Everton boosted in hunt for Napoli midfielder Allan, Gattuso admits players will leave
Everton have received a timely boost in their pursuit of Napoli midfielder, Allan, with the Italian club’s manager, Gennaro Gattuso, admitting that some of his players will leave this summer.
The former AC Milan star made the admission in an interview with , where he conceded that he is likely to be operating with only ’70-80%’ of his current squad next season.

Everton need to move now and secure their man. It’s that simple.
