Transfer the news LIVE! Rudiger wants a huge bonus; Tottenham Eye Griezmann; Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United updates

The left-back has shared his thoughts on the possibility of joining the Toffees and his enthusiasm for the chance to play in the Premier League.

“Moving to Everton is a big and important step in my life,” Mykolenko told evertontv.

“I have always dreamed of playing in the Premier League. English football is the birthplace of the game and I think it will suit my game very well.

“I’m 22 years old but I don’t feel like a youngster. I have the experience of playing at European level and I hope to continue to improve as a player.

“I am excited about the opportunity to play in front of our fans at Everton. I saw the last few games at Goodison Park and they were amazing. They are amazing fans to whom I feel a great responsibility.

The Toffees wasted no time getting their January transfer activity started!

Vitaliy Mykolenko arrives at Goodison Park with the 22-year-old left-back from Dynamo Kiev. Lucas Digne would have quarreled with Rafa Benitez in recent weeks … could that mean that a departure is likely for the French in the coming weeks?

We’ll see, but for now the focus is on Everton’s new arrival.

With Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani both linked with departures from Old Trafford this month, it’s no surprise to see rumors of attacks happening to Man United.

Argentina’s River Plate striker Julian Alvarez is getting a lot of attention in Europe, but Sport report that it was United who took the lead in the race to sign the 21-year-old.

They are believed to be ready to pay his £ 16.8million release clause in January, to push back the interests of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atlético Madrid … Tottenham?

Antoine Griezmann is back at Atletico on loan this season, another Barcelona signing who hasn’t had a good time at Camp Nou.

Fichajes reports that the Frenchman could be open to a move to Tottenham in January, with Antonio Conte and the impressive start he made for the club an attractive factor.

Barcelona are believed to want around £ 40million for Griezmann, who earns extremely high salaries and that could prove to be a potential stumbling block.

Philippe Coutinho’s money transfer to Barcelona in 2018 certainly didn’t work out, and the Spanish club appear very keen to take the Brazilian’s salary off their books.

Tottenham are a Premier League club interested in signing Coutinho, according to El Nacional, but would like to do so on a free transfer. Barcelona want costs in the order of £ 17million.

The Catalans believe Arsenal and Everton also like the player and are hopeful that one of them will make an offer in the coming weeks.

It’s a story that has been going on for several weeks now – Antonio Rudiger’s contract at Chelsea is running this summer and he is set to leave Stamford Bridge.

A move to Real Madrid seems almost inevitable, but ABC reports the center-back wants the Spanish side to pay him a registration fee of more than £ 16million if he wants to end his contract with Chelsea and the to rejoin.

The Spanish post suggests that Real aren’t too impressed with the demands … Could Rudiger end up signing a new deal at Chelsea?
