How much are André Gomes and Kurt Zouma for Everton as the transfer window gets closer

Everton has once again used the credit market to its advantage this season.

The Blues were able to confirm the temporary signatures of André Gomes and Kurt Zouma late in the summer transfer window, and both continued to be an integral part of the current squad.

The former held a regular spot in the middle of the field and added a brilliant quality to Everton's team – while the latter became a crucial cog for a defense that improved considerably in the thread of the campaign.

As we get closer and closer to the summer transfer window, questions about the long-term future of both actors are starting to emerge.

Many fans think that the Blues should seek to engage the two players this summer – but what are they worth each if it should happen?

We had our say and you can also submit your answers for each player.

André Gomes

Everton fans are starting to revisit the best of Gomes.

The midfielder came to the club on a temporary basis from Barcelona, ​​where he did not have enough opportunities to show that he could still qualify at the highest level.

It certainly displays that right now.

After a slight dip in winter, the midfielder is back on top of his game and dominates all the opponents against which he is placed at the minute.

Asked recently about his future, the 25-year-old remained shy, stating, "I love playing for Everton and enjoying my life here, but I have to wait until the end of the season.

"I am one of the people who can decide on the future but I am still a Barcelona player and I have to respect everyone.

"I'll decide at the end of the season, but for now I'm happy here."

The Catalan giants will certainly want a good return for a player for whom they have already played a lot, and will have kept an eye on the performances of the Portuguese international Premier League.

One might think that Everton's decision would hugely depend on the price, but there must be a limit to what the Blues will pay. Could a cheaper option come elsewhere?

VERDICT – £ 35m

Kurt Zouma

The situation of Zouma is obviously unique and could be problematic for Everton in many ways.

This will not only be because of the transfer scenario of Chelsea, but also the will of the player himself.

Let 's not forget that when the defender first moved to Goodison Park, his thoughts still seemed to be focused on improving quality at Stamford Bridge.

In August, he said: "Since I've been there, I've always wanted to show myself to Chelsea.I know my injuries prevented me from playing, but injuries are part of football. and I want to show people that I can come back and play there. "

Whether he has changed his mind or not since is another matter – but the west side of London will certainly not let the defender fight without a fight.

The French international will still have four years to his contract this summer. At the time of writing, Chelsea should still be subject to a transfer ban – which would mean he could not sign a replacement if he let Zouma go.

A promising young talent like the central defender would still cost a lot of money, but these circumstances could well drive up the price even more if the Blues pursued that path.

Again, is there a possibility of a cheaper option elsewhere? Marcel Brands will surely explore this avenue.

VERDICT – £ 35m
