Everton Transfer Rumours

29 Apr 2026 17:31:23
Reading, we're being linked with both Nathan Ake and John McGinn - could be lies, but both fit Moyes' Mo, but I would be annoyed to see us bring in even more 30+ year olds.

It's like Moyes has no interest in building anything for the future.

29 Apr 2026 18:47:25
David Strelec Middlesbrough striker, anyone seen him play? I do like McGinn, gives his all, clever player but seems to get a few injuries now so hope it's just a rumour.

29 Apr 2026 21:07:57
Weren't we linked with at Middlesbrough midfielder who was 23 - Hackney or something? I have a feeling Moyes rates him and tried to get him last summer.

Think we will be linked with many players over the next few months. It's working out which ones have legs is the problem.

Moyes can't only recruit players aged 30+ and we already have mums with Grealish.

I think the older signings will be back up for anyone leaving or positions we need bodies in.

Best to dot back and say nothing and watch out all happen. However, I'm not like that so I'm likely to be checking whatever websites I can to find some sort of information!

30 Apr 2026 01:05:40
Yeah, Hackney just got Championship player of the season and Forest are wanting him to replace Anderson when he moves in the summer. Suppose a lot will also depend on if Middlesbrough get promoted. Their forward doesn't ring any bells for me though. Hasn't stood out the odd time I have watched them.

28 Apr 2026 10:27:03
Just read this morning that were being linked with Nikolas Jackson this morning as BM aren’t pursuing the option to sign him. Anyone know any more on this?

28 Apr 2026 12:12:42
I can definitely state that Blue Mike is not intending to spend what is left of his retirement funds.

29 Apr 2026 16:05:24
Jackson is an improvement on what we have and I'd take him definitely. Not perfect, but we are not in that market.
Ake also being linked - also a solid, but I feel if money is right.
I've been Moyes in / Moyes out all season - can't decide.

What gets me with Moyes - seems with forwards it's case of if your tall enough your good enough - and needs to let younger players develop - but it's refreshing not being bottom of the league.

26 Apr 2026 09:46:59
3 weeks ago Moyes was God on this site and anyone wanted him replaced was crazy. Even Ed was getting it in the neck about Moyes the messiah. Too many people change their mind like the wind. I know that's football and fans are a funny bunch but it's a bit too much.

I don't want Moyes there next season he is too old he needs to retire now I have felt this way from the start of the season I don't care if he wins a few games he is still David Moyes. If we want to move forward we need to change.

{Ed025's Note - i think he has done a very good job to get us where we are now Dino but i just feel that this is as far as he can take us mate, he is very loyal to players who the rest of us think replacing and its very frustrating, we have the nucleus of a very good team i feel but the tactics are holding us back..

26 Apr 2026 10:13:26
I must say, when it's all said and done, we will look back and say, yes, he was the right man for the position we were in at the time, so fair play to him for that, but we want more and we deserve it. Let's push on now, we have all the tools.

26 Apr 2026 11:00:46
You could argue that point two ways. People were praising him because he’s led us into contention for a European spot, which was not expected (nothing to do with a grand history) , with what we all know is a limited squad. It is reasonable to expect that, with 4 or 5 signings, we would push on again.

There is risk with hiring someone new, and we’ve seen the downsides to regular changes of manager. Spurs, West Ham, Forest, etc. If you could get Iriola, I’d be tempted, but I wouldn’t sack Moyes for an unknown quantity.

26 Apr 2026 11:30:46
With you on that, JB.

26 Apr 2026 11:49:41
Yes, you're right, it is risky, but no risk, no reward. I don't mind that Moyes came in and steadied the ship. I just don't want us going into next season with this same formation and tactics. You know Moyes won't change. He will get rid of Barry and Beto, and just look for someone similar, another 6ft 3 donkey, and play the same boring way.

And yes, we will win enough games to finish 10th, but that's it. Where is the Palace manager going? Glasner, is he not worth a shout? He has done well with Palace, especially given the fact they sold all their good players and never gave him any money to spend.

