Everton have long been linked with a move for Moussa Dembele, and they are said to have renewed that interest today.

The Blues are said to fancy a move for the Fulham schemer, but the young Frenchman is said to be attracting interest from a number of clubs, including Lille and Genoa.

The Blues, meanwhile are said to hope to full off a move for the former PSG man, who moved to London in 2012.

The 19-year-old is very highly rated at Craven Cottage, and he's one of a number of players who they are determined to keep hold of this summer.

It's reported that Everton have the advantage over Lille and Genoa when it comes to transfer fee and wages, but both the Italian and French club could offer Dembele first team football.

The report indicates that Dembele must now choose between his preference to stay in English football and first-team football elsewhere.

Everton have knocked back a second bid from Chelsea for John Stones - but they might have to deal with the advances of Manchester City and Manchester United if reports today can be believed.

In what seems to be a theme among young Everton players, reports suggest the two Manchester clubs are now keeping a close eye on developments and could make a move for Stones in the coming weeks.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have continued to bid for Stones despite Everton's insistence that he is not for sale, and have had bids in the region of £20m and £26m rejected recently.

Jose Mourinho is a known admirer of Stones, with the former Barnsley defender thought of as a long-term replacement for John Terry. City, meanwhile, are busy trying to recruit more English players, having already signed Raheem Sterling from Liverpool for a fee of £49m.

Louis van Gaal has been busy rebuilding Man United this summer, signing the likes of Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger this summer.
