Everton Transfer Rumours

02 Jul 2026 14:11:32
Castelanos from West Ham on our radar now.

02 Jul 2026 15:09:10
I'm all for that. Proper nuisance.

02 Jul 2026 17:52:41
Want a goalscorer fed up with grafters as our No9.

{Ed025's Note - me too mate..

02 Jul 2026 16:00:41
Going to be interesting who we actually recruit GB. Hackney is a good start, young and ambitious. Let's hope the he does not sit on the bench for a season. Let's get the right-back and striker sorted out, those positions are key to next season.
Interesting who is actually driving our recruitment. Moyes always indicated that he was the main person but I am not sure anymore. If we continue to recruit players like Hackney I will have my doubts that Moyes actually has the clout he thinks that he has.

We have needed a good recruitment team for years, one that builds for the future as well as the existing season and not at the whim of whoever the manager is. Let's hope we have one now.
Ed025 do you know who the recruitment team is, or maybe someone else on here knows? I know the we recruited someone from Leeds!

{Ed025's Note - i dont sorry Mike..

It's a good point, Mike. Managers come and go and we could be left with a right mess like before if we allow them to have the players they want. It's a bit short sighted. But, if we have a recruitment team who can balance the needs of the manager with the long term plan of the club, then yes, that would be the ideal for me.

02 Jul 2026 18:29:52
Don't think this lad will sit on the bench, he is quality.

02 Jul 2026 11:44:56
Rico Lewis getting mentioned again with us.

02 Jul 2026 12:31:21
Do you like him, Gb? I just think he's a little small for a full back. I think we will end up with Wan Bassaka if we don't go all out for Doue.

02 Jul 2026 12:42:52
He is, mate, but Leighton wasn't a tall player, mate.

02 Jul 2026 13:15:38
He doesn't just cover RB either. Has played in many positions and covered DM and LB plenty of times.

Would be a definite buy for me, GB.

02 Jul 2026 13:26:38
Agree BN, I don't really go with size matters or age if it comes to that, if they are better than what we have, I'm all for it mate, go get them.

02 Jul 2026 13:28:09
He is a very good player, covers multiple positions. I'd defo sign him.

02 Jul 2026 15:59:46
Good quick player who likes to overlap. Right age as well, despite GB thinking every 30 plus player is like Messi. 🤣

02 Jul 2026 16:32:27
I don't think that for one minute Brass, what I will say is that there are plenty of 30 somethings playing top flight footy, if they are fit, I have no problem in them playing at Everton.

02 Jul 2026 10:04:32
Hackney done and in the shirt.

02 Jul 2026 11:19:59
Watching his season highlights reel, it does look like the lad can do a bit of everything. Scored some lovely goals, can carry the ball, strong in the tackle. Good have landed a real gem here at a bargain price.

02 Jul 2026 11:58:05
Good news that. On to the next one now.

02 Jul 2026 15:17:26
Someone who can pass a ball and score a goal, great bit of business. Him and Garner should be a great midfield, like to see another holding midfielder in as well, along with Lewis. What would people think of Kyle Walker, I jo hes getting in abit. But he can still do it with the best of them and has plenty of pace.

02 Jul 2026 16:01:15
It was Walker's pace that got him out of trouble. He's nowhere near that now.

02 Jul 2026 16:49:48
Not for me, BP, as Brass says he has slowed down now. I think there are better available, mate.

{Ed025's Note - i agree GB

02 Jul 2026 10:03:10
Hackney deal done. 5 year contract. Keep em coming!

02 Jul 2026 09:41:12
Everton Eyeing Rico Lewis. How do my fellow Evertonians feel about this one? What's your thoughts, Bluenose your a fella usually well versed on which players would improve and balance our squad.

02 Jul 2026 10:15:18
Not for me.

02 Jul 2026 10:59:33
We need a right back. He's a good player and miles better than what we have, and would almost definitely improve the first team. Why would we turn our noses up at that? With that said, I doubt he will be leaving City any time soon, but, if he did, would he come to a team that has no European football to offer?

02 Jul 2026 11:29:39
Rico Lewis is a top tier talent stuck in a bad situation. He's good enough to play regularly in the Premier League, but City's squad depth and tactical shifts have boxed him out. He's not physically dominant, which means he needs a manager who values technical midfielders and inverted full-backs but not someone who wants a traditional overlapping right back.

Right now he's at risk of becoming one of those City academy players who stagnate because they stay too long.

A move to either recently linked Everton, Forest or another possession based side would probably unlock his career.

If he leaves, I think he becomes a Premier League starter within a year. If he stays, he'll remain a rotation piece and never reach his ceiling.

Everton need a right-back and midfield depth and Lewis fills multiple gaps there whereas Forest need a possession improving inverted full-back and he is tactically ideal.

02 Jul 2026 12:15:26
I'd be very happy to see this one progress. Looked a great player when he broke through into the City squad.

SSN reports we’re in talks with Chelsea over permanent deal to sign George.

02 Jul 2026 09:19:10
New kit on the site has his name on it, reckon this is done.

02 Jul 2026 07:52:03
Timothy Weah getting linked to us again this morning.

01 Jul 2026 22:55:20
So it looks like Hackney has done day one of the well established seven day for Everton medical.

Today must have just been registration.

Tomorrow they might go for a walk on some grass before heading to a cafe for afternoon tea…

They might have it completed and announced by end of August.

02 Jul 2026 08:09:50
And get injured the first day of September.

02 Jul 2026 11:00:23
Signed and sealed mate, 5 year deal I'm reading. Happy days.

01 Jul 2026 22:36:23
Hackney has completed his medical via the bobble.
