leave after the arrival of Arnaud Kalimuendo from PSG.

Everton manager Frank Lampard has his top priority transfer lined up this summer.

A journalist has tipped Everton to go back in for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye, despite having already signed Amadou Onana this summer.

Gueye is apparently keen to go back to Everton as he will pick up more game time there than in the French capital. They hope to find a solution to the transfer impasse. Gueye is now 32 so needs to prioritise playing regularly if he is to remain at a high level for another three or four years. Gueye is low in the PSG pecking order due to the arrival of new boss Christophe Galtier. The two teams were originally in discussions over a loan move. And the Belgian had an eventful debut, to say the least.

For some of the greatest players to expect them to be plundering goals at 21-22 is not always the norm. As Everton struggled to break through Forest on Saturday, Gordon fought hard to be the difference between the two sides but was repeatedly denied by Henderson. [We want to do some more](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/frank-lampard-makes-everton-transfer-24808069). I don’t think we were going to take us from where we were last season to where we ultimately want to be in one window. Anthony has a lot of strings to his bow and the goalscoring one will come." We are trying to do it in a considered way. His comments followed a match in which Everton had 19 shots but needed Gray's 89th minute goal to rescue the club's first point of the season. Speaking after the friendly defeat to Minnesota United in July, the Blues boss highlighted his squad had a "void" in attacking options. The most frustrating part for me is that it has run so long into the season, when you’re trying to prepare for games and there is all talk all the time about ins and outs and players, it can have an affect. But a striker has not been acquired and Lampard has been further hindered by what he described as a "freak" knee injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin just days before the start of the new Premier League campaign. Some of that starts with personnel. I’m happy with what we’ve done so far in the window for sure, in terms of some of the personnel, characters and quality that we brought in.

The highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder has attracted interest from Chelsea.

Alex Iwobi has expressed his delight after making his 100th appearance for Everton during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park.

“Some of the performances were very good and players like Tom Davies were integral in the way we were playing. “Those are the moments – when we were playing well and opening them up in that first 25 minutes – when it’s about getting that goal because then the game looks completely different.” “The movements of the back three and the angles of trying to play through, especially in the early parts of the game, were really good.
