Everton midfielder Carlo Ancelotti loved has transfer 'agreement' to leave club
Everton midfielder Allan has 'reached an agreement' to leave Goodison Park and join UAE-based side Al-Wahda, according to reports.
Football Insider claims the Brazilian, who is yet to make a Premier League appearance for the Toffees this season, has agreed on a deal with Al-Wahda, who are managed by former Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal, and offered the midfielder a route out of Merseyside after a difficult few months.
Allan was signed by Carlo Ancelotti in the summer of 2020 from Napoli as part of a midfield shake-up which included James Rodriguez and Abdoulaye Doucoure, but has failed to impress Frank Lampard since the former Chelsea boss succeeded Rafa Benitez in January. Subsequently, Lampard has rather decided to bolster his ranks with the signing of Lille midfielder Amadou Onana and rewarding the ever-impressive Alex Iwobi with an extended run in the side.

Frank Lampard's side will face off against the Scottish Champions on Sunday, November 20 at the Accor Stadium, but if the game needed any extra spice then the revelation that Hoops boss Postecoglou is a Liverpool fan, should provide it.
Speaking about the forthcoming competition on Australian TV station Channel 10, he said: “It should be good. When overseas clubs come here, it’s always great, because people get to see their heroes close up. The difference for us is we’re not coming in pre-season. We’re literally playing on the weekend, getting on a plane and getting here.
