Everton seeks to sign Pape Matar Sarr from Tottenham

Summary

Everton is pursuing a transfer for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr ahead of the transfer deadline next Tuesday. Manager David Moyes aims to bolster the squad's midfield, with Sarr reportedly available to leave Spurs. Competing interests from Nottingham Forest and Besiktas may complicate negotiations. Sarr missed the start of the Premier League season due to injury and is currently lower in the lineup behind new signings at Tottenham. Everton is expected to act quickly, as Sarr’s market value is estimated at £35 million and other clubs, including Crystal Palace, Brentford, and AS Monaco, are also monitoring the situation.
