Everton make bid for Digne

Everton have made a bid of £22m for Barcelona left-back Lucas Digne. The French international is second choice at Barcelona, behind Jordi Alba, and he has attracted interest from both Bayern Munich and Juventus. The Spanish club do not want to sell, but the 25 year old is keen to leave after his lack of playing time cost him his place in France’s World Cup squad this summer.

Paper Round’s view: With Leighton Baines in his mid-thirties, and much of the squad at Goodison Park on the wrong side of 27, new Everton boss Marco Silva is attempting to bring down the average age of the squad. Digne has experience at the top level - he also played for Paris Saint-Germain - and would probably succeed in the Premier League. The only worry is if a bigger club comes in for him.

Anthony Martial can be "one of the best players in the world", according to Manchester United team-mate Ander Herrera . Martial had a frustrating second season under Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford - scoring nine goals in 18 starts - leading to him being left out of France's World Cup-winning squad and linked with a move away.

Herrera has been impressed by Martial's start to pre-season and has backed him to rediscover his form this term. "He's very talented," the Spanish midfielder said . "He can be one of the best players in the world and I think he is very focused this season to smash it.
