“At centre-half, Nathan Ake is a player they like. In midfield, the type of player they want is Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure. The Toffees would also like to add a striking option too, however the likelihood is this would wait until the summer unless an opportunity comes along that they could not refuse,” says Sky Sports pundit Vinny O’Connor on Everton’s transfer plans.

“He [Ancelotti] wants me to bring the ball out a bit more before I pass it if I have space ahead, rather than playing two-touch all the time. It is stuff we are working on in training. It is not going to be perfect overnight but as long as we keep practising it will get better,” says Michael Keane. [EFC]
