Journalist Pete O'Rourke has revealed that Everton are now 'ready' to sell Andre Gomes.

The Lowdown: Expensive dud

Gomes signed for the Goodison Park outfit from FC Barcelona for £22m back in the summer of 2019, and now earns a whopping £120,000-per-week on Merseyside.

It is safe to say that it has not quite worked out for the Portugal international, who has seen his game time limited by constant injury problems, and when he has been on the pitch, he has struggled to make any sort of real impact, scoring just two goals and making a mere seven assists over four seasons at the club (Transfermarkt).

The Latest: 'Ready' to sell

Taking to Twitter, O'Rourke has revealed that Frank Lampard's team are now 'ready' to sell Gomes this summer:

"Everton are ready to offload Portugal midfielder Andre Gomes this summer."

The Verdict: Get rid

Gomes is 28 years of age now, and so the summer provides the optimum time to get rid and get a decent fee for him.

When he has been available, Lampard has Richard Buxton has pointed out.

Nonetheless, the Blues already have plenty of options in the centre of midfield already, and so Gomes would not really be that much of a miss if he were to leave.
