Everton begin another chapter of their long league history against Crystal Palace tomorrow, when the Hill Dickinson hosts the Blues’ first fixture of a new season for the first time. Football did not begin in 1992. Everton certainly did not. The Blues, as you know, were one of the 12 founder members of the Football […]
Everton have opened talks with Chelsea over a move for striker Liam Delap, according to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira. It’s the clearest sign yet that the Toffees’ long-running interest in the 23-year-old has moved into concrete negotiations, rather than the positioning and price-setting that’s characterised the story so far this summer. Chelsea are believed to […]
Everton’s transfer search took another turn on Thursday, with Gabriel Jesus emerging as a target and Timothy Castagne becoming the latest right-back under consideration. Plenty was happening away from the transfer market too. We took a detailed look at Everton’s position under the Premier League’s new Squad Cost Ratio rules, updated the club’s injury and […]
It may be an entirely innocent social media post. In August, however, Everton supporters are entitled to investigate everything. Everton’s media team have asked supporters to name their favourite player to have enjoyed two spells with the club. Under normal circumstances, that would be exactly what it appears to be: a harmless question designed to […]
Everton’s position under the Premier League’s new Squad Cost Ratio rules, tracked throughout 2026/27 as transfers and new financial information change the picture. Because clubs’ actual Squad Cost Ratio figures are not published in real time, every percentage and headroom figure on this page should be treated as an estimate. Where we have used modelling, […]
I should declare an interest before we start. I’m paid to care about Everton, and I really do. I was born caring about Norwich. And watching Ipswich operate in the transfer market this summer isn’t the guilty pleasure I hoped it would be — it’s been more a reminder of exactly how far ahead of […]
Everton have identified Fulham’s Timothy Castagne as a serious option to solve their right-back problem, according to The Athletic, with Crystal Palace’s Daniel Muñoz also under consideration. Castagne, 30, has fallen into a ‘squad’ role at Craven Cottage over the past two seasons but remains a regular for Belgium, helping his country reach the World […]
Everton have contacted Arsenal over a possible deal for Gabriel Jesus, according to Spanish outlet AS, with Ipswich Town reported to have made a similar approach. Arsenal have set an asking price in the region of £18-20m for the 29-year-old, who enters the final year of his contract next summer. Napoli have emerged as the […]
Jack Grealish has kept the No.18 shirt for Man City this season, with the number now shown next to his name in the club’s official squad listings for 2026/27. It’s the same number he wore during his loan spell at Everton last year, which he chose as a tribute to Wayne Rooney and Paul Gascoigne […]
A big day of Kinnear fallout, one new signing profile, and the transfer tracker refreshed as the right-back search rumbles on. Here’s everything from today in one place. New arrival Christian Nørgaard says Everton can be a set-piece force, drawing on his Brentford grounding to make a bold claim about Everton’s height and size in […]
Jack Grealish’s Everton situation has generated fresh interest this week after Angus Kinnear’s most detailed public comments yet. Here’s the full picture, from his arrival to where things stand now. The loan. Grealish joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City last summer, becoming the club’s marquee signing of that window. He made an […]
Angus Kinnear dropped one of the more intriguing lines of Everton’s summer this week, confirming the club would go into the Crystal Palace opener without a right-back rather than settle for anything less than “the number one right-back we wanted.” He didn’t name him. He didn’t rule anyone out either. Here’s who’s still in the […]
