Dyche eyeing Cornet reunion
Maxwel Cornet has reportedly been added to Everton's shopping list ahead of the transfer deadline, with any possible move giving Sean Dyche the chance to link back up with the man he signed for Burnley.
The Ivorian winger joined the Clarets from Lyon in 2021 but couldn't prevent them from going down to the Championship that season.
He was linked with Everton a year ago but joined West Ham instead in a £17m deal and played 22 times for the Hammers last season, without adding to his tally of 9 Premier League goals.
Cornet could be surplus to requirements at the London Stadium now that David Moyes has been adding to his squad and, according to Sport Mail, The Mirror and now the The Telegraph, Everton are interested as they seek to add depth in the wide positions.

It was thought that if the interest is geuine, Kevin Thelwell will be looking at a season-long loan for Cornet but it appears as though either a temporary or a permanent deal is under consideration.

We need players who will add to the quality we have. We do not need players who are cast-offs of teams that will be mid-table at most. If he cannot even make The Hammers' first 11, what on earth is he going to bring to our squad?
Go for Sulemana from the Saints. A much better option and a possible first-team player. Not a bench warmer at best.

This season, he has been on the bench for all 3 Premier League games and has played 1 minute. There was talk he needed surgery on the calf but unsure if this has happened.
When he was at Burnley under Dyche, he played 26 Premier League games with 9 goals and 1 assist, which is why West Ham bought him, as Burnley we're relegated – Dyche had been sacked before the relegation. Prior to the injury, he was a first pick for the Ivory Coast.
His career stats RW/LW 81 games, 42 goals, 27 assists. He has also played LB, CF, LM / RM / AM and as a Second Striker. 111 games, 17 goals, 13 assists. He's a threat wherever he plays. However, if his calf is not up to it, we would have to say no.

Sounds about right…

Not had a decent right winger since Kanchelskis.
