Everton may release Former Barcelona player this summer
Everton extended their unbeaten to four matches in the Premier League after securing a 1-1 draw away at relegation-threatened Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Friday night. The Portuguese playmaker hasn’t started since the Forest victory but was brought on in the 54th minute of last night’s draw in the hope of changing the game in Everton’s favour. However he displayed a poor performance and could not help his team win.
