The website Inside Futbol claims Everton are eyeing a move for Yuri Alberto, the Brazilian striker who plays for Internacional in his homeland.
Alberto, 20, swapped Santos for Internacional in summer 2020 and has 11 goals in 25 Serie A starts this season.
Everton and Manchester City have both “made enquiries”, according to the report, which suggests the two Premier League clubs are joined in the hunt for Alberto by Atletico Madrid, Lyon, Roma and Napoli. AC Milan, it is said, have tabled a €10m bid for the player.
Cyle Larin’s name consistently surfaced in connection with Everton over the summer.
And haber365 in Turkey rekindles those rumours by featuring news of striker Larin reportedly rebuffing a new contract offer from Besiktas.
The Istanbul club are supposedly aware of the 26-year-old’s desire to play in the Premier League and Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are mentioned as likely suitors for a player whose current deal expires in June 2022.
Larin scored 19 league goals last term as Besiktas finished ahead of Galatasaray on goal difference to claim a 16th domestic title.
It is suggested in Calciomercato in Italy, meanwhile, that Inter Milan could sanction a loan exit for Denzel Dumfries in January.
Right-back Dumfries was heavily linked with Everton prior to joining Inter from PSV Eindhoven following the summer European Championship.
And a potential temporary switch to Goodison Park for the 25-year-old following the turn of the year is mooted by the publication.
The Liverpool Echo reports on an article Dominic Calvert-Lewin wrote for evertonfc.com as part of the Club’s coverage of October’s Black History Month.
Everton striker Calvert-Lewin revisited the racist abuse aimed at three England teammates who missed penalties in the European Championship final penalty shootout against Italy.
But the 24-year-old also highlighted reasons for optimism in the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality.
"It requires massive amounts of courage to take a penalty in that situation,” wrote Calvert-Lewin. “The people responsible for the messages, on the other hand, are cowards, hiding behind anonymous accounts.
"They can type what they want, then go about their days and not see the lasting effects of their actions on someone. There must be accountability for the individuals perpetuating this hate.
"[But] Bukayo Saka received so many kind messages and had great receptions a various stadiums. There was a mural created for Marcus Rashford.
"There are so many good people fighting for the right cause. It is the few who hold these ingrained discriminatory beliefs, who think racism is okay. Their thoughts and beliefs are formed at young ages and become part of who they are.
"People can change but it is very hard to change people who don't want to change. That's not to say we should stop taking the knee. It continues to generate awareness and important conversations and I have felt uplifted by Evertonians' wonderful response to us kneeling before every game this season."
Demarai Gray has spoken to Football Daily about his opening few months working under Everton manager Rafa Benitez.
"He loves coaching… all-round you have to coach a team and their tactics, but man-management and individual instruction is very good,” said Gray, who has three goals in nine Premier League appearances following a summer transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.
"That's done me good. Having a manager who has faith and believes in you obviously helps. He's a good manager and I'm enjoying my time."
