Dani Ceballos is wanted by Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool closing in on Dani Ceballos

A Florentino Perez signing last summer, Dani Ceballos has struggled for playing time this season and has reportedly asked for a move away from the Bernabeu. Diario Gol reports that Madrid are ready to let the 21-year-old go with Liverpool set to be his next destination.

Jurgen Klopp is eyeing a creative midfielder in the summer and he believes that Ceballos fits the bill perfectly. Real Madrid will reportedly send the Andalusian on a season-long loan with an option to purchase for the Reds next summer.

This move is also reportedly being executed in order to have good relations with Liverpool to make a move for Mohamed Salah in the near future.

Everton planning to sack Sam Allardyce in the summer

After a bright start, the Toffees are currently in free fall under Sam Allardyce. Everton have lost six of their last nine league matches with Allardyce set to receive the boot in the summer.

The Daily Star reports that the veteran Englishman was never a long-term solution for the club and was only seen as a stop-gap measure. Paulo Fonseca of Shakhtar Donetsk is Everton's top choice to take over the club's reigns from Allardyce.
