Wednesday’s Liverpool Echo speculates Everton may be interested in signing Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye.

The Senegal international, who joined the Potters for a reported £14million in January 2018, spent last season on loan at Turkish side Galatasaray.

The local read also carries quotes from Toffees striker Cenk Tosun, who has revealed his recovery from a knee injury is “getting better and better”.

Tosun suffered the injury while on international duty with Turkey in May.

"Now, it’s time to work hard. I’ve already started indoor workouts," he told Bein Sports Turkey. “My injury is getting better and better. I will start working in the middle of July.”

The Daily Express suggests Everton are in the market for a new centre forward following the departure of Sandro Ramirez on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old has joined La Liga side Real Valladolid for the 2019-20 campaign

Regional paper The Luton News, meanwhile, reports that Everton defender Brendan Galloway could complete a move to Championship side Luton Town.