26 Apr 2026 11:57:11
Don't worry, Deano, he's looking to bring in young players like Stones and Wilson. Would you trust dithering Dave with 100 mil to spend?

26 Apr 2026 13:28:57
Stones no, but Wilson on a free would be a no brainer, then spend big on a striker.

26 Apr 2026 13:44:17
The problem is that the club had money to spend, and they wasted it on Dibling, Alcaraz, Aznou and Rohl (who I think we are now committed to paying for at season end) , who he will not play, and Barry, who he insists on playing, while we have been in need of a right-back and a striker for ever. It has been reported that Moyes has a big impact on who we recruit; if that is the case, who wants to trust him with an extensive transfer pot this transfer window?
It is not only his tactics that is a problem, but blaming a poor squad is also becoming his issue.


He has done a great job in stabilizing us and getting away from the periodic relegation issue, and will have our gratitude for that, but giving him an extended contract risks more of the same and is becoming too high a risk, and if he makes a mess of recruiting could set us back for years.
We need a new manager with more modern tactics who can bring a new support team capable of identifying better players and who is willing to give youth a chance. Yes I know this is also a risk, but maybe one that is worth taking.

26 Apr 2026 13:49:20
That's absolute rubbish, Bleeds Blue. DM is not looking to bring young players at all; he says it time and time again; he wants players who can go straight into the team.

26 Apr 2026 15:29:28
He's young players at his disposal now who don't see any game time, he's useless with youngsters.

26 Apr 2026 15:43:20
You can't listen to DM's news conferences, BleedsBlue. He will not play any of the young lads in the first Team. He has said countless times they will go out on loan or wherever, and then, if they are good enough, will play some part. DM will be given a decent budget this window. Judge him after that.

26 Apr 2026 15:50:53
GB, I would not trust him with a decent budget. I know we have different perspectives for going forward, and you're a glass half full guy, but in the end we all want the same thing, success for this amazing club.

26 Apr 2026 16:17:21
Agree, mate, but just compare to where we were last year. DM has done an amazing job. I just happen to think he should at least get a couple of windows to clear out our few average players. We owe him that, mate. If we go downhill, then we change it. He has to be judged then, mate.

26 Apr 2026 16:56:28
You know what, mate, you're probably right in the grand scheme of things.

27 Apr 2026 20:47:05
He's not the Moyesiah; he's a very naughty boy..

28 Apr 2026 16:44:42
I don't get the Moyes hate. Hale has massively overperformed and expectations have shifted unfairly because of that. We have too much dead wood, but look at what he has done with effectively the same tools Dyche had.
Aside from KDH, I am not convinced Moyes had any say on some of the dross we bought like Barry and Dibling. If the youngsters were good enough, they would play. Aside from Rooney, have we really had any youngster that has gone on to be a big first team star elsewhere? I know Robinson did ok at Fulham, but let's be honest, aside from Rooney, our youth system is rubbish! We have never produced decent youngsters, and no point saying they don't get the chance, because they all move in and don't succeed anywhere else either.

The only one who goes against this is Lookman, but Moyes never had anything to do with him being let go!

28 Apr 2026 20:09:48
Poor shout doubting Moyes, who again has worked miracles with a lack of depth and quality.
He's managed to turn Ndiaye, Garner, and KDH into world class players, turn O'Brien into a decent RB, Gueye has a new lease of life at 35, Keane has his best season at 33 after 9 years, Pickford has his best season after 9 years, we're knocking on the door of Europe after being relegation fodder for years, and Jack Grealish seems desperate to play for us.

We still have one of the best away records in the league while settling into a new stadium.
It's comments like this that lead to the toxicity we experienced around Goodison for a long time before Moyes came back and the season hasn't finished yet.

23 Apr 2026 17:54:30
Keane signs on for another year. Sensible bit of business for me.

{Ed025's Note - and ma JB..

