Everton Soares race 'joined' and other transfer rumours rated

The summer tranfer window is open and as Everton seek to strengthen ahead of the new season kicking off, there are plenty of names being linked with a move to Goodison Park.

These are your Everton transfer rumours rated for Saturday, August 1.

Blues back in for attacker

Who?

Everton Soares, the Gremio forward who was linked a few months back. At the time, the ECHO reported that there was no interest in the winger.

What?

A Bola (via Sportwitness ) claim that Everton are set to rejoin the race for Soares with the winger also drawing interest from Benfica in Portugal.

The 24-year-old is thought to be valued around £22.5 million.

Arsenal midfielder battle

Who?

Watford central midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

What?

The Daily Mirror claim that Everton and Arsenal will reignite their interest in the 27-year-old now that Watford have been relegated to the Championship.

Everton liked the box-to-box Frenchman last summer. Could they now get their man?

Watford wanted more than £40 million last year but now they have failed to avoid the drop, could have to accept a lower fee.

Real Madrid left-back

Who?

Sergio Reguilon, who was voted the best left-back in La Liga last season.

What?

Sky Sports claimed last night that the 23-year-old was someone Everton liked - and indeed had put in an £18 million bid for him. However, the ECHO understands that this is not the case.

The report claimed that Carlo Ancelotti viewed the full-back, who spent last season on loan at Sevilla, as a replacement for Leighton Baines. He has also been linked with other Premier League clubs including Chelsea.

Everton are in the market for a left-back to replace Baines, but have strongly played down the suggestion of a bid being submitted for Reguilon.
