Everton rejected a late approach from Chelsea for James Garner during the closing stages of the summer transfer window. Chelsea were looking for another midfielder as Enzo Fernández closed in on his £125m move to Manchester City and turned their attention to one of David Moyes‘ most important players. The Bobble reported that Chelsea valued […]
Everton eventually ended their long search for another right-back by signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon – but he wasn’t the man they expected to bring in on Deadline Day. According to The Guardian, Everton had actually agreed a £9m fee with Fulham for Kenny Tete. At that stage, the Dutch international appeared to be heading […]
Ainsley Maitland-Niles was not the player most Everton supporters expected to see arrive on Deadline Day. For much of the summer, other names had dominated the search for another full-back and, even on the final day of the window, Fulham’s Kenny Tete appeared a more obvious possibility. Instead, Everton moved for Maitland-Niles and completed a […]
The summer transfer window is over, and Everton have completed their business – but David Moyes has been left with a squad containing two glaring areas of concern. The Toffees added seven senior players, including the return of Jack Grealish, Brennan Johnson and highly-rated midfielder Hayden Hackney. There were also some major departures. Iliman Ndiaye […]
You couldn’t make it up…. After a 79-day summer transfer window, Everton have somehow emerged from it with one recognised senior centre-forward. One. And that’s Thierno Barry, a player whose own future was the subject of speculation earlier in the summer after RB Leipzig enquired about his availability. Whatever your view of the individual deals […]
There are still 50 minutes to go. And, given the way this transfer window has gone, it would probably be daft to assume we have heard the last of it. But as things stand, this has not been a good summer for Everton. In fact, unless something fairly dramatic happens between now and 11pm, there […]
Everton reportedly had a late bid rejected for Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling on Monday night – and while the approach itself is now old news, it perhaps tells us something more interesting about the Toffees’ Deadline Day thinking. According to Royal Blue Mersey, Everton made an offer for the Germany international before Stuttgart turned it […]
Richarlison is now unlikely to make a Deadline Day return to Everton, with the Toffees not expecting to re-sign their former forward barring a dramatic late change. Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold reports that, as things stand, Everton are not expecting Richarlison to return to Hill Dickinson Stadium before Tuesday night’s deadline. Sky Sports reporter Alan […]
Everton have agreed a €5m deal with Lyon to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles, according to Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam. Everton have moved quickly for the versatile former Arsenal player, who is now travelling from France to the UK ahead of completing the move. McAdam reports that an agreement has been reached with Lyon for €5m, […]
Everton have rejected a Deadline Day enquiry from West Ham United for Michael Keane, with the experienced defender now expected to remain at the Hill Dickinson. According to The Athletic’s Paddy Boyland, Everton were approached by West Ham over the possibility of signing Keane on a permanent deal. The Toffees rejected the enquiry, and the […]
Everton’s move for Kenny Tete has reportedly hit a late complication despite the Toffees agreeing a deal with Fulham for the right-back. TEAMtalk reports that Everton and Fulham have agreed terms on a transfer worth just under £10m, with a medical already booked for the 30-year-old. The problem is at the Fulham end. The Cottagers […]
Nathan Patterson is set to leave Everton for Torino after the two clubs agreed a permanent Deadline Day transfer for the Scotland international. The 24-year-old is already in Turin and is due to undergo a medical before completing his move to the Serie A club. According to Sky Sport Italia reporter Luca Bendoni, Everton will […]
