Lucas Digne: Everton defender wants to leave, says boss Rafael Benitez

Everton defender Lucas Digne has asked to leave the club, says Toffees manager Rafael Benitez.

The France international has not played since 1 December and has drawn interest from several clubs including Newcastle.

Benitez says Digne told him he "doesn't want to be here".

Italian clubs are also interested in the 28-year-old and Everton are keen on a sale to provide vital funds after they signed Ukraine left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko earlier in January.

Following a disagreement over tactics and his role in the team, Digne returned to the Everton squad as an unused substitute for Sunday's home defeat by Brighton.

But Benitez said Digne's desire to leave was "very clear", adding: "I want to ask a question to every fan or former player. What would you say to a player who doesn't want to be there?

"It is simple. I had a couple of conversations with him, he told me what he thought."

Digne could go to Newcastle as part of a swap, with Benitez interested in signing Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff, who he worked with while he was Magpies manager.

Eddie Howe's side are 19th in the Premier League table and have one win all season, but earlier on Friday completed the signing of England full-back Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid for £12m.

Benitez is looking to "create a winning mentality" at Everton and said "you need players that really want to be here".

"Do we want to try and grow and improve?" he continued. "Or just to manage the egos and then leave the team behind, depending on the egos?"

Rafa confirms the loan agreement [plus an option] for Anwar El Ghazi was part of the deal done for Lucas Digne. "Thinking about the COVID situation, possible injuries, AFCoN with Iwobi away. There was the possibility to bring in quality who gives us different options."

Official and confirmed. Anwar El Ghazi joins Everton on loan from Aston Villa, deal sealed and now announced. 🔵🤝 #EFC

Buy option will be regularly included as reported yesterday - not mandatory, around ?10m.

Anwar El Ghazi joins Everton on loan from Aston Villa

Everton have signed Aston Villa forward Anwar El Ghazi on loan until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old becomes Everton's third signing of the January transfer window, following the arrivals of Ukraine left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko and Scotland right-back Nathan Patterson.

The move follows Everton's sale of left-back Lucas Digne to Aston Villa in a deal worth up to £25m.

"Everton is a big club; I cannot wait to get started," El Ghazi said.

"I just want to focus on working hard, getting into the team, fighting for my place and, with the boys, to get Everton where it belongs - that is much higher up the table.

"I can always score a goal in an important moment. I can add a lot of value with my pace and technique going forward. I can hold the ball and I am decent in one-on-ones. I am ready and can't wait."

El Ghazi, who started his career at Ajax before moving to Lille and on to Villa, scored 10 goals in 17 Premier League starts and 11 substitute appearances last season.

He played a key role in helping Villa back to the Premier League in 2019, scoring the opening goal in their Championship play-off final win over Derby
