# Everton: Toffees ‘interested’ in Tete

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are reportedly ‘interested’ in signing Shakhtar Donetsk winger Tete, who is on loan at Lyon.**

### The Lowdown: Gordon replacement?

It was [reported](https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1618901358442123274) this morning that Anthony Gordon returned to Finch Farm after missing training for the last three days, which comes with the news that Sean Dyche is [expected](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11683407/Sean-Dyche-appointed-Evertons-new-manager-Marcelo-Bielsa-turned-role.html) to become the next manager at Goodison Park.

Sky Sports reporter [Keith Downie](https://twitter.com/skysports_keith/status/1618996099494326275?s=46&t=kciM1L83mId6jrhVSMVy-Q) has since given an update on the winger amid strong links to Newcastle United, with him saying that a deal has now been ‘agreed’ worth £45m, and he will have his medical on Tyneside ‘in the next 24 hours’.

Once Gordon leaves, then the Merseyside club will be expected to be looking for a replacement, which would likely become Dyche’s first signing in charge.

### The Latest: Tete interest

Taking to Twitter, journalist [Alex Crook](https://twitter.com/alex_crook/status/1618920623199391745) says that the Toffees, as well as Leicester City, are ‘interested’ in signing Tete:

*“Understand #LCFC and #EFC are both interested in signing Lyon winger Tete. Not sure that’s the case with #LUFC at this stage.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

With Gordon heading to the North East, it is imperative that the Blues get a replacement in, and they should be looking to sign Tete ahead of their Premier League rivals.

However, they may have to be quick, with [reports](https://twitter.com/RobDorsettSky/status/1618943234293792768) that Leicester are making good progress with a deal.

Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has hailed Tete as a player who has been ‘[on fire](https://twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1560730741536849926?s=46&t=gQKUpGA1OmlEHL7dHLtvbA)‘ so far this season, evidenced by the fact that he has six goals and five assists in 19 games in total over all competitions from the wing ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tete/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/371256/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

At just 22, the Brazilian is only one year older than Gordon, and so would be a viable replacement once the Englishman makes his move to the Magpies.
