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 […]
Everton’s Saturday afternoon news agenda is split neatly between summer planning, legal reassurance and a World Cup stage that could matter more than it first appears. David Moyes has offered the most significant Everton update of the day after addressing concerns over the Burnley compensation ruling and what it means for the club’s summer recruitment […]
Everton supporters are becoming accustomed to seeing Jarrad Branthwaite linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs. The latest reports suggest Bayern Munich are now among them. Manchester City and Manchester United have both been credited with an interest in the Everton defender over the past year, but Bayern’s reported involvement adds a fresh dimension to […]
Everton’s reported interest in Gabriel Jesus appears set to face a significant test, with Newcastle United also credited with an interest in the Arsenal forward. ReadEverton has already reported claims linking the Blues with a move for Jesus as David Moyes assesses options to strengthen his attack this summer. The latest reports suggest Everton are […]
David Moyes has moved to calm concerns over the club’s summer transfer plans after insisting the Burnley compensation ruling will have no impact on recruitment ahead of the new season. The Toffees are appealing a decision which could ultimately leave them facing a compensation bill approaching £40m following Burnley’s successful claim relating to Everton’s Premier […]
Reports from The Times and SportItalia’s Gianluigi Longari both point in the same direction – Everton want Raoul Bellanova, and the right flank is David Moyes’ top priority this summer. The need has been there for a while. Seamus Coleman gave everything to this football club across 16 years and leaves as a genuine Everton […]
Everton look set to win the race for Kai Hutchison, the 16-year-old Dundee United striker who rejected the chance to sign a professional contract at Tannadice and has set his sights on a move to Merseyside. The clubs are currently in compensation talks with a view to a transfer, with United pushing for a fee […]
World Cups, transfer windows and new stadiums have a habit of making supporters think about where their football club is heading. And as Everton prepare for another season at the Hill Dickinson, I keep finding myself returning to the same thought. The strangest thing about Everton these days is that they feel normal. That might […]
The end of Farhad Moshiri’s ownership has allowed Everton to begin looking forward again. The Friedkin Group inherited a club that had (just) survived successive relegation battles, navigated significant financial pressures and spent years trying to correct mistakes made in the transfer market. While there were some successes during Moshiri’s tenure, too many expensive signings […]
Charly Alcaraz always felt like one of those Everton signings that could go either way. You know the sort. Talented enough to get supporters excited. Young enough to convince yourself the best is yet to come. Expensive enough to make you nervous if it doesn’t. Everton have collected more than a few of those over […]
The World Cup has a habit of making you think about your clubs. As Jordan Pickford prepares to pull on the England shirt yet again, I found myself wondering where exactly he sits in Everton’s long and distinguished line of goalkeepers. It is not a bad debate to have. Everton have had some absolute giants […]
We already knew the agent was making calls. We already knew the contract talks had stalled. We already knew the World Cup was about to put Ndiaye in the biggest shop window in football. What hasn’t always been clear is that Manchester City are the club at the front of the queue. As reported a […]
