'Walker past his best and has definitely regressed'
Everton fan and podcaster Warren Doyle says he feels "a little bit uneasy" with the Toffees' emerging links to Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker, adding that the 35-year-old "isn't the player he once was".Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside about the transfer rumours, Doyle said: "A lot of respected journalists have been mentioning this as a real possibility."Kyle Walker has been a wonderful player during his time at Manchester City. He has got a medal haul there and won lots of titles, but I just feel he is probably past his best now."He has definitely regressed. The things that made him such a strong player were his speed and pace, and I don't think he's at the level he was maybe even a year ago."I can see why Everton are possibly interested in him because it's looking very much like Michael Keane is going to leave on a free transfer, so we probably do need another centre-back as cover."Walker can offer cover at right-back and centre-back as well, so maybe Everton are looking at it from that point of view and thinking about his Premier League experience."I would like to see Everton go for someone a bit younger. He isn't the profile of player I would like to see us sign."If David Moyes wants to go for him, though, I've got faith in what he wants to do and what his plans are. It's just not a signing that I would personally like to see."Listen to the full conversation on BBC Sounds

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is left in limbo as Everton offer new deal to two stars but talks with striker break down as his contract expires
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks increasingly likely to leave the club after failing to agree on a new contract. The 28-year old is a free agent and is interested in a move to Italy though will consider all options. Everton revealed on Monday that they had offered new contracts to Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gueye and were continuing 'to liaise with representatives' of both Cavert-Lewin and Michael Keane. But talks with the striker appear to have broken down. Speaking on the High Performance Podcast, Calvert-Lewin — who has been with Everton since 2016 — revealed his desire to play in a 'winning environment' to help his Champions League and England ambitions. 'I have to be careful with what I say because I am still contracted to Everton, I have a long history with Everton and a big respect for the club,' he said. 'The main thing for me is I want to win, I want to be in a winning environment. After the last three or four seasons it has been about survival. 'When I started my career I wanted to play in the Premier League, play for England a go to major tournaments with England and play in the Champions League. I have played in a major tournament for England, I have played in the Premier League, but I haven't played in the Champions League. There are still things I would like to achieve before my time is done. 'To have the opportunity to decide potentially where that place will be. If it gives me the best opportunity and environment to win and score goals, then that would be the return of me to the England team and playing in the Champions League. 'That has been my driver to play at the highest level possible. My representation of that is the Champions League, World Cups, Euros and getting into that bracket of elite players.' Calvert-Lewis has earned 11 England caps, scoring four goals for the national team. Despite being a member of the squad to reach the European Championship final in 2021, Calvert-Lewin has not featured for the national team since.
