Everton are one of a host of clubs who are pushing to sign a "ridiculous" Premier League midfielder at the end of the season, according to a fresh transfer rumour.

Moyes eyeing various signings for Everton

The Blues continue to be linked with potential new signings ahead of the summer transfer window, with West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek emerging as a rumoured priority option for David Moyes.

The Scot managed the 30-year-old during their time together at the London Stadium, with right-back Vladimir Coufal also seen as a possible option to add to Everton's squad.

Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordonez is an impressive young player who is also reportedly wanted by the Blues at the end of the campaign, especially if Jarrad Branthwaite moves on to pastures new. The Ecuadorian may have scored an own goal against Manchester City earlier in the year, but he is a footballer with lots of potential.

Meanwhile, Moyes is also believed to be eyeing young Championship players who he could help turn into superstars at Everton, although no specific player has been mentioned in this latest update. West Brom ace Tom Fellows is a former target, however, so he could be an option again.

Everton looking to sign "ridiculous" Spurs player

According to a new update from TheBoyHotspur, Everton are interested in signing Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma in the summer window.

The Blues aren't the only club that the 28-year-old is "on the radar" of, however, with Aston Villa and Crystal Palace also getting a mention. European clubs are also tracking him and could tempt Spurs with offers as high as £24.7m, with Tottenham willing to sell Bissouma and replace him with Palace's Adam Wharton.

The £55,000-a-week Bissouma could be a brilliant signing for Everton if they get a deal over the line this summer, with the Spurs man possessing quality and experience in the middle of the park.

At 28, he is still at a good stage in his career, so the Blues wouldn't be signing a player who is past his best, and James Maddison has lauded his teammate, saying:

"We all know Yves’ [Bissouma] ability, he is a ridiculous player at times. He has got a skill not many have. The gaffer is a great man with good morals. He [Yves] has to keep working hard. The performance was there on Monday. It was a case of not putting our chances away. It’s important you try and put into practice what the manager wants. It’s about us trusting him."

Whether Bissouma sees Everton as a drop down in his career remains to be seen, but in fairness, there isn't a huge amount separating them in the Premier League, and the Blues feel like they are on an upwards trajectory under Moyes.
