With Jordan Pickford set to feature for England again tonight, Everton supporters have another reason to keep an eye on the World Cup. The tournament has produced some memorable moments for Blues over the years, whether that has been goals, penalty saves or performances that captured attention far beyond Merseyside. From Tim Cahill’s volley against […]
Idrissa Gana Gueye’s Everton contract runs out on June 30, and after two solid performances at the World Cup, the timing of his expiry couldn’t be more tricky. With Senegal needing a win over Iraq this Friday just to stay alive in the tournament, Gueye’s club future and his country’s campaign are now tangled up […]
Everton are still tracking Lyon defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles as part of a broader summer recruitment strategy to secure a long-term option at right-back, according to a joint report from TEAMtalk and Graeme Bailey. The former Arsenal academy graduate is understood to be prominent on a growing shortlist of targets compiled by Everton’s recruitment staff. However, […]
PSR has been one of the most talked-about acronyms in Everton’s recent history, sitting behind the 2023-24 points deduction, the club’s ongoing appeal against Burnley, and a fair chunk of the financial caution that’s shaped recruitment under multiple owners. But PSR’s days are numbered. From next season, it’s being scrapped entirely in favour of a […]
Hull City have registered interest in signing Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam, with the Toffees willing to sell this summer if their £20m asking price is met. According to the latest update from Baz Cooper, citing sources close to HDM Hull City, Everton would be open to letting Iroegbunam go, and a fee in the region […]
When England face Ghana in the World Cup later, much of the attention will focus on Thomas Tuchel’s chosen starting XI. For Everton supporters, however, there is another reason to watch closely.

Everton’s PSR saga is back in the headlines this week, and fan forums and football finance circles alike have been mulling over the club’s appeal against an independent commission’s ruling that they owe Burnley £35m in compensation. It’s a case unlike anything English football has dealt with before, and however it lands, it could matter […]
It has been one of the longest-running sagas of Everton’s summer, and Hayden Hackney still isn’t an Everton player. Despite weeks of reported progress, a shifting valuation, and a clear desire from the midfielder himself to move to Merseyside, the deal remains unresolved heading into the final weeks before pre-season. Here’s where things actually stand, […]
Everton supporters have spent much of the summer discussing high-profile attacking targets, but the club’s reported interest in Sander Berge may prove to be the most important piece of business completed this summer. The Norway international delivered another reminder of his quality in last night’s 3-2 World Cup victory over Senegal, producing a commanding midfield […]
Monaco are willing to sell striker Folarin Balogun to Everton this summer, but only if Everton table a very sizeable bid before the transfer window closes. Balogun has been one of the early breakout stars of the World Cup, scoring twice in the USA’s 5-1 win over Paraguay as Mauricio Pochettino’s side reached the knockout […]
Everton are now in talks with both RB Leipzig and TSG Hoffenheim over the sale of striker Thierno Barry, with the Toffees holding out for a fee between £30m-£35m. The Blues signed Barry from Villarreal for around £26m last year, and any deal below their current valuation would represent a financial loss on that outlay, […]
Senegal’s World Cup campaign took a hit at MetLife Stadium last night, beaten 3-2 by a Norway side with Erling Haaland in irresistible form. For the two Everton players in the squad, it was a tale of two very different evenings. Idrissa Gana Gueye put in a good shift in midfield as his country fought […]
