Roberto Martinez wants to hijack Newcastle’s move for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he tweaks the squad he inherited from David Moyes according to the Mirror
The Geordies fear the Goodison club are major rivals for the £15million-rated Gabon star, who this week expressed a desire to move to the Premier League.
Aubameyang is also wanted by Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, and the developing bidding war could spell bad news for Newcastle’s pursuit of the 24-year-old.
Last week Aubameyang said he would love to play in the Premier League
Everton could soon be cash-rich if the sale of Leighton Baines raises up to £17million from Manchester United and Marouane Fellaini is sold to a Champions League club.
Martinez has also been linked with a £6m swoop on previous club Wigan for striker Arouna Kone, and with Vitesse Arnhem hitman Wilfried Bony, who is also a Swansea target.
Everton are also in for Birmingham’s England Under-21 winger Nathan Redmond.

Exactly! RUMOUR
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I have never read anything so funny unless you want to go bankrupt as a club you won’t spend £15 million on one player you barely spend that on 4 or 5.
try re-reading YOUR article “The Mismanaging Of Everton Finances” as you’re obviously not taking note YOUR SKINT!!
Paul, i’ve not said we would. It’s an article from the mirror. That said, we are on the verge of selling Fellaini, Heitinga and Possibly Baines which will leave us with around £45m ontop of money from last year, wages saved and TV money. We spent £15m on Fellaini, so it possibly could happen!
P.S. we know we are skint, but the board will want to show all is right with the appointment of Martinez, so I would expect big stuff this summer.
Every player up for sale is coming to Everton according to the press! What a load of crap
