The summer transfer window is in full swing and Everton have been active in the early weeks of business. Tim Iroebugnam and Jack Harrison are already through the door, while Iliman Ndiaye is on the verge of a deal to join them at Finch Farm. Going the other way, Lewis Dobbin and Ben Godfrey have departed for useful transfer fees that strengthened the club’s accounts just before the end of the football financial year. As we continue to monitor developments, the ECHO’s Everton writers discussed some of the best and worst deals during the reign of current director of football…
Everton have already been far more active than anyone could have possibly predicted this summer, and the hope is that there is more to come. However, with PSR having devastated their most recent campaign, Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell will still be petrified of risking anything ahead of such a monumental season. This will be the Toffees’ final year at Goodison Park before they trade it for the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, and so they will want to ensure that a successful season is assured. That could be earned through the progression of those already at the club, but also through…
Liverpool was never going to sanction a transfer deal for Anthony Gordon that involved sacrificing Jarell Quansah, but there is admiration at Anfield for the Newcastle United and England winger. After the PSR deadline passed with Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson being sold for a combined $86m (£68m/€80m), Newcastle’s desperation for a sale to go through has gone. But it isn’t necessarily the end of the story: the fact that Gordon was put forward as a possible solution to cash in on remains intriguing given, according to Transfermarkt, he only has another two years left on his deal. Having seen…
The Blues will face Sligo Rovers on July 19th as part of their pre-season schedule with Seamus Coleman returning to his former club. [EFC] As Dan Friedkin plots his proposed takeover, Everton have a major advantage over Roma, the club he already owns, when it comes to the building of a new stadium. Everton are continuing the fight for a deal to sign midfielder Florentino Luis despite the arrival of Leicester City in the race. [The Record] The Toffees transfer for Iliman Ndiaye is ‘100% done’ with an announcement expected soon. [Team Talk] There have been rumours that his signing…
Dele Alli steps up his comeback as ex-Tottenham star puts on finishing clinic in training with Everton set to give him final chance to prove worth Dele Alli has stepped up his comeback as he was spotted doing finishing drills in training, with Everton reportedly set to give him a final chance. Dele had been hampered by a long-term groin problem but the former Tottenham star has been taking significant steps in his effort to make a full comeback ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. He has been posting regular training updates on his Instagram profile, where the player is seen…
Arne Slot and Liverpool could receive some brilliant transfer news this summer, with it having nothing to do with the team itself. With Euro 2024 fully underway, one name to look out for is Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. The 33-year-old has one year left on his contract with City and there have not been any talks of an extension as of yet. However, while De Bruyne has maintained he is planning to stay at City, he did indicate what it would take for him to leave the club. Before Belgium’s last-16 clash with France, De Bruyne told Het Nieuwsblad,…
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez had just 22 touches as Uruguay confirmed top spot in its Copa America group. Napoli defender Mathias Oliveira scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over the US in Missouri. Nunez, who had found the back of the net in each of his last seven appearances for Uruguay heading into the game, struggled to get involved in the action. The Liverpool man picked up a booking and had only one shot. Nevertheless, Uruguayan outlet La Diaria suggested Nunez was a “beast” during the game and even though he didn’t score, it claims Nunez “contributed a…
Trent Alexander-Arnold won’t be the only Liverpool player feeling scorned by an undeserved lack of game-time at Euro 2024. Ibrahima Konate has voiced his ‘frustration‘ at being consistently overlooked by Didier Deschamps for France, while Diogo Jota hasn’t started in any of Portugal’s four matches at the tournament so far. The 27-year-old could hardly be doing much more to make his case to Roberto Martinez, and it’s fair to say that he played his part in dragging the 2016 winners to the quarter-finals last night. Liverpool’s number 20 was introduced off the bench 65 minutes into the goalless draw against…
Portugal booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Euros despite a penalty miss by Cristiano Ronaldo, with Diogo Jota playing a pivotal role off the bench. Jota was substitute for the fourth game in a row at this summer’s Euros, unable to break into the Portugal side as he manages his fitness in Germany. But with Slovenia producing a heroic display in their last-16 clash on Monday night, manager Roberto Martinez turned to the Liverpool forward as a late roll of the dice. It was an influential change, with Jota twice setting Ronaldo up for big chances which the…
The race for Riccardo Calafiori is set to heat up following Italy’s exit from the European Championship this summer. In an intriguing transfer twist, it seems that the Bologna star may yet end up in the Premier League despite positive talks with Serie A rivals Bologna. Fabrizio Romano now reports on X (formerly Twitter) that Arsenal and Chelsea ‘remain both attentive to the situation’. It’s important to highlight once more that interest has not yet developed into bids or talks. Though, it is quite curious that Liverpool aren’t mentioned as one such interested party given their own clear need for…
