 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Everton are very interested in signing sport in midfield player Mateus Nunes. That is according to the Portuguese press today. You'll remember that Everton were heavily linked with the move for Nunes last summer Marcel Brands was keen on him. Apparently Rafa Benitez wasn't and it didn't happen and obviously there was money issues as well of course last summer. So I'm not sure where this has come from but according to the Portuguese press Everton are very very interested in taking the midfielder to Godderson Park. Super agent George Mendes wants to sport the midfielder to make the move to Godderson this summer. But according to record in Portugal he's valued at around 50 million euros which Everton quite clearly can't afford. So I don't know how accurate that fee is. He is a box-a-box midfiel player, he looks a good player to be fair to. So I wonder if there is a deal to be done if that value is much less than that and then obviously Everton would probably pay that up with instalments over four or five seasons. Might even use Javiginia who sport and are apparently interested in keeping as part of the deal as well. But we'll wait and see. Obviously the links are coming thick and fast. This one though is obviously Everton have maintained an interest in him. He had a good season for sport and they finished second in the Portuguese league. So wait and see with this one as well. Nottingham Forest are apparently very interested in signing Mousa Niacati. Why am I telling you? Because apparently they will face competition from Everton for the 26-year-old French defender. The mind's defender played 30 times last season for them and scored four goals. Everton have been credited with an interest in Niacati for a few seasons now. He's a standard 6-4-3, he's powerful centre-back, he's 26 years old like I've said. Forest have opened up the talks but again you know whether Everton have been dragged into this just by the press remains to be seen. Do know there has been an interest in Niacati in the past. But obviously James Tarkowski looks like that's all done by the Shelton. So would Everton then be going for another centre-back without moving any of the ones we have already out the door? Again remains to be seen but that's the link coming from Germany today. Gareth Proser is apparently set to be named or certainly the favourite to be named as Everton's new academy director. That's in the athletics today by the boy done reporting that one. Proser has previously worked with Kevin Fellwell at Wolffs. Fellwell very, very complimentary when Proser left Mollingune 2018. And now apparently impressed Everton really well in the interviews and looks set to be in the boxy to take that role. Everton had received a lot of enquiries about that job since David Underworth left the club. Underworth of course was doing the academy director role and the under-23 manager role. Both of those roles set to be filled this summer. And it may well be Gareth Proser so there you go. The Premier League fixtures were out today. Everton have been handed a home tie or home game rather with Chelsea on August the 6th. That has been moved already for Sky Sport. It's gone to a 530 kickoff so I'm quite sure there'll be a bus welcome and blue pyro everywhere. So that one. The then travel to Aston Villa a week later before facing Nottingham Forest at Gooderson the week after that one. Other notable dates. The Merseyside Derby. The first one is at Gooderson Park on Saturday the 3rd of September. Obviously subject to change at the moment. And the return game at Anfield is on Saturday February the 11th. The Blues are at home to Wolves on Boxing Day and they face Bournemouth at Gooderson Park on the final game of the season on May 28. It's a long season of course this year due to the well cup in Cata. And finally former Brazil international left back Roberto Carlos said he nearly joined Everton after playing at Gooderson Park in 1995 for Brazil against Japan. He did go on into Milan and had a fantastic career. He was unbelievable left back play for Brail Madrid as well of course. But says there was real interest for Everton after that game at Gooderson in 1995 and he almost joined the Blues. There was other interest from Premier League clubs as well. But that would have been an interest and once seeing him line up at Gooderson in 1995. So a case of nearly happened but didn't. There you go. That is it for the news daily.
