Everton have made an official bid for Bayern Munich\u2019s Adam Aznou, David Moyes confirmed. He spoke to the press after his team\u2019s 3-0 loss to Bournemouth<\/a> in the first match of the Premier League Summer Series in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Blues have made progress behind the scenes on the young left-back and Moyes said, \u201cWe have made an offer, whether it\u2019s accepted, or whether it\u2019s all done. He\u2019s a young player, he\u2019s a young left-back.\u201d<\/p>\n Born in Barcelona to Moroccan parents, Aznou joined the famed La Masia academy at the age of 13. Three years later, he joined Bayern Munich\u2019s youth academy and made four appearances for the Bavarian club before spending the second half of last season on loan at Real Valladolid in Spain.<\/p>\n Moyes confirmed that the club is betting on Aznou\u2019s talent and potential<\/a> and asked for caution against having immediate expectations from the teenager.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, he\u2019s someone who we see as having a good future and potential.\u201d<\/p>\n Aznou is expected to play second fiddle to Vitaliy Mykolenko, who is the only natural left-back in the squad at the moment.<\/p>\n The Athletic’s<\/a> Paddy Boyland reported that he is set to undergo his medical early this week ahead of an initial \u20ac9M deal. If all goes to plan, Aznou is expected to join Everton on their US tour.<\/p>\n Asked if Everton were mostly focusing on young targets, Moyes replied: \u201cNo, not really. If I\u2019m honest, we\u2019ve actually tried to target the more senior players if we can, players who are maybe over the age of 25 with Premier League experience.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not taken us away from the fact that we want to try and buy some young players as well. When I think you\u2019ve got as many as us to probably do, I\u2019m hoping by the time we get to the end of the transfer window, we might have a balance of youth and experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Of the three signings for Everton so far in the transfer window, goalkeeper Mark Travers<\/a> is the only one above the age of 25. Thierno Barry and Charly Alcaraz are both 22, while the sought-after Adam Aznou is 19.<\/p>\n \t\u00a0<\/p>\n Reader Comments (40)<\/p>\n Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission. Comments are the responsibility of the poster. Disclaimer<\/a> ()<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Now a right winger please. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n We will have the best young team in the championship at this rate next season <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Until its done, it’s not done. <\/p>\n \n \n John, I agree. Better to wait for the official announcement for the club before celebrating, although I reckon most signs are pointing in the direction of the deal being over the line. Let’s wait and see. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n I had an interest in Anne Margret when I was young but she never signed up.<\/p>\n Quite frankly I am tired of these speculative posts that are supposed to give hope, I am giving up on them until 9 August, giving myself a break from anything I would normally look for on Everton until then. I want to reset the date and hopefully read about actual signings then? <\/p>\n Talking of “signings” white brackets have appeared on the west side of the HDS, could we have our name overlooking the Mersey? Now that would be good news. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Potentially a good signing but he won\u0092t feature in the first team next season. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Anne Margret let you down as well hey Martin.<\/p>\n What a stunner she was. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Just read David Moyes comments saying the club are working very hard to bring in new players. But he also said they have approached some very good players but all have said No for the time being. <\/p>\n Moyes said that at West Ham, with them being in Europe, it was a lot easier signing players. I think the club are finding out that with our recent past history of a few seasons fighting relegation, then we aren’t a very attractive proposition, and the better quality of player we are trying to attract makes that job very difficult. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Moyes asked for caution against having immediate expectations from the teenager. So back to square one, as he’s not ready for the first team.<\/p>\n If we do well against the Hammers, Man Utd and then Roma, and still not got first team recruitment, will that be papering over the cracks? <\/p>\n We can’t compete with the squad as it is, we already have injuries, and the season has not even started. <\/p>\n We looked good first half against Bournemouth, but woeful defending cost us. I won’t hang O’Brien out to dry as even the best have mistakes in them. But Patterson as a defender is just not good enough. <\/p>\n So right-back, right-winger, sell or keep Chermiti in the squad, a couple of loans with experience\u2026 and we should be okay. