I’ve made a potentially daft decision. Bear with me. I’m going to rank Everton’s cult heroes. There is, admittedly, one fairly significant problem with this: at heart, I’m a Norwich City supporter. Evertonians know that, so I won’t insult anyone’s intelligence by pretending I’m about to produce the definitive answer. I have a great deal […]
Everton have followed up Iliman Ndiaye’s rejection of Al-Hilal by drawing a hard line of their own, telling the winger’s camp he is not for sale — with sources suggesting it would take a fee in excess of £100m to change their minds. It’s the club’s response to a situation that’s been building all week. […]
Everton’s move for Daniel Munoz has reportedly been reduced to a single obstacle: David Moyes making up his mind. According to Alan Nixon, terms for a deal are not considered a problem, with a fee of around £20m enough to get a deal for the Crystal Palace right-back done. What’s holding things up, in Nixon’s […]
Cross another right-back off the list… probably. Kyle Walker’s rumoured move to Everton has taken another turn, with BBC Radio Merseyside’s Giulia Bould directly contradicting Tuesday’s reports linking the two. Bould, reporting via the BBC Sport transfer feed, says her understanding is that a Walker deal is “a non starter” — and, more pointedly, that […]

Fresh reports out of Manchester indicate that Jack Grealish is unlikely to feature in Enzo Maresca’s plans, and these have given Everton a clear signal to reignite negotiations for the 30-year-old. While David Moyes and the recruitment team at Finch Farm have long maintained their interest following Grealish’s loan spell, City’s internal stance has always […]
Tolstoy’s War and Peace is around 1300 pages long. It took him six years to write it. Yet, it threatens to pale into insignificance when compared to the column inches and web pages dedicated to Everton’s search for a right-back. The search for a new right-back has become less a transfer priority and more a […]
Brennan Johnson has hit back at the pundits who mocked his move to Everton — and did so with just a few carefully chosen words. Responding to comments underneath a post referencing Jamie O’Hara and Gabby Agbonlahor’s dismissal of the Everton-Crystal Palace swap deal, Johnson wrote: “Won more than both of these put together 😂.” […]
Everton are said to be considering a move for Kyle Walker, whose search for regular Premier League football took an unexpected detour to Turf Moor last summer.

Morocco international left-back Adam Aznou has no intention of leaving Everton on loan this summer and is focused on pushing for a place in David Moyes’ team. According to a report from TEAMtalk’s Fraser Fletcher, the 20-year-old full-back is enjoying pre-season with Everton and has no loan offers or exit plans on the horizon. Having […]
A transfer window wouldn’t be a transfer window without talkSPORT’s tiresome ‘finest’ finding a way to slate the summer recruitment of Everton. *Sigh.* The latest topic in their crosshairs? Everton’s direct swap deal with Crystal Palace that saw Dwight McNeil head to Selhurst Park in exchange for Wales international Brennan Johnson. Reacting to the move, […]
