Rafa Benitez has been quiet in the transfer window since taking over at Goodison but with bids of £15.4m coming in from Rubin Kazan and Bordeaux a similar offer could be coming in to take the Frenchman to Merseyside.

With a year left on his contract Celtic have been expecting bids coming in for Edouard who joined from Paris Saint Germain for £9m in June 2018 after a successful season on loan.
The French side are due 40% of any fee above £9m for Edouard but in the current market there was a risk that the striker could run down his contract and leave for free next summer.
Celtic have been strongly linked with signing VVV Venlo striker Georgis Giakoumakis indicating a busy few days before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
