Plenty of Everton fans have all been saying the same thing this week after a bold transfer claim emerged from Italy.
According to Calciomercatoweb, Juventus could use Lucas Digne as a bargaining chip if the Toffees are serious over their interest in midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
It’s claimed that both players are valued at around €25m (£22.5m) and the Serie A champions see it as a perfect opportunity to bolster a weak area and at the same time, get rid of a problematic figure who has struggled to impress manager Mauricio Sarri.
Who would you rather have at Goodison?
Lucas Digne
Adrien Rabiot
But the news hasn’t gone down swimmingly at Goodison Park with plenty of Everton fans simply writing off the thought of that even happening.
Which is easy to see why given the doubts over Rabiot and just how key Digne is to Carlo Ancelotti.
The former PSG man has only been in Turin for the best part of a year and is already been linked with an exit. It’s not a great look.
Meanwhile, his French counterpart continues to impress down the left flank for the Toffees, averaging 2.2 tackles, 2.2 crosses and 2.2 key passes per game, on top of providing five assists, via WhoScored.
Here’s how supporters have reacted…
Not one for me that

Probably sourced via a mole at LFC. Lucas claiming the best left back in the prem and they don’t like it. Absolute rubbish speculation. Trying to rock the boat. In Carlos we trust and no way does Digne move. NSNO.
