James Rodriguez 'imminent', Abdoulaye Doucoure 'determined' and other Everton transfer rumours rated

James Rodriguez

Who?

Real Madrid star.

Where?

Marca are the latest to claim Rodriguez is on the cusp of completing a move to Everton.

The Spanish outlet say a switch is imminent.

What?

The ECHO understands Carlo Ancelotti would love to bring the attacker to Goodison Park and has discussed this with the club's board.

Though the player's wage demands could make a transfer of this magnitude difficult to pull off.

It is however super reassuring to know Ancelotti is keen on bringing the 29-year-old to Everton, but I guess we will have to wait and see whether a deal can be thrashed out.

Abdoulaye Doucoure

Who?

Watford midfielder.

Where?

Reports in France are claiming Doucoure has rejected 'several proposals' from clubs all in a bid to make to switch to Goodison Park.

Telefoot via Get French Football News, as relayed here, say the 27-year-old is determined to move to Everton which is why he is said to have rejected the likes of Wolves, Fulham and Hertha Berlin.

What?

We know Carlo Ancelotti is keen on adding the Frenchman to his midfield ahead of next season.

And Watford will surely have to cash in on the player following their relegation from the Premier League.

So, combine that with reports which say Doucoure wants Everton then this does feel like a win win situation.

Andrea Belotti

Who?

Torino striker.

Where?

Reports from Italy are suggesting Everton are eyeing a move for the forward.

The Boot Room have brought to our attention Tuttosport's original report which seems to claim the Blues along with Newcastle have made contact over potentially acquiring the 26-year-old.

What?

I think I am right in saying Belotti's name has cropped up on the Everton rumour mill in the past.

Though I'm not sure this one looks like it is moving past speculation with the report going on to state the Torino star is not for sale.
