Everton willing to buy West Ham United winger Maxwel Cornet
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Everton has expanded its list of potential late transfer targets to encompass Maxwel Cornet, the attacker from West Ham United.
The print edition of the Daily Mail has divulged that the Merseyside club holds a keen interest in securing the services of the Ivorian winger. Noteworthy is Cornet’s versatility, as he is proficient in operating both as a forward and on the wider flanks.
Last summer, Cornet made a significant move from Burnley to West Ham for a substantial fee of £17.8 million. However, his aspirations of leaving an indelible mark on the pitch have remained largely unfulfilled, with the player failing to register any goals or assists across a mere 14 Premier League appearances.

Should the speculated transfer to Goodison Park come to fruition, Cornet would be reunited with his former mentor, Sean Dyche. Their prior collaboration at Turf Moor saw Cornet flourish under Dyche’s guidance, a pivotal factor that facilitated his lucrative transfer to East London despite Burnley’s eventual relegation and Dyche’s subsequent departure.
Having featured in 26 Premier League matches under the stewardship of Everton‘s current manager, Cornet demonstrated his prowess by netting nine goals and contributing an assist. His remarkable ability with his left foot shone through, a skill set that was honed even further as he transitioned from his conventional left-back role during his time at Lyon to a more advanced striker’s position.
