 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Rhyw van Nisteroi said that Everton can enjoy long term success with Marcel Brands as director of football. Van Nisteroi said you can already see the differences in the team with the players that Brands has brought in, they are getting better all the time. He said with the history and the fan base as well as the new stadium Everton have everything in place to be successful at the top of the English game for a long time. Listen, things are improving Brands, the longer he is here, the more of his stuff he will get across. He has made some good signs, the jury is out on a couple still but in general the level of players that he has brought in has improved Everton. This summer is going to be very interesting to see what he does with Carlo Ancelotti for Everton going forward. But it is good to ring and endorse him from Van Nisteroi. He said a lot more about Brands and what kind of person he is as well. You can check that interview out on the Everton website. Everton and Leicester have been offered the opportunity to sign Red Bull Leipzig striker Emil Forsberg, the sweet 28 years of ages fallen out of the team under Nagelsman at Leipzig. Sportbills report that the striker is available for around 20 million euros. He is a good player Forsberg, not sure he quite fits Ancelotti's. What Ancelotti wants Everton do have three young strikers at the club so it is whether the club feelers though a move for a 28 year old experienced striker will help aid the development of the other players. He is a very, very good player though Forsberg. So again, what's this space? Everton apparently turned down an approach in Tottenham Hotspur for Michael Keane in January before Toby Aldew Wyrill signed his new deal. Spears apparently have been tracking Keane for a year. Everton didn't want to let the 27 year old centre back go mid season. But Jan Vatongan's deal, expiring in the summer, Spears thought to possibly come back for Keane. Who knows, who knows that's according to football insider. Everton reportedly made an approach to former Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac, that's according to Sport1 today. Kovac wanted time to recharge his batteries. He was of course spotted at Gooderson Park during Everton's 3-1 victory over Chelsea at the start of December. After he'd left Bayern Munich he was on a fact-finding mission, I think he said at the time, but Sport1 suggest that Everton approached them. But Everton spoke to quite a few managers before Carlo Manciotti got the job. So if he did speak to Kovac it wouldn't surprise me. Finally Sport and Lisbon are set to decline the option to purchase Yannick Balasi in the summer that is according to the boot room and Eibola who is the Portuguese news outlet. There's an agreement in place to sign the 30-year-old for £4 million, but according to that news outlet Everton aren't going to be successful in selling Balasi to Sport and Lisbon with the Portuguese club refusing to take up their option. So it means that Balasi will be back at Finch Farm and Everton will be looking for another club to potentially loan him out to we love. I think he's got a year left on his contract to run so. See where Yannick goes in the summer that is it. Make sure you give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos join us on Patreon. See you later.
