 Welcome to the Everton News Daily. Talks are continuing over the signing of sporting striker Yusof Chymity. That is according to Ebola in Portugal. The deal is expected to be completed in the next 24 hours and Chymity is still expected to undergo his medical before the two teams meet on Saturday at Godderson Park in Everton's final pre-season game. Chymity's scored three goals and had two assists in 16 appearances last season for sporting. The deal already done between the two clubs of around £12.5 million and the 19-year-old should be coming Everton player over the weekend. That is according to stuff coming out of Portugal today. Everton and West Ham are said to be in a battle to sign Yorogwain international midfielder Emiliano Martínez from FC Middieland. A fee of around £8.7 million is in the Danish press today saying that the 23-year-old is already being subject of one bid by Everton to take him to Godderson Park this summer. It is ongoing to feed out of the bid that Everton have put in at the moment isn't as high as £8.7 million for the 23-year-old but like I say, wait and see on that one as well, who knows. But Pesictes are the latest club said to be interested in Everton winger Damari Gray. The 27-year-old who's been subject of interest in Fulham, Crystal Palace and a couple of clubs in the Saudi Pro League, it's now the turn of Pesictes to throw their hat in the ring for the Everton winger that has less than a year left on his Everton contract. The Blues do have an option to extend that contract by a further year if they wanted to but it does look increasingly likely that Damari Gray will be leaving Godderson Park this transfer window. Finally, Everton kitman Jimmy Martin has decided to retire from his role at Godderson Park. He began working or can driving the team coach in the 80s before becoming Howard Kendall's first ever kitman in 1990 and after 33 years doing that job, it's time for Jimmy to have a well-aimed rest so well done Jimmy, enjoy your retirement.