23 Apr 2026 20:59:33
He's been excellent this season, fully deserves another year. Clearly a very good professional.

24 Apr 2026 07:17:46
Good news that.

24 Apr 2026 17:55:49
Hope it's to play striker. 😂

{Ed025's Note - me too BMD, a lot better than we have mate..

24 Apr 2026 21:14:27
My 95 year old aunty is better than what we've got.

{Ed025's Note - tell her to bring her boots next week Swinners.. :)

25 Apr 2026 17:36:32
You know what, when his confidence was shattered, we all had a lot to say, including me. I couldn't enjoy a game with him starting. He's come through that and never puts the blame anywhere. He's a true pro, he deserves the contract. He's worked incredibly to earn the last and this extension. Well done MK.

25 Apr 2026 17:37:52
None ever do ED, we all talk a good game. Best 11 Everton never had sit around me. 🤣

21 Apr 2026 16:47:42
Reading that JB will be out for around 2 months with his hamstring injury which is not as bad as first feared, good luck JB and hope all goes well and your back fit for start of next season.

21 Apr 2026 19:15:24
Any news on Beto. Him being out is worse than JB with regards to replacements.

21 Apr 2026 20:41:50
Any of our first Team out is not good news. We have a really small squad of first Teamers mate.

21 Apr 2026 21:20:30
But is there any news on Beto? It looked like he'd smashed his eye socket. : (

22 Apr 2026 21:07:10
These days, they can play wearing a mask to support that. Just depends on how bad it was, and how much pain he is in.

23 Apr 2026 08:05:32
Well, he wears blinkers now so shouldn't be a problem, and the knock on his head might straighten up his shots.

19 Apr 2026 21:26:05
Guess how many times Mykolenko lost the ball today?

19 Apr 2026 21:40:10
Let's be honest. Barry was useless and still is useless, and George is as well. Worst subs I have ever seen.

20 Apr 2026 08:54:30
Agree with Micky and Barry, but how you can say George is useless, based on what exactly?

{Ed025's Note - he has not had enough time to render him useless, unlike Dwight who was absolutely useless yesterday BMD and should have been replaced a lot earlier imo mate..

20 Apr 2026 10:08:08
Jury's out on George. He did have several good opportunities to attack the full back and bungled it each time. McNeil has had good moments in the past couple of months, but was poor yesterday. I've said it all season, we've overachieved with the squad we have, 4 signings away from having a very competitive team. That'll be the aim in the summer.

{Ed025's Note - fair points there JB..

20 Apr 2026 10:53:18
We need two modern day full backs for either side. Also a striker. Add to that a few replacements for others that will leave. I'm expecting a few changes in the summer and hope these areas of concern are addressed.

20 Apr 2026 13:24:43
If Spurs drop, would you go for Pedro Porro?

20 Apr 2026 14:42:10
I alluded to it earlier, but the only one that disappoints me is McNeil, his reactions are non-existent, decision making awful. Still, Moyes liked him.

14 Apr 2026 14:16:09
Bournemouth’s head coach Andoni Iraola leaving at the end of the season. Everton should try to buy their Right Back and Left Back, problem then solved for many years.

14 Apr 2026 20:16:40
Get Iraola too to work alongside Moyes until Moyes' contract is up.

15 Apr 2026 11:47:10
Have to dig into your piggy bank, Dentilad.

15 Apr 2026 12:29:45
Could see Moyes going for that. 😂😂

15 Apr 2026 20:04:44
Utd Madrid and Palace are interested in him have seen.

15 Apr 2026 20:59:33
Don't see him going Palace. I think he'll head back to Athletico.

16 Apr 2026 20:05:01
If I'm dipping into my piggy bank, dmsblues, then I hope an IOU will be accepted until I rob a bank lol.

13 Apr 2026 12:12:16
Hey BN, was reading we are interested in signing Arthur Attar. Hope I spelt that right. Have you any info on him, mate? From Udinese I think, mate.

13 Apr 2026 18:21:12
Evening GB.

Pretty much spot on mate - Arthur Atta.

