According to the latest report on Sky Sports and Echo, Everton chiefs have agreed to name Rafa Benitez as new manager and the announcement would be next week.

Rafa Benitez is not new in the Premier League having managed Liverpool and steered them to glory winning the Champions League and FA Cup titles.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Dominic Calvert-Lewin emerged as a top transfer target for new Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti this summer.

The Italian-born tactician was named Los Blancos' next handler after the exit of Zinedine Zidane at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Ancelotti didn't think twice to quit his role as the Toffees head coach for a return to the Santiago Bernabeu despite his £1million-a-month deal at the Premier League club.

He is now planning to raid the Goodison Park for his former striker Calvert-Lewin in a deal that could be valued at about £50 million.

The former Chelsea boss was quoted to have described the English man as a complete striker during his reign at the EPL club.
