Everton’s ‘red hot’ transfer update as ’10 signings due in 10 weeks’
Everton are in line for a frantic period in the summer transfer window as they offered signings to complete a major overhaul of their playing squad.
When he returned to the club back in January, David Moyes feared he would fail to prevent relegation from the Premier League for the Merseyside outfit.
Instead, the Toffees cruised comfortably to safety, ensuring they can look forward to their first season in their new Hill Dickinson Stadium as a top-flight club.
However, there is plenty of work to be done before then, as Everton currently have just 14 senior players on their books as things stand, meaning they are in desperate need to add to their squad.
Everton being offered potential signings
So far, the Toffees are yet to complete a first-team signing in the summer transfer window, although that could soon change.
Everton are in talks to sign Kenny Tete as his contract with Fulham comes to an end, and he is not the only player who could be eyeing a move to Merseyside.
There are currently around ten weeks remaining in the transfer window, and an update from The I has suggested that David Moyes‘ side are looking to make ten signings in that time.
It is noted that the club will look to use their full allocation of loan spots, as well as targeting free agents in the market.
In the wake of that, the phone at Everton is said to have been “red-hot” as the club are offered potential signings to their first-team squad.
David Moyes to be excited by transfer update
Football Insider Verdict
It would be understandable if there are some nerves around the club at this moment in time about the lack of activity, considering the number of signings that are needed.
Judging by this update though, Everton are still in a strong position to make the additions they will need to be competitiv in the Premier League this season.
Indeed, we are still in the very early stages of the window, so there is no need to panic when there is plenty of time for signings to be made, even though it is natural to do so.
Earlier this year, Everton were tipped to be an attractive destination for signings with their move to a new stadium and Premier League status secured under Moyes.
This new update suggests that is indeed the case with offers of players being made to the club, and so there ought to be a confidence they can get the signings they need.
With that in mind, there is still good reason for those connected with Everton to be excited about what might be to come in the rest of the transfer window.