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Brian east now. That post is in real danger of sounding logical. We can’t be having that on TW!! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n My own view is that a lot of older professionals will all want to play in Europe, whereas some of the younger players might just want to get a chance in a team to try and make a name for themselves before thinking about playing for a team that will be playing European football, Brian?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n There’s nowhere near enough goals in the squad. 3 pre season games without a goal from open play, or even threatening one.<\/p>\n Whilst there were some positives from the first half v Bournemouth, we didn’t really create a great deal. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Sounds like Davey is a bit down in the dumps! He needs to stay positive like the rest of us on TW!! <\/p>\n Martin @5 and Brian @7,<\/p>\n Talking to Anne earlier and she said she didn’t remember either of you guys!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n We couldn’t even score against a team that lost virtually all their back 4 from last season. <\/p>\n It’s not the strikers that we need, it’s creative players that we’re short of. Watching the game Saturday, Beto and Barry were chasing shadows. Garner ain’t good enough, McNeil got as much pace as Stephen Hawkin, and Alcaraz ain’t exactly going to go by a couple of players. <\/p>\n No pace, no creativity, and certainly not enough options. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Well, if you can’t get her name right, Martin …… no wonder! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n That’s exactly right, Neil.<\/p>\n When I say there’s not enough goals, I don’t solely blame the strikers. Across the board we have very little creativity in the players or the set-up. <\/p>\n Both are dependent on the other \u2013 until we get the players, we are stuck. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n He’s definitely got talent. <\/p>\n Bit strange for the club to speak about him before it’s done. Looks terrible if he doesn’t end up here, and just invites others to have a go at getting him too. <\/p>\n Unless it’s all agreed bar the medical. Still bit premature. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n I’d read he had submitted a transfer request. \u00a37.8M fee. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Brian 7#,<\/p>\n I still have sleepless nights over it.<\/p>\n Stu 13#,<\/p>\n I think competing with Elvis may have had something to do with it? She wasn’t exactly All Shook Up over the prospect despite The Wonder Of Me<\/p>\n I move on. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Everton and Guinea-Bissau striker Beto, 27, is being considered as an option by Atalanta, they want him as a replacement for Mateo Retegui who joined Al Quadsiah for \u20ac65M. <\/p>\n Calvert-Lewin is wanted by Newcastle. What a surprise if he goes to them for free, as opposed to round \u00a330M last season. Well done, Dom, if he pulls it off, fleecing the team that made you a wealthy man. <\/p>\n Gratitude is apparantly not a word that you are familiar with. Make sure you have some Vaseline for the splinters you will get sitting on your arse. Once a blue? Ungrateful Ponce. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Steve # 7, assuming we sign him, why wouldn’t Aznou feature in the first team next season? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Paul. Calvert-Lewin owes Everton nothing. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Robert, with so little senior experience, I’ll be shocked if he makes many Premier League starts this season. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Paul, seriously? He owes Everton his wealthy lifestyle, how can you say he owes Everton nothing? <\/p>\n That’s just blind loyalty to a man who has cheated his employers out of millions, not to mention the fans, loyalty that Calvert-Lewin obviously dosn’t have. Now it looks like he’s found another club stupid enough to pay him millions, for very little return, just as he gave to us. <\/p>\n Blind loyalty is characterized by an inability or unwillingness to question the actions, decisions, or character of the person or group to whom one is loyal. In your case, Paul, Calvert-Lewin. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Reportedly the Douglas Luiz possibility is still alive and well.<\/p>\n Also I need to point out that the guy I’ve been pushing for, Tim Weah, is still available — his long-assumed move to Marseilles seems to have fallen through — and I’d still love to see us go in for him. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Paul K@24 – he doesn’t owe Everton anything more than any other employee. <\/p>\n The fact that the club missed out on a transfer fee is due to the fact that the club didn’t offer him a contract extension that was acceptable to him. He saw out the terms of his contract, that was freely entered into by both parties, so de facto he has not “cheated” his employer at all. <\/p>\n I would also add that, in recent years, he has copped the most awful abuse, not least on this site, as well as saving the club from pretty much certain relegation (with all the costs associated with that \u2013 we may not even exist at this stage had we been relegated) with his header against Palace. I, for one, am extremely grateful for that! