Everton have been linked with Colorado Rapids defender Lucas Herrington following reports of interest in the 18-year-old centre-back. Transfer ‘expert’ Ekrem Konur claims Barcelona have already had a bid rejected for the Australian youth international, while Everton, Napoli and AC Milan are among the clubs monitoring the situation. For Evertonians, this is very much a […]
Everton have had another busy day of transfer talk, World Cup interest and wider football debate. Here is your 2pm round-up of the key stories involving the Blues. Delap remains firmly on Everton radar Liam Delap continues to be linked with a move to Everton as David Moyes looks to strengthen his attacking options this […]
Lots of talk of an Everton bid for Liam Delap (who knows) but i the Toffees succeed in their reported pursuit of him, what will they be getting? Apparently, they will be signing more than a goalscorer. The 23-year-old has built a reputation as one of English football’s most promising young forwards, combining the physical […]
FIFA treating supporters as an inconvenience is not a modern invention. Long before expanded tournaments, bloated schedules and 2026’s stupid hydration breaks began making World Cup games feel suspiciously like four quarters, Goodison Park had already learned the lesson the hard way. In 1966, Everton did everything asked of it. Goodison hosted Brazil, Portugal, North […]
Nathan Patterson’s name has featured in plenty of transfer speculation recently, but one important point is worth remembering: he has never publicly indicated that he wants to leave Everton. That makes Scotland’s World Cup campaign an interesting one for Evertonians. After another season disrupted by injuries, Patterson finds himself at an important stage of his […]
Everton’s search for a new centre-forward is beginning to reveal something more interesting than a list of transfer targets. As reports linking the Blues with Liam Delap continue to gather momentum, fresh claims that Juventus striker Lois Openda has been offered to the club suggest David Moyes and Everton’s recruitment team could already be weighing […]
Everton know they need more goals next season. The bigger question is where they are prepared to look for them and how much they are prepared to spend. That dilemma has come into sharper focus following reports that Juventus striker Lois Openda has been offered to the Blues on the opening day of the summer […]
Everton supporters need no convincing about how good Iliman Ndiaye is. If anything, the latest reports linking Arsenal and Tottenham with the Senegal international merely confirm what Evertonians have been saying since he arrived on Merseyside. Good players attract attention. That’s obvious. The problem for Everton is that this attention arrives at a time when […]
Everton needing a right-back is hardly breaking news. Supporters have known it for months. David Moyes has known it for months. Anyone who watched Jake O’Brien do his decent impression of a specialist full-back last season knew it too. So, on the face of it, Everton reportedly stepping away from Aaron Wan-Bissaka feels a little […]
As England prep for another World Cup adventure, supporters will once again find themselves dreaming of images that have become part of football folklore. Bobby Moore lifting the trophy. David Beckham’s free-kick against Greece. The tears of Paul Gascoigne in Turin. For a generation of supporters, Gascoigne and England’s 1990 World Cup were inseparable. Italia […]
Brazil may have begun their latest World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Morocco, but there was little about the performance that evoked memories of football’s great entertainers. Hard working? Perhaps. Convincing? Not really. For long periods, the five-time world champions looked more workmanlike than brilliant, a far cry from the Brazil sides that […]
A Liverpool Echo feature revisiting Niclas Alexandersson’s World Cup memories offers more than a nostalgic look at a former Everton player. It serves as a reminder of a recurring problem that followed the Blues throughout the early Premier League era: signing established international footballers without ever seeing their best form on Merseyside. Alexandersson’s famous goal […]
