David Moyes’ admiration for Jarrod Bowen is understandable given their successful time together at West Ham, but Everton cannot allow sentiment or familiarity to influence a transfer decision that should be judged solely on footballing merit, financial value and long-term fit. The reported interest in Bowen makes plenty of sense, however. The West Ham captain […]
Everton have made an official enquiry for Levante forward Karl Etta Eyong, but Ipswich Town remain the club furthest down the road in talks, leaving Moyes’ side needing to move quickly if they want to get involved. According to TEAMtalk, Ipswich have opened formal club-to-club discussions over the 22-year-old Cameroon international and regard him as […]
David Moyes is at it again, this time from a World Cup TV studio in New York rather than a press conference at Finch Farm. Appearing on talkSPORT’s Jim White World Cup show, Moyes pointed to Bournemouth and Brentford as the standard he wants Everton to match next season, rather than talking up a return […]
Duncan Ferguson spent the best part of a decade making opposing centre-halves regret getting out of bed. Watching him share an ITV sofa with Roy Keane, that same refusal to back down was still there – just aimed at arguments now instead of elbows (and foreheads). As the lone Scottish voice in the studio for […]
Everton have been credited with an interest in Taty Castellanos in recent weeks, although there has been little to suggest a move is actively being pursued. That is hardly surprising given the striker only arrived at West Ham in January. The Hammers are expected to build around several of their key players following relegation, and […]
Everton are set to make a decision on Harrison Armstrong’s future, with several Championship clubs keen to take the midfielder on loan for the 2026/27 season. According to reports, Derby County and Middlesbrough are among the sides tracking the Everton youngster, while Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers are also keeping a close eye on […]
Scotland’s bright start to the World Cup hit a speed bump as Morocco narrowly beat them 1-0 in Foxborough, with Ismael Saibari’s early strike enough to send the Atlas Lions top of Group C. Most expected Steve Clarke to go into the game with a similar set-up to the Haiti game, but a reshuffle, designed […]
Other Premier League clubs experienced mixed fortunes after relocating stadiums. The second season often reveals whether a move brings real progress. The excitement surrounding Hill Dickinson Stadium has subsided a little. No longer is it a novelty. Neither does the talk now centre on the venue itself. The views across the waterfront, the matchday experience […]
Everton’s search for a new striker appears to be gathering pace, with reports suggesting Feyenoord forward Ayase Ueda remains a player of interest ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. The Japan international has been linked with the Blues on several occasions in recent months and fresh claims indicate he is one of a number of forwards […]
Evertonians are used to seeing Andy Burnham in the headlines. Whether attending matches, speaking about the club or reflecting on Everton fortunes, the Greater Manchester Mayor has never hidden his affection for the Blues. Now, the long-time Everton season ticket holder has another achievement to add to his name after winning the Makerfield by-election and […]
Scotland take on Morocco at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough tonight, kicking off at 11pm BST, looking to build on John McGinn’s winner against Haiti and move closer to topping World Cup Group C. For Everton fans, the player to keep an eye on is Nathan Patterson – not because he’s starting, though, but because he […]
Everton have been keeping close tabs on Ivory Coast full-back Guela Doue, according to Football Insider, after the Strasbourg defender impressed in his side’s opening World Cup win over Ecuador. Doue started at right-back as Ivory Coast edged past Ecuador, helping his side to a clean sheet before Amad Diallo’s 90th-minute winner settled the contest. […]
