Everton transfer news LIVE - Hugo Ekitike offer, Youssef Chermiti close, Tom Cannon future

Hello and welcome to our dedicated Everton live-blog for Thursday, August 10.

The Premier League season is just days away and today, we'll be hearing from Blues manager Sean Dyche.

Fulham are the visitors to Goodison Park on the opening day of the season as Everton look to get off to a strong start.

Ashley Young and Arnaut Danjuma are the only new faces through the door at Finch Farm this summer. However, it is believed that the business is far from over just yet.

And if reports are to be believed, Everton could be busy between now and the deadline in September.

Hugo Ekitike became the latest name linked with a Goodison Park switch and it has been suggested that the Blues have a strong interest in the PSG forward.

A move for towering Sporting CP striker Youssef Chermiti is in its final days, while Tom Cannon's future is on hold as the Blues look to agree deals for attacking reinforcements.
