With Tottenham hijacking Everton’s deal for Arnaut Danjuma, the Toffees are now having to look elsewhere when it comes to bolstering their front line.
The Dutchman was meant to provide speed and skill on the wing at Goodison Park, but the club’s decision to sack Frank Lampard when they did seemed to cause him to have second doubts, which led to them all but losing out on the transfer.
That’s why we are seeing Everton scramble around a bit, with names such as Bamba Dieng and now Kalmadeen Sulemana being mentioned as alternatives.
L’Equipe in France bring the latest on the Rennes forward’s situation, and explain that the Ligue 1 side have already turned down two offers for their player, one from PSV Eindhoven and the other from Southampton.
Rennes have told Sulemana’s entourage that they want him to stay, but ‘it isn’t certain that this is a shared desire’.
The Ghana international hasn’t exactly been used that much, and his situation is ‘bringing him today to consider an exit’.
This is when Everton are mentioned, as besides PSV and their Premier League counterparts, the Toffees are ‘among clubs interested by his arrival’, with it specifically stated that he would be an option ‘in case of the failure of the avenue leading to Arnaut Danjuma’.
