Everton is revving up its summer transfer engine, targeting a dramatic makeover for its left flank with two imminent signings. This marks the club's first summer under the ownership of The Friedkin Group, and they are leaving no stone unturned.

So far, the Toffees have made notable signings, including striker Thierno Barry from Villarreal and goalkeeper Mark Travers from Bournemouth, while also making midfielder Charly Alcaraz’s deal from Flamengo permanent. However, manager David Moyes has made it clear that he envisions up to 10 new faces before the season kicks off.

In a whirlwind of activity, Everton has not only secured a new left-back but is also preparing a bold bid for another exciting player.

‘Here We Go!’—Aznou En Route to Everton

The first piece of the puzzle is Adam Aznou, a promising left-back from Bayern Munich. Reports confirm that Everton has successfully negotiated a €9 million deal, potentially rising to €12 million with performance-related add-ons. This fee translates to an initial cost of about £7.9 million, which could increase to approximately £10.5 million.

Aznou is set to undergo his medical within the next couple of days, with the formalities nearly wrapped up. However, in a strategic move, Bayern has secured the right to match any future offers for the young Moroccan talent, adding a layer of intrigue to this already captivating transfer.

Everton Makes a Play for Lyon's Fofana

In addition to Aznou, Everton is reportedly in advanced talks to secure Malick Fofana, a coveted winger from Lyon. The initial interest from the club has evolved into a formal bid as they seek to snatch up the young talent who has been on the radar of several Premier League clubs, including fierce rivals Liverpool.

Negotiations over personal terms with Fofana's representatives are also making headway, suggesting that the Toffees are serious about bolstering their attacking options.
