Following our pre-season draw with Bury, Marco Silva confirmed that the club are working on new signings and that he expects the club to confirm deals in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the club have been linked with a whole host of players, such as Chelsea’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Michy Batshuayi.
According to the Daily Mirror, Marco Silva is interested in signing either Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Michy Batshuayi from Chelsea.
We’re allegedly interested in signing either one of the two Chelsea players on a loan deal, Loftus-Cheek impressed during his spell with Crystal Palace last season, and Batshuayi was in tremendous form for Borussia Dortmund before injury concluded his spell with the German club.
Here’s how Everton supporters have responded to the rumours on Twitter.

Could be a very good signing. Young, promising and has a very good eye when on the ball.

I mean I’d love him at Everton but they are the only paper I’ve seen it reported. I can see him staying in London. Price in the £25-35M range surely? Due to age, being English, World Cup and last season performances etc.

Verdict:
Either player would significantly enhance the quality of our team, Loftus-Cheek is a dynamic and industrious midfielder, while Batshuayi is a clinical poacher, whose ruthless in front of goal.
