 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Deli Alley has been unveiled as an Everton player today. Alley has given an interview to Everton TV. He's also done all his media stuff, pitches in Everton kits and everything else. A video going around showing Alley arriving at Finch Farm and Frank Llanpard looking very happy to see him even saying we did it. Alley talked about his move to Everton, called it a perfect match. I did say, which is quite interesting, I think, said that it's important to a footballer to feel wanted. And maybe it spares, he just didn't feel wanted. Apparently he does have Evan. Cos Frank Llanpard really wants him. He's been on about being excited to play for Evan and feel the passion of the supporters and very excited to work with Frank Llanpard. So it's an interesting sign and for sure if he can rediscover the way he was I've gotten him a couple of years ago, I've got a fantastic sign on the hands. But up to him now, he's working at Everton, it's a new star for him. Working with Frank Llanpard, who he quite clearly believes in. And Llanpard has obviously made it very clear to Deli Alley that he trusts him and he wants him to do well he is. So let's see how he goes. He obviously can't play the weekend he's cup tied for Everton's game against Brentford but will be going into the Everton squad for the trips in Newcastle next week. So Deli Alley unveiled as an Everton player. Just further on, coaching staff news. Everton are very confident that Ashley Cole will join Frank Llanpard's backroom staff. The former Chelsea in England defender is currently working at Chelsea as an under 16 coach and is the England under 21 assistant manager. But Everton feel like he is going to join them over the next couple of days. He will, it seems, remain as an assistant to Lee Carsley for the England under 21 setup while doing a role at Everton. There hasn't been a confirmed what role he will be doing at Goddison Park but he is very highly rated at Ashley Cole. So it looks like Ashley Cole coming in to complete Frank Llanpard's backroom staff as well. Sheng Towson wants to leave the football club as soon as possible but he's demanding £800,000 from Everton to do so. That is according to Turkish media today saying that Towson will ask for a million euros to leave Everton in the next week or so. The Turkish transfer window doesn't close until the 8th of February. Bashik is very keen to resign Sheng Towson. So whether or not Everton will agree to that, it would mean that they would be saving some wages if they do by paying them off early. But, you know, I don't know what's happening because Towson is not going to be part of Everton's 13 squad, I don't imagine, and Everton do have a 25-man squad to fill in and send off to the Premier League. They currently got 27 plays registered so two are going to miss out, it looks like. So if Towson goes, then that's one thing, one problem out the way. He's played 59 times for Everton in all competitions and scored 11 goals. So Sheng Towson may be on his way back to Bashik's ass. And finally, Everton wants to enter talks with Steve Hitching for their new director of football role according to reports. Hitching has quit spares, he's become very disillusioned with life at Tottenham after the arrival of Fabio Petriti in the director of football role at Spares. The 45-year-old's role has been reduced and he's been left to do other things that he didn't want to do, basically that's according to the report, and it's forced him to resign from Spares. He's never been a director of football, he's been a technical director and head of recruitment at Spares but not actually a director of football. And Everton have gone down this road before with Steve Walsh, who was never a director of football, he'd been a coach and a scout at Leicester and it didn't quite work. Tottenham fans don't have much good stuff to say about Hitching if you read online. Lot of them, some of them even go on as far as saying he's the reason why Spares have never been successful. I don't know how true that is but a lot of them are not too bothered that he's left the football club. It would be interesting to see whether Everton actually do follow it up. There's definitely more experienced directors of football out there. Everton heavily linked with Dan Ashworth over the last couple of weeks and he will be one that you would chase because he's done a great job of brightening. But according to these reports, Matt Law, one of them saying that Steve Hitching is interesting Everton. So we'll have to see whether that pans out.
