 Welcome to Toffy TV's The Everton News Daily. The Premier League has confirmed it will return on the 17th of June next month. A couple of games in hand Manchester City against Arsenal and Aston Villa against Sheffield United will be the opening two games before a full programme of fixtures on the 20th of June. This is when Everton will play their first game against Liverpool. The venue not confirmed yet. There's a lot of stories in the media saying that it won't be played at Godderson and they're looking for neutral grounds but nothing confirmed either way at the moment where that's concerned. One thing the Premier League have confirmed is that all 92 games will be shown live across Sky, BT, the BBC and Amazon Prime so you'll get to watch every game if you so wish. They will be staggered kick-off times to enable people to watch those Premier League games. So there it is, the confirmation that we've been thinking for weeks anyway but the Premier League is back next month. Everton defender Michael Keane has been speaking and said it was great to return to contact training. He said it was brilliant to get back some normality. Measures are still in place to ensure our safety. We are still social distancing as soon as the drills are finished. With the protocols we've got at the training ground I think this is one of the safest environments to be in. We've got a one-way system. We park three spaces apart, clean our own kit, bring our own drink bottles and we've got the constant use of sanitiser and the list goes on. It's strange having to keep your distance but everyone has got used to it now. It's good to see everyone again and catch up after two months apart. Keane did go on to say that it's going to be strange playing behind closed doors. He says the fans play a huge part both home and away but hopefully it won't affect us having a really strong end to the season. So as Everton move towards that June 20th game obviously training stepping up once yesterday's vote was clear that they would move to phase two which involved contact training. Monaco are apparently ready to drop their asking price for Jibril Sitherby. There was a deal in place with Everton that meant they could sign the French international for around £14 million at the end of the season. But the quip are now saying that Monaco were going to drop that due to the pandemic and because they want Sitherby off the books. It's unclear yet whether Everton want to take up that option on the French international right back. I guess we'll see over the next nine weeks whether they do or they don't. On to the rumours. A couple of rumours bouncing around today transfer rumours that is Everton have apparently tabled a £14 million bid for sport and Lisbon player Wendell. The Brazilian 23-year-old midfield player has caught the attention of Marcel Brands, very well respected Portuguese agent and journalist both confirming that Everton have tabled a bid. Everton have also apparently made a concrete offer this time for £5 million rated Angers midfielder Angelo Fulgini. His contract expires in 2021. He's a 23-year-old midfield player. The daily link to Jean-Claire Tadibau is back again. Everton have apparently agreed the deal with Barcelona of £20 million for the centre back and he will join Everton in the summer. I have to stress these are just rumours, these are what we're saying. And that is it. Make sure you subscribe, give the video a thumbs up and if you want more videos join us over on Patreon.
