Everton have reportedly won the race for talented teenager M'Baye Niang, signing the 17-year-old just days before the close of the summer transfer window.
Niang was believed to be the subject of a failed bid from Arsenal earlier this summer, according to The Guardian, and was also thought to be a transfer target for Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan.
But according to The Sun, David Moyes has beaten out all rivals and agreed upon a deal with the French under-21 international.
The Everton chief has followed the £5.3 million capture of Kevin Mirallas by agreeing a £2 million deal for the Caen forward—leaving Arsenal empty handed for the second time in 24 hours.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was keen to sign the 17-year-old forward, as were AC Milan and Tottenham. But Moyes nipped in ahead of them and after Niang spent a few days training with the Blues, is expected to sort out personal terms over the next couple of days.

Following the departure of Jack Rodwell to Manchester City, Everton did have money to spend over the summer and with the signing of Niang, have found a great addition for the future at Goodison Park.

The Toffees started the 2012/13 English Premier League season in the best possible way—beating Manchester United and keeping a clean sheet—and are looking like a genuine threat to the top teams in the English competition this season.

If the latest reports are correct, M'Baye Niang would be the club's fourth signing this summer after picking up Steven Pienaar, Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas earlier in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal anchorman Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Frenchman hasn’t played for Mikel Arteta’s side since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in June, during which he was involved in a fracas with Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfits Lorient back in 2018, having started his career in the academy of PSG. He has played 82 games for the North London club, however, has not been in the matchday squad this campaign. He featured regularly under head-coach Unai Emery in his debut campaign back in 2018-19, playing in 33 of the Gunners 38 Premier League games.

In the game at Brighton – the Gunners second following the post-lockdown restart – he had to be pulled away from Maupay during a confrontation between both sets of play...

Why Debuchy is perfect replacement for Sagna at Arsenal

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him. Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt became a target as far back as January , while talks with Toulouse over Serge Aurier reached a very advanced stage . But as Debuchy makes his final preparations for life in north London, Wenger can be confident that he has secured a very profic...
