Everton could reportedly make contact over a possible move for Mauro Icardi in the coming days as David Moyes continues to consider the free-agent market. The Argentine striker’s name has gathered momentum since the transfer window closed, with Everton initially offered the chance to sign the 33-year-old before a separate report suggested he was being […]
The list of free-agent strikers available to Everton is beginning to shrink, leaving David Moyes with an increasingly awkward decision. Moyes confirmed last week that the Toffees were looking at the free-agent market after Deadline Day left Thierno Barry as his only recognised senior No.9. Since then, plenty of names have been thrown into the […]
Ainsley Maitland-Niles has only been at Everton a matter of days, but it sounds as though he has already worked out what is required. The Deadline Day signing enjoyed quite the introduction on Sunday, coming off the bench and smashing home a 96th-minute equaliser in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United. His comments afterwards about […]
It feels a long time since Charly Alcaraz first arrived at Everton and immediately looked like he might become a fan favourite. Energy, aggression and unpredictability. Evertonians liked him. He scored against Crystal Palace on his first Premier League start, contributed at both ends of the pitch and did more than enough during his loan […]
Anthony Martial is reportedly open to joining Everton, but wages could prove an obstacle to any deal for the free-agent striker. The former Manchester United forward has been linked with the Toffees since their chaotic end to the transfer window, when Beto was sold to Fiorentina, and a proposed £40m move for Folarin Balogun collapsed. […]
If Everton thought closing the transfer window would end the striker conversation, today offered a fairly emphatic answer. Mauro Icardi, Anthony Martial, Jordan Ayew and Danny Ings have all been discussed, while more has emerged about the failed attempt to bring Richarlison back. Throw in Ainsley Maitland-Niles reflecting on a fairly spectacular debut and a […]
More has emerged about Everton‘s failed attempt to bring Richarlison back to Merseyside during the final days of the transfer window. The Toffees explored a reunion with the Brazilian before Deadline Day, with Tottenham valuing the striker at around £35m. Richarlison stayed in north London, but subsequent reports have provided more detail about why the […]
Earlier today, we reported that Everton had been offered the chance to sign Mauro Icardi. A separate report now suggests the Argentine is among the options being considered by the Toffees. Argentine transfer journalist Germán García Grova reported overnight that the 33-year-old free agent had been offered to Everton. As we stressed in our earlier […]
Dig around in the archives for long enough and occasionally you stumble across something that could have been said yesterday. Back in November 2004, David Moyes was attempting to get a tune out of an Everton squad short on numbers following the summer departure of Wayne Rooney to Manchester United. Moyes acknowledged the problem. Then […]
The names keep coming. Mauro Icardi, Anthony Martial, Jordan Ayew and Danny Ings have all entered the Everton conversation since the transfer window closed. None is the striker Everton expected to be considering at this stage. But with Thierno Barry the only recognised senior No.9 in David Moyes’ squad, the question isn’t going away. Do […]
The list of free-agent strikers being linked with Everton continues to grow, although one familiar Premier League name has so far stayed largely beneath the radar. Danny Ings remains without a club following his departure from Sheffield United and has been put forward as another possible solution to David Moyes’ shortage of options at No.9. […]
Everton have been urged to consider free-agent striker Jordan Ayew as David Moyes continues to operate with precious little cover for Thierno Barry. Ayew is available after leaving Leicester City and certainly knows his way around English football. The Ghana international has made 305 Premier League appearances, scoring 42 goals for Aston Villa, Swansea City, […]
