Despite recent struggles with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, Everton look set to open the chequebook this summer and bring a number of reinforcements to the club. Fresh faces expected to arrive at Goodison One name linked with a move to Merseyside is former Liverpool loanee Arthur Melo. The midfielder boasts 22 caps for Brazil and whilst his spell at Anfield was marred by injury, he would no doubt be a massive asset in the Toffees’ midfield. A midfielder clearly ranks high on Everton’s shopping list with recent reports also linking the club with a move for Matteo…
Liverpool might be one of the highest-generating football clubs in the world but, unlike some of their rivals, they have a finite transfer budget. They won’t put themselves in financial difficulties purely to win the transfer window. They won’t overstretch or blow up their wage budget. Simply put, if the deal doesn’t make financial sense, they’ll do the big boy thing and walk away from it, though not every fan is best pleased with this approach. With all this in mind, a £20 million move for a backup goalkeeper would seem like nothing more than paper talk, wouldn’t it? Yet…
In the January transfer window of 2013/ 14, 10 years ago, a young Czech Republic goalkeeping prospect, then 17 year old Jindrich Stanek signed up to join Roberto Martinez’s Everton squad for an undisclosed small sum from Sparta Prague. Wearing the #36 shirt he was brought in to contest the 3rd choice vacancy created by Slovakian goalkeeper Jan Mucha who had departed as a free agent the previous summer as Martinez arrived. To put it into context, he was competing just for the 3rd choice and Under 21 spot as Martinez was more than satisfied with USA goalkeeper Tim Howard…
Everton learn how much they need to raise this summer to avoid another points deduction Everton are under pressure to generate approximately £25m in the transfer market by June 30, despite the impending takeover by billionaire Dan Friedkin.

Roma owner Friedkin is on the verge of purchasing Everton from Farhad Moshiri, following an agreement reached last week. The club was penalised eight points last season for consecutive breaches of Profit and Sustainability rules. At least one player sale…

The broadcaster reported via Calcio Mercato (18 June) that Bournemouth and the Toffees are both interested in the 22-year-old. Bove is attracted to the Premier League and Roma are ready to listen to offers for the player. However, it would take an offer of at least £15million to convince the Serie A side to sell. Could Dan Friedkin help Everton sign Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove? It is no surprise to see the Toffees are interested in players from Roma at the same time that the Friedkin Group…

Despite many hoping it would not, already it feels like Everton’s summer is set to be dominated by questions about the future of Jarrad Branthwaite. After all, it is hard not to worry about his future with the interest gathering. The Toffees have remained firm thus far on their stance regarding the 21-year-old, despite Manchester United bidding for Branthwaite, and the pitiful nature of that initial £35m proposition has drawn scrutiny. It outlines everything that is wrong with PSR, and it is good to see that Everton’s hierarchy feel similarly on the matter. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite transfer stance revealed The…
Ashley Young has revealed he is ‘very close’ to signing a new contract with Everton. The veteran defender signed for the Toffees on a free transfer last summer after leaving Aston Villa but despite the fact he will turn 39 in July, he made a strong impact on Sean Dyche’s side. Young went on to make 34 appearances for Everton across all competitions, scoring one goal and often filling in as a full-back on both sides of Dyche’s defence as the likes of Vitaly Mykolenko, Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson struggled with various injuries during the campaign. Despite suffering an…
For fans of a certain vintage, Ipswich kicking off the new Premier League season against Liverpool at Portman Road on August 17 brings back memories when they were two of England’s top teams in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Sir Bobby Robson was in his pomp at Ipswich, lifting the FA Cup in 1978 against Arsenal and the UEFA Cup in 1981 against AZ Alkmaar. They should have won the First Division title as well in 1981, but lost a two-horse race to Ron Saunders’ Aston Villa. Liverpool were the team to beat back then and the Reds won…
Liverpool are reportedly on the brink of losing two transfer targets in one upcoming deal. The Reds will be left looking elsewhere and Teun Koopmeiners is swapped for Dean Huijsen. Journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports that Juventus are getting closer to signing Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. It’s a transfer that’s been rumoured for some time, with no mystery about Juve’s interest in the Dutchman. Liverpool, though, have been strongly linked with Koopmeiners, too. In fact, some reports suggested the Reds were in pole position as they had more to spend on the midfielder. Juventus do have a way around that, however.…
