Everton secure second summer transfer with highly-rated striker to arrive next week
The Toffees are also keen to sign a new winger and sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk that they have held talks with Newcastle star Yankuba Minteh.
Everton were close to tying up a deal for Minteh before Newcastle’s move for Calvert-Lewin collapsed. Lyon have now bid £40m for the 19-year-old.
However, while the French club have met the Magpies’ valuation of Minteh reports suggest that he’s ‘rejected’ the transfer because he’s already ‘agreed terms’ with Everton.
It will be interesting to see whether the Merseyside club make a bid for him if they do sell Godfrey in the coming days.
Their priority is avoiding a breach of PSR though and £40m for Minteh may still be out of reach for now, with Newcastle also keen to sell before
Sunday.
