Everton will launch
a determined bid to land David Bentley if fears over Mikel Arteta’s
Goodison Park future prove well founded.
Goodison bosses
believe they may have to sell Arteta to Atletico Madrid for around £8m
following claims his advisers have been trying to engineer a move back
to Spain.
If the deal goes through, Everton would step up their
pursuit of Bentley after identifying him as the ideal replacement on
the right flank.
Manchester City are prepared to bid £15m for
Blackburn's unsettled midfielder, but Everton believe he would favour
joining them.
If so, City could switch their sights to Genoa’s £7m-rated Abdoulay Konko.
