A busy few days on Merseyside, with the transfer story of the weekend still developing this morning and two more names — one incoming, one already at the club — adding fresh Everton news threads. Here’s everything worth knowing. Al Hilal open talks for Ndiaye — and Everton dig in The weekend’s biggest story: Al […]
Earlier this afternoon, we/I published an article reporting that Everton had agreed to sell Iliman Ndiaye to Al Hilal for €75m (£64m). Unfortunately, this piece was based on a social media report from a fake account impersonating The Athletic journalist David Ornstein. There is currently no deal agreed between Everton and Al Hilal for Ndiaye, […]
Ahead of tomorrow night’s friendly at the bet365 Stadium, we thought we’d remind Everton fans of the history of this fixture… Some matter for what they mean right now. Others matter simply because they’ve been happening for ever. Everton vs Stoke is closer to the latter. These two have been meeting, in some form, since […]
Everton believe they hold the leverage in any negotiation over Iliman Ndiaye, with the club having no desire to sell a key player who still has three years left on his contract, according to Joe Thomas. The update builds on Fabrizio Romano’s report that Al Hilal have opened talks over a possible move, with the […]
The answer is probably no, but please bear with me… Everton’s right-back search has produced plenty of names this summer and not much else. Zakaria El Ouahdi is tangled in a three-way pursuit involving Roma and Crystal Palace. Alistair Johnston is being watched rather than chased. Rico Lewis remains of genuine interest, with Man City […]
Everton’s pursuit of a Serie A winger has moved from ‘interest’ to firm discussions, and the man in question has taken one of the more unusual routes to a Premier League return. Jonathan Rowe came through Norwich City’s academy and made his senior breakthrough during the Canaries’ 2023/24 Championship campaign, scoring 12 league goals and […]
Al Hilal have opened talks over a move for an Everton attacker this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Saudi Pro League club are said to be targeting Iliman Ndiaye as they look to add a second marquee attacking signing after completing a deal for Crysencio Summerville from West Ham. Romano reports that negotiations remain […]
Yesterday’s ranking of Everton’s home kits since 1992 covered the shirts themselves. This is the big badge stuck on the front of them — arguably even less important, and just as guaranteed to have every Evertonian disagreeing with the order. CMC Markets became the tenth company to have a go this summer, so it felt […]
Everton could be without James Garner for the start of the Premier League season after the midfielder underwent surgery on a groin problem. Garner missed last weekend’s friendly against Dundee with the issue, which the club said would be assessed further. He was absent again on Saturday against Bolton, and Everton confirmed afterwards that the […]
Nottingham Forest are considering a move for Everton striker Beto, according to the Daily Mail’s Simon Jones. Oliver Glasner’s side are believed to be assessing the Guinea-Bissau international striker as an option, with the two clubs likely to be competing for similar positions in the table again this season. Nothing has been confirmed beyond that […]
Everton couldn’t add to the four they put past Dundee last weekend, drawing a blank at Bolton in their second pre-season friendly. None of that will trouble David Moyes. At this stage, it’s about legs and lungs rather than the score, and there was plenty of honest running put in on both sides at the […]
From NEC and Umbro classics to Hummel’s return and Castore’s new era, Everton have worn some unforgettable home shirts over the past three decades. Some have become icons. Others are best left in the club shop archive. Here is our ranking of every Premier League-era Everton home shirt. Ask ten Evertonians to name the club’s […]