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Robert @ 21, see if you can figure it out.<\/p>\n Take your time. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Weah’s agent isn’t happy. Juventus only want to sell to the Premier League, apparently, Mike.<\/p>\n But I agree, I’d take Weah and Douglas Luiz. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Peter, sorry but he’s a money-grabbing, overrated, not very good at his job, over paid, injury prone, ungrateful man, who, despite all of the negatives is, because of Everton, a very wealthy man. <\/p>\n Do you think he’s worth \u00a3130k a week? Apparently you do. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n So what should Calvert-Lewin be doing to show his “gratitude” for Everton? Turn down other offers? Retire? <\/p>\n And if he’s found another club, what do we care? He’s worth what an employer thinks he’s worth and is willing to pay him. That employer isn’t us anymore. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Re Calvert-Lewin, I am very much in the Peter Mitchell (26) camp, believing that Calvert-Lewin generally did his best while he was with us. <\/p>\n Of course he was hampered by injuries and the style of play promoted by our previous manager. If he is now able to have a good career with another club, good luck to him, and I wish him well. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Paul 22. <\/p>\n Spot on, Dominic Calvert-Lewin owes us nothing. He gave us great service \u2014something, as a centre-forward, he was starved of. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Steve, I’m curious too. I’ve taken my time and I can’t figure out why Aznour wouldn’t be a first-teamer for a club that desperately needs left-back cover. <\/p>\n So tell us. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Brian @ 8, it’s that pesky glass ceiling again, the best players won’t want to sign for us. <\/p>\n They might possibly consider it if we were to pay them silly money each week along with a 5-year contract \u2014 but that’s a slippery slope.<\/p>\n We will no doubt sign 6+ more players but will they be good enough? It sounds familiar, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Andrew #23, yes, I agree. Mykolenko will be first-choice left-back with Aznou presumably lined up to challenge and then hopefully overtake over the next 18 months or so. <\/p>\n But despite the constructive comment from Steve @27, I’m still none the wiser as to why Aznou wouldn’t feature in the first team at all \u2014 as Steve said #6. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Robert – you’re right; of course he will play in the first team next season. He’s hardly leaving Bayern, where he has complained about a lack of game time, to sit in our reserves. <\/p>\n League Cup, FA Cup, times if we’re chasing a game he can come on, Mykolenko injuries etc . <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Mike, “So what should DCL be doing to show his “gratitude” for Everton? Turn down other offers? Retire?’ <\/p>\n \n Bewildering, Paul. You despise the guy, think he’s overrated and poor and has cheated the club and fans and turned his back and stuck up his middle finger. <\/p>\n Yet you want him back? You think he ought to sign Everton’s “very good offer” (now off the table because we replaced him already)? <\/p>\n Why???<\/p>\n I would have thought that holding that opinion of him, you would think he has demonstrated the appropriate gratitude by getting out of the club. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n Paul, quite right that he did that to us then given the way he has been treated by some of so called fans. Getting booed when he went off injured, having just come back from injury. R9 would have struggled in our team over the last 4 years plus with the lack of creativity given to our strikers. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Has he signed yet ? Asking for 52,000 desperate souls and the Moyesiah.<\/p>\n Brian, I had that Anne Margaret thing too, small world. Beautiful and really talented, what was not to like. <\/p>\n

With the amount we require, hopefully there are lots of negotiations for players going on in the background, if we are just doing one player at a time this is going to take forever. <\/p>\n

Do the honest thing for the club that made him, and accept a very good contract from Everton or accept a contract from Newcastle. He turned them down to go for free. And don’t say why should he, because we are back to square one. My opinion, obviously not yours, is loyalty, regardless of any issues should bring about loyalty, both ways. DlC turned his back on us, stuck up his middle finger, and let his contract run out to benefit one person himself. <\/p>\n
