Everton target sets transfer 'deadline' as Maxwel Cornet stance becomes clear

Despite continuing their preparations for the new Premier League season across the Atlantic in the United States, Everton have shown no signs of letting their long distance affect their hopes of bolstering the ranks at Goodison Park as Frank Lampard eyes up a host of new players.

Following the departure of star striker Richarlison earlier this month, the Blues are looking to bring attacking reinforcements to Goodison Park before the end of the transfer window.

Here are the latest Everton transfer rumours.

Maxwel Cornet

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has issued an update on Maxwel Cornet's future at Turf Moor amid recent speculation linking him with a move to Premier League sides, including Everton.

The Ivorian joined the Clarets last summer and impressed during his debut season in English football as he fired nine goals in 26 games. However, following Burnley's relegation to the Championship, the forward has been linked away with a move from Turf Moor and his manager has admitted the Clarets have started to prepare for life without their forward.

Speaking after the pre-season game against Shrewsbury on Friday night, Kompany said : "I don't know close it is, it is no secret there is a couple of clubs in for him and a couple of clubs have made good offers.

"We have to prepare probably for a period after him and that is what we are doing. I am not saying Maxwel has gone, he has offers."

It remains to be seen whether the Blues will make an official move for the forward, who seems likely to be left out of the Clarets' pre-season tour of Portugal, in the near future.
