Everton is actively pursuing midfield reinforcements as they plan for the summer transfer window. With Idrissa Gana Gueye's future uncertain following the expiration of his contract, the Toffees are eyeing Villarreal's Pape Gueye and Parma's Mandela Keita as primary targets. Pape Gueye has garnered attention for his impressive performances in the World Cup and La Liga, while Keita has shown durability in Serie A. Everton's recruitment efforts aim to reshape their midfield, indicated by the potential arrival of Hayden Hackney as an initial step. The club may need to act quickly due to interest from other teams in both players.
