James Rodriguez 'close' and other Everton transfer rumours rated

James Rodriguez

Who?

Colombia ace.

Where?

Sky Sports have reported James Rodriguez could be close to joining Everton.

The report suggests an agreement between Real Madrid and the Blues could be just 48 hours away.

Further reports in Spain from Mundo Deportivo ( via Sport Witness ) claim the transfer could be made official in the next few hours.

What?

We know Carlo Ancelotti is a keen admirer of Rodriguez and would like to bring the superstar to Goodison Park.

The ECHO understands the Italian boss has discussed a move for the 29-year-old with the club's board.

But I guess we will have to wait and see whether or not Ancelotti is to be reunited with the playmaker.

Emerson

Who?

Barcelona defender.

Where?

Everton have reportedly had an offer to sign Barcelona right-back Emerson turned down by the Catalan giants.

Mundo Deportivo have claimed the Blues along with Real Betis made an approach to acquire the 21-year-old - but that Barca are looking to sell rather than loan out the Brazilian.

What?

Barca have already sold Ivan Rakitic to Sevilla and it is likely a lot more players will follow the Croatian out the door as Ronald Koeman starts the rebuild.

The report goes on to state Emerson is keen on sticking it out at the Camp Nou, but if he does leave he would prefer it to be for a side playing in European competition.

Allan

Who?

Napoli midfielder.

Where?

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed Allan will make the Goodison Park switch.

He told Radio Kiss Kiss: "We are at the final greetings. Allan will go to Everton."

What?

The Blues made a breakthrough in negotiations over the weekend with a deal now close to being agreed for the Brazilian.
