00:00 Will, on Everton, what's the latest you can tell us on the transfer front?
00:03 Has there been any sort of major advances going forward there?
00:07 Yes, obviously, since we last spoke, Arnold and Jumbo have arrived now on a season-long loan from Villarreal.
00:14 I think that's a good sign and I think a lot of people agree.
00:16 Obviously, what happened with Giannouedi, bygones be bygones, really.
00:20 You know, the player and the club are both of that stance and fans will be as well,
00:25 because in terms of a loan, it's a real top-quality sign to get a player of his Ilcon loan.
00:33 Everton will now be hoping he can build some momentum after a disappointing season, especially at Tottenham.
00:39 I think even he'd agree he probably made the wrong decision there to join them in January.
00:43 But yes, I think now you're looking at...
00:46 I think Everton still need certainly another number nine to provide cover and competition to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
00:53 Someone of a similar ilk, someone who is a bit of a target.
00:58 A man who can play his back towards goal, but can run the channels as well and stretch defences
01:04 and put the ball away in the back of the net.
01:07 Alba Altore has been linked from Almere, but Atalanta in Italy are also chasing him.
01:15 Various reports are suggesting that Everton are still in the race,
01:19 but for me personally, I think it's looking the way that he's edging towards Atalanta,
01:26 just because he offered European football there.
01:30 With Mane United after the Atalanta striker, he might be a position there for him.
01:37 If Dominic Calvert-Lewin stays fit, then will he be a regular starter at Everton?
01:44 And European football, sometimes Atalanta have got a real project going on there under the American almost, Steve Pagluca.
01:53 But yes, definitely a number nine.
01:55 Obviously, Ian Atchell at Leicester has been linked, Chaz at Southampton.
01:59 Someone who can provide cover and competition to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
02:05 I think Everton will have a look at Jarrod Bramfoit now.
02:09 He's returned from Elfin England to Euro U21 success.
02:18 I don't think too many are convinced by the partnership of Michael Keane and James Tarkowski so far in pre-season.
02:25 Not a lot of pace between those two.
02:26 And there have been a few times where balls have gone over the top and they have been caught out a little bit.
02:32 So maybe they'll have a look at him.
02:37 And maybe there might be a couple of departures to Mardy Gray.
02:40 Obviously, being one that there's a lot of speculation over.
02:44 There's a potential replacement there.
02:45 Will he go on to lead?
02:47 It's one who Everton have got on their radar.
02:50 And Neil Moore, Peter Parson as well, maybe.
02:52 Then Everton will be looking to get another striker in.
02:55 But I think Everton's business, to be honest, we know the top of the financial situation, etc.
03:01 will go probably down to the end, to be honest with you.
03:04 I can't see them being done by the start of the season.
03:07 I think there'll be spin and plates for a lot of transfer window and there'll be a lot of moving parts to it.
