Everton sells Allen. Two years ago, Everton signed Allen from Napoli for £21m, but he has failed to start under Lampard this season and selling him is a wise choice. According to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian has joined Abu Dhabi side Al Wahda on a permanent contract and the transfer window for the UAE professional league remains open.
Observer: Everton's transfer policy has certainly been busy for a few years, but there has been little cohesion, which has almost cost them their place in the Premier League. Lampard looks capable of keeping them in the lead this year, which gives them the opportunity to reshape their long-term squad. It didn't work for Allen, so taking his salary off the books would help.
