Everton in talks with Lyon over Traore
Everton have opened formal negotiations with Lyon regarding winger Bertrand Traore according to L'Equipe. | Saturday, 01 June 2019The French sport outlet's track record for veracity has been chequered in recent years but they claim that the two clubs are in talks over the potential transfer of the former Chelsea man who is said to be valued at around €40m, although it's unlikely the fee would be anything like that high.
The report suggests that the Blues have been watching the 23-year-old Burkina Faso international for some time.
Some local fans regard Traore as having enormous potential but his lack of consistency and one-footedness have held him back from making the kind of impact they had expected of him.
