Mason Holgate can leave Everton this summer.
A report by Football Insider claims Everton’s Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest and newly-promoted Sheffield United – who have also been linked with a move for Conor Coady – have registered their interest in taking Holgate, who has two years left on his contract, on a temporary basis. And the ECHO understands that Holgate will be allowed to depart Goodison Park on either a permanent deal or a loan should a suitable offer be submitted in the current transfer window.
The 26-year-old last penned a contract extension on March 3, 2020 amid speculation at the time that Manchester City were weighing up a potential £30million bid for him that summer but he started just five Premier League matches last season. Only two of those came under new manager Sean Dyche, the first of which came at Crystal Palace, where he was sent off after 80 minutes for two bookable offences in a goalless draw, while he then endured another difficult afternoon out of position at left-back against Man City in a 3-0 home defeat.
