Everton’s interest in Celtic right-back Alistair Johnston is genuine, but a deal is not as close as some reports have claimed, according to the Liverpool Echo. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill confirmed contact from Everton in his pre-match press conference ahead of Celtic’s Scottish Premiership opener against Dundee. He said David Moyes had called him the […]
I’ll be honest — I’ve lost track of this one, so it’s fair to assume that you may have too. Talks, agreed personal terms, a very reassuring phone call from Dad, etc etc. So we’ve built a timeline to keep everyone straight, ourselves very much included. While we’re being honest: about a week ago we […]
Atletico Madrid are considering a move for Jack Grealish, in what could complicate Everton hopes of bringing the winger back to Merseyside. Diego Simeone views Grealish as a strong tactical fit at the Wanda Metropolitano, though Atletico have not yet decided whether to make an offer, according to reports. Grealish spent last season on loan […]
Hull City have made an approach to Everton for midfielder Tim Iroegbunam, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The Tigers are looking at either a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation to buy. Several other clubs are also interested. Hull first showed interest in June. Reports at the time suggested Everton would be willing […]
Yes, we’re aware Hamburg was Saturday. Yes, every other Everton outlet has had their ratings up since about 9pm that night. In my defence, the kids wanted to see Spider-Man and sometimes, occasionally things take priority over transfer gossip. Better late than never — here’s what we made of it. It wasn’t the most convincing […]
Everton are among four clubs showing interest in Atletico Madrid right-back Nahuel Molina, as the Spanish side look to raise funds this summer. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Atletico’s business has been slow to get going because of their need to sell before they buy. Diego Simeone wants to keep Alexander Sørloth, leaving Molina as the more […]
Everton are preparing an approach for a Manchester United striker who has barely featured for the club. Fabrizio Romano reported on Saturday that the Toffees are drawing up a formal proposal for Ethan Wheatley, 20, who has spent the past two seasons out on loan. Moyes’ club are said to be finalising a proposal before […]
The wide-eyed wonder has evaporated. Long gone. There was, understandably, a period of grace extended across last season. Moving away from Goodison Park—a ground steeped in over a century of history, noise, and memories—was never going to be seamless. The initial months at Hill Dickinson were largely defined by the sheer scale of the place: […]
Everton beat Hamburger SV 2-1 at the Volksparkstadion, bouncing back from a 1-0 defeat to Stoke in midweek. It was Everton’s fourth pre-season fixture, and their second win of the summer. Merlin Röhl gave Moyes’ side the lead five minutes into first-half stoppage time. Thierno Barry did the work, holding off a defender before flicking […]
Everton have agreed a deal in principle with Arsenal for Christian Nørgaard, David Ornstein reported on Saturday, with the news breaking during Everton’s friendly against Hamburg. The fee is around £7m. Nørgaard is 32, a Denmark international, and joined Arsenal from Brentford a year ago for roughly £10m. He made one Premier League start, on […]
Everton and Bologna are some way apart on a fee for Jonathan Rowe, according to journalist Sean Lunt of Sports Witness. Everton are said to be willing to pay £29.9m for the winger, while Bologna are holding out for closer to £34.2m. Talks between the two clubs were first reported a week ago, with Everton […]
Everton’s Hamburg trip was always about more than just 90 minutes of football. The cynics would argue that’s a good thing given the current form. Ahead of today’s pre-season meeting with Hamburger SV, travelling Evertonians came together on Friday evening for a special supporters’ event designed to celebrate the bond between the club and its […]
