Everton hope Edinson Cavani will be part of their new manager’s attack next season.

Everton are preparing to launch another bid for Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani this summer. The star was the subject of repeated interest from United last summer before joining.

Cavani has made a flying start to life in the Premier League, scoring goals and adding assists in his first season of senior football in England.

He has not quite matched those impressive numbers this campaign, though the striker has been hampered by a muscle injury that kept him out of Uruguay’s March internationals.

And Everton are expected to go back in for Cavani in the upcoming transfer window, having had their previous efforts thwarted last year.

Their attack has lacked a regular right-winger, with Richarlison unable to make the position his own.

The non-international played poorly in what was his first Premier League start since the 1-0 win against West Ham on 14 March.

Their attempts to sign him last summer were halted by the asking price, which was in excess of £100m, according to 90min.

The Goodison Park outfit, finishing way behind rivals Liverpool in the Premier League, did not feel splashing out such an astronomical sum would be appropriate given the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.

Joachim Andersen looks likely to be one of Tottenham’s defensive reinforcements this summer, regardless of who the new boss is.

Tottenham Hotspur obviously haven’t yet hired their new manager yet, and because of that the usual bonkers amount of transfer rumors we usually have is a lot lower so far. However, one name that continually rises to the surface is Lyon’s Joachim Andersen, who spent the season on loan at Fulham quietly enjoying a very good year.

Good news if you’re an Andersen stan: things are looking good in that regard. Here’s super-twitter journo Fabrizio Romano on the continued links between Spurs and the Danish international:

It’s unlikely Andersen will cost that much, though Daniel Levy will still have to negotiate with his evil French twin, Jean-Michel Aulas. That won’t necessarily be fun, but they eventually got the Tanguy Ndombele transfer over the line two summers ago so I feel pretty confident about this one too. By all accounts Andersen is a solid young defender playing for a pretty crappy Fulham team, but he’s only 24 and has a pretty high ceiling. Spurs have been tracking him for a while now but according to Fabrizio they’re not his only suitors.

I suppose there’s a slim chance that they could lose out Joachim if they dink around too much on the managerial appointment side of things, but with that hopefully squared away within a week or so I’d expect that we’ll see some transfer stuff — and a bunch more rumors — before too long.

Hans Schmitzel is said to be highly rated by Daniel Levy. Is it only a matter of time?

The 31-year-old midfielder of Hansa Rostock is, reportedly, the number one target in Daniel Levy’s chase for a creative midfielder.

Hailing originally from the unfortunately-named town of Kuntzow, Schmitzel has never been capped for Germany- but he did play briefly in the German second-tier for FC Kaiserslautern, coming on as a substitute after Janköw Fuchsel was struck by lightning in a freak accident.

Schmitzel will 90% be a Spurs player next season.

Various sources suggest that Levy has offered a swap deal to the Rostock club, with Moussa Sissoko said to be in the fray, and, as per the Football World Podcast: “Schmitzel will 90% be a Spurs player next season.”
