Everton dealt blow in pursuit of star winger

Galatasaray vice-president Abdurrahim Albayrak has spoken to Bein Sports Turkey, as per Sports Witness, about the future of Everton target Garry Rodrigues this week.

The Cape Verde winger has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League, with Everton seemingly topping the list of potential suitors.

Speaking about the 27-year-old, Albayrak said:

There’s no offer for him at the moment. We’ll play in the Champions League, we are never thinking of selling players.

Toffees scouts have been to Turkey to watch the Galatasaray man in action and were impressed by his performances, meaning a bid could be tabled in the not too distant future.

Rodrigues was a pivotal player in the Turkish side’s league winning campaign, scoring nice goals and providing 11 assists from the wide position.

West Ham and Newcastle are also thought to be interested in the Toffees target, so there could possibly be a bidding war for the former PAOK man.