Have not seen him play myself. 23 year old French u20 international with a handful of games. Broke through with Metz for a couple of seasons and then was loaned to Udinese, who thought he did well enough to make it a permanent for around EUR8m.

Seen as a box-box no8 and Udinese seem to utilise him in different formations, be that sat in front of a pivot, a flat 2, or an attacking inverted 8 behind the striker.



Best qualities are his ball-carrying ability and dribbling. He ranks in the top dribbling midfielders in the league.

A 6ft 2 frame allows him to receive the ball under pressure and drive forward, breaking through the lines. Described as press resistant.

Apparently Fulham had a bid rejected in January at around EUR20m and are said to be going back in with a higher bid in the summer. The usual top Italian teams are also sniffing around mate.

13 Apr 2026 18:39:38
Thanks for that mate.

04 Apr 2026 17:56:35
Links to Senesi recirculating. No brainer for us if he isn't going to a top top club.

No fee to pay for a brilliant PL proven defender, who is also a goal threat. Still a good age and would be a plug in and play for the likes of Keane.

Also left-footed so would allow JB to move across.

05 Apr 2026 15:11:19
Would definitely take him on a free. 👍

05 Apr 2026 17:55:03
Yep that's for sure.

05 Apr 2026 22:56:22
Agree, lads, think if we can somehow persuade him to join us he be a decent acquisition but I imagine a few clubs circling for his signature.

09 Apr 2026 23:49:54
Qualifying for the Champions League might be quite persuasive, just a thought.

02 Apr 2026 14:26:47
Everton linked with Christian Kofane of Bayer Leverkusen.

19 year old Cameroonian international.

Watched this lad in the CL against Arsenal and City. He is aggressive off the ball, presses well from the front and closes defenders down quickly.

Seems brilliant at getting the run on his man and attacking the box - a bit like Giroud used to do poaching near-post finishes. Big physical lad at 6ft 2 and puts himself about.

Seems like the player we were supposed to be getting when we got Barry. Perhaps Bayer would be interested in a swap hahah!

02 Apr 2026 20:03:20
Just out of curiosity, did you know anything about Beto or Barry before we bought them BN?

02 Apr 2026 21:59:45
Not Barry, BR. Knew nothing about the lad but I think he had only been at Villareal for the season before we signed him.

Beto, I actually knew of because of Del Boy, tbh. They played at Udinese together and struck up a decent partnership, reminiscent of his and Lukaku's.

To me he looked like he would be a decent centre-forward for us. In his defence, we have not played to his strengths in the slightest.

We have seen shades of him at his best when we play the ball in behind. Pertinent goals that spring to mind like Doncaster, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea.

He is by no means the best footballer and I would prefer a more well-rounded player leading the line for us but there is no reason why he couldn't score 10/15 goals a season for us, if we played to his strengths.

03 Apr 2026 22:04:47
I actually watched a few Villarreal games when Barry was playing for them and, although his stats looked good (I think it was 11 in 35 games) , he was absolute garbage. He missed numerous sitters, fell over the ball and looked out of his depth (sound familiar?) .
I couldn't believe it when we were linked with him and posted on here last summer that he was crap, but obviously hoped that he would prove me wrong if we signed him.
What made matters worse was when he signed he said that Moyes convinced him to come to us by telling him that he would do well in the Premier League. To be honest, I don't recall anyone else being in for him.


I don't know what it is with our club and crap French strikers. First Maupay and now this clown. Both are crap, Maupay vaguely resembled a footballer, but Barry certainly doesn't. Both stank the place out with their attitude and both criticised their own fans on social media.
If we can only sign one striker in the summer then I would keep Beto. Barry has to go. I'm sick of the sight of him sitting on the bench sulking with his head in his hands. It shows a terrible attitude.
I don't care how much we get for him, just get shut, put it down to experience and move on.

{Ed025's Note - im with you SB..

04 Apr 2026 16:30:48
Agree, mate. Time to get a decent striker at last.

05 Apr 2026 08:52:14
Shropshire, don't forget Mikael Madar. 💩

But on the upside we did have Louis Saha.
