With last season’s financial sanctions hopefully behind them, Everton are now looking ahead to this summer as they look to sign a player who is perfect for Sean Dyche’s system.
Fresh faces are expected at Goodison this summer
Recent transfer rumors from Merseyside have linked the Toffees with a number of smart signings. The latest name linked with a move to Goodison is Wilfred Ndidi, who will become a free agent when his contract at Leicester City expires at the end of this month.
Attacking players are also high on the Toffees’ wish list, with the club looking to make moves for young forwards Wilfried Gnont and Armando Broj. The former has been linked with Everton since last summer, while the latter is apparently set to leave Chelsea this window.
Hull City’s Jacob Greaves is also being considered by Goodison Park’s senior management as a likely successor to Jarrad Branthwaite. The young defender seems destined to play Premier League football next season, but Everton will face competition from Ipswich for his signature.
With Dyche and co looking to strengthen in all areas of the pitch, the Toffees are now interested in the highly-rated defender.
Kola are interested in the Man United man this summer
As first reported by HITC, Everton are interested in signing right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The outlet reports that the current Man United player’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain, with Erik Ten Hag reportedly looking for a new right-back this summer.
The 26-year-old joined United in a £50m move from Crystal Palace in 2019 and is currently on £90,000-a-week wages per capology, but has struggled to stick in the Red Devils’ starting line-up. -up. eleven.
Despite his struggles at United, Wan-Bissaka has maintained his reputation as one of the league’s best defenders. While some modern full-backs seem to spend more time attacking than defending, the Englishman is an indispensable defensive presence.
Following Wan-Bissaka’s outstanding defensive display against Brighton in the 2023 FA Cup semi-final, Leicester City star James Maddison said of the defender (via Guardian ): “AWB is ridiculously good at defending 1v1s.
“Probably the best in the world, but nobody. Many wingers run out of ideas when they play directly against him.”
While it’s one thing for an individual’s performance to receive praise from his teammates or manager, it’s a completely different kind of recognition when players from other teams notice and sing his praises.
This quote from Maddison shows how well-regarded Wan-Bisakka is when it comes to the art of defending. With Dyche well known for his defensive style, adding the 26-year-old to the Toffees’ back line would be a great signing.
