The sports news outlet provided the update via their Twitter account, with the French striker set to rejoin his old club on loan after just one season at Goodison Park, having arrived from Brighton last season.

Maupay had fallen down the pecking order at Everton after the club secured deals for strikers Youssef Chermiti and Beto from Sporting CP and Udiense respectively, who are both ahead of Maupay in the line for minutes.

Maupay had a prolific season with Brentford in the Championship, as he scored 28 goals in the 2018/19 season before signing for Brighton, and will be hoping to rediscover his form in front of goal in his latest transfer move from Everton.

The Merseyside club decided Maupay was surplus to requirements at the club following at transfer window which has seen them sign two new strikers to play alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with youngster Lewis Dobbin also providing an alternative option for cover.If Maupay hits the ground running at Brentford, the typical questions will arise as to why he was allowed to leave Goodison Park, but after a poor season that saw him score just one goal in 33 games, his exit seemed inevitable in the summer transfer window.

A loan move means a return to Goodison Park next season will remain open if he regains form and Everton hope that can happen.

There is still time for the deal to be broken up before the transfer deadline, but that seems unlikely at this stage.

Everton transfer news as Harrison Reed update emerges before deadline

Fulham have dug in to keep hold of midfielder Harrison Reed despite interest from both Everton and Wolves in signing him before the transfer deadline, according to Nizaar Kinsella.

The Evening Standard journalist shared via his personal Twitter account that, while any incoming deals at Craven Cottage feel quiet as things stand, they have made sure to hold on to their midfield ace.

Fulham standing firm

Despite Everton’s interest in signing Reed as the transfer deadline rapidly approaches, Fulham have stood firm in their plans not to sell one of their key players, despite the news that they will also be keeping Palhinha at the club, in a successful day for the West London club.

For Everton, it is a shame that they have missed out on a new midfield recruit. With Alex Iwobi set to move in the other direction and join Fulham before the deadline, they will be missing his presence in the centre of the park, where he played so well last season.Iwobi had been starting on the wing so far this season due to injuries and a lack of depth out wide, but there is no doubt that his best performances at Goodison Park came from a more central position. Losing him is a blow to the Merseyside club as they lacked depth even before his departure.

Reed’s technical ability and confidence in possession would have been a useful asset to Sean Dyche’s side. He is able to keep possession while bringing his teammates into play, making his job look simple while also creating attacking chances with his passing range.
