Everton is actively pursuing a transfer for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney as the summer transfer window approaches. The club has been in negotiations with Middlesbrough, but it appears the Championship side is demanding a higher fee than previously agreed. Last summer, Middlesbrough was willing to let Hackney go for £20 million, but following his impressive performances, they are now holding out for a fee of £20 million plus £5 million in bonuses. Despite interest from clubs like Crystal Palace and Hull City, Hackney is keen on joining Everton. The Blues are looking to strengthen their midfield, especially with Idrissa Gueye's contract expiring soon. Meanwhile, young winger Isaac Heath has left Everton to join Cambridge United after a successful loan spell at Accrington Stanley. Heath, who developed through Everton's academy, won multiple awards during his time at Accrington, showcasing his potential. As Everton navigates the transfer market, the focus remains on securing Hackney while managing player departures effectively.
