Having already boosted their attacking options this summer, Everton are now reportedly hopeful of winning the race to land a defensive reinforcement for Sean Dyche.
Everton transfer news
It’s been a surprisingly busy summer at Goodison Park given the fact that their takeover remains incomplete.
The Toffees have already welcomed Jack Harrison back on loan, whilst also adding fresh faces in the form of Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa and Iliman Ndiaye, who should provide Dyche with a much-needed attacking spark next season.
Speaking for the first time since putting pen to paper, the former Marseille and Sheffield United star told Everton’s official media channels: “I am so pleased to be an Everton player. The main reasons I wanted to join were how big the club is, its history and the part I can play in helping the team in the forward direction it is going in. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get going.
“Kevin [Thelwell] and the manager both spoke to me and made me feel wanted. My Senegal teammate Idrissa also played a part and spoke highly of the Club and a lot of good things.”
With an attacking boost welcomed, Everton have since reportedly turned their attention towards improving Dyche’s backline. According to Alan Nixon via Patreon, Everton are still hopeful of winning the race to sign Jake O’Brien from Lyon ahead of West Ham United this summer. The Irishman is reportedly among the players who are allowed to leave the French club this summer as they look to balance the books.
