Ben Doak shares three-word message as Liverpool to Everton switch looms
Ben Doak has shared an update on social media as rumours swirl of a potential switch from Liverpool to Everton this summer.
The 19-year-old winger faces an uncertain future at Anfield after starring for Championship side Middlesbrough last season, notching three goals and seven assists in 24 appearances.
Flourishing under the leadership of Man United legend Michael Carrick, who is no longer in charge at the Riverside Stadium, multiple teams have taken an interest in the young star this summer.
Mick Brown told Football Insider in April that Liverpool are ready to sell Doak to Everton, with the belief that he will not become a regular starter under Arne Slot on the red side of Merseyside.
With his future up in the air this summer, the player has shared a quick update on his training and fitness as speculation continues to spread in the media.

Taking to Instagram stories (20 June), Doak shared images of a training session while away on holiday, simply captioned: “Back at it,” with a battery emoji.
No player has moved directly from Anfield to the Toffees since the transfer of Gary Ablett in 1992.

Football Insider verdict
The Toffees have the potential to achieve so much more under Moyes’ leadership next season, having led the team away from the Premier League relegation zone following the sacking of Sean Dyche.
With three wins in the last four games of the season, the Blues ended up with a commendable 13th-place finish in the league table, just one spot below FA Cup winners, Crystal Palace.
They finished above the likes of Man United and Tottenham, and supporters will be extremely excited for the upcoming season, especially if the club can get the deals right over the coming weeks.
Football Insider understands that Everton and West Ham remain interested in Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, though PSV Eindhoven also have the chance to seal the 20-year-old’s signature.
Signing a new striker should be right at the top of the list of priorities, alongside another star defender, should Jarrad Branthwaite leave on a big-money move this summer.
It is a huge summer ahead for the Toffees, especially with new owners now in charge at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but fans must manage their expectations as The Friedkin Group settle into the Premier League.
