# Everton: Fans rage over Lucas Digne transfer claim

**Many Everton fans have been left raging over yet another transfer update that has emerged on Lucas Digne.**

Toffees fans were [furious earlier this week](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/transfer-news-lucas-digne-chelsea-premier-league/) when it emerged Chelsea are eyeing a move due to Ben Chilwell’s injury.

Now, as per [L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/) (via [Get French Football News](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2021/chelsea-prioritising-loan-signing-of-lucas-digne/)), the Londoners are prioritising a loan deal for the left-back in the [January transfer window](https://www.givemesport.com/1754870-january-transfer-window-2022-when-does-it-open-when-does-it-close-and-which-players-are-going-to-move), and report also states that the Goodison Park faithful currently value him at £25m.

Considering that he is currently standing at £27m according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lucas-digne/marktwertverlauf/spieler/126664), and he has been valued [even higher](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lucas-digne/marktwertverlauf/spieler/126664) during his time at the Merseyside club, £25m does seem too low of a price to sell Digne, especially if it is to a rival in the Premier League.

Nonetheless, it would be very difficult to find a suitable replacement for the France international midway through the season with that kind of budget, and as he is the [only](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/startseite/verein/29) senior left-back in the squad, one should question whether the Toffees should sell him anyway.

**“How can #everton sell a quality left-back for £25m yet Man U pay £80m for an average CB? If it’s to sell then make it £50m or there abouts.”**
