Everton have made a string of really intelligent and quick-fire transfer moves this summer, and Sean Dyche’s squad is all the better for it.
Having had to make a £50m sacrifice by selling Amadou Onana to Aston Villa, this departure is set to fund all their business for the rest of the window, with Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Harrison, Tim Iroegbunam and Jesper Lindstrom already tied up.
And now, with Jake O’Brien set to join Everton as well, it seems that all areas of the pitch are suitably strengthened.
However, whether it be good or bad news, they are far from finished.
Everton still want to sign Armando Broja
The next target that seems to be on Kevin Thelwell’s list is a striker, which might surprise Evertonians given they are already inundated in that position.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Youssef Chermiti and Beto have battled for a year for the role, with the former largely coming out on top, yet now his future on Merseyside does seem in doubt.
That could therefore explain Everton’s interest in Armando Broja, with a £30m price tag being discussed.
