Exclusive: Everton pull Calvert-Lewin U-turn after new twist

A takeover would have given Everton the ability to renew Calvert-Lewin’s contract, with his current deal set to expire in under 12 months.

But with the deal collapsing, sources say an exit for the England international this summer is now a real possibility – with club chiefs set to pull a U-turn on accepting offers for his services.

Everton are desperate not to let Calvert-Lewin run down the remainder of his contract and leave the club for free next year.

Jackson Tchatchoua can replace Seamus Coleman at Everton

The club’s pursuit of Tchatchoua as a potential replacement for Seamus Coleman seems to be facing stiff competition.

However, Everton must act quickly and decisively to secure Tchatchoua’s services.

With Rennes already submitting an offer and other clubs also interested, the Toffees cannot afford to hesitate.

The Merseyside outfit should make a competitive offer that not only matches Rennes’ bid but also demonstrates their commitment to strengthening the squad.
