Everton are in ‘ongoing’ talks to sign £90k-a-week player

Everton have had a fantastic start to the summer transfer window, despite the fact that they have yet to make a signing.

With their free-spending style and bottomless pot of money, the Toffees have frequently served as a

lightning rod for easy, lazy transfer links over the years.Those incessant rumors have certainly died

down now that the latter has dried up, rendering the former obsolete.Now, when the Toffees are

linked to a player, there is typically excellent reason to expect that it will happen.In this

circumstance, we may likely expect action in the next weeks.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, BBC journalist Shamoon Hafez would like to keep followers up to

date on two agreements that Kevin Thelwell is clearly looking to close.

With Everton’s interest in Kalvin Phillips well-documented, it may fly under the radar how close

the Toffees are to recapturing Jack Harrison on loan for another year. This reporter attempted to

underline that in his tweet, which read: “Everton interested in signing #MCFC midfielder Kalvin

Phillips on season-long loan deal, as @VinnOConnor has said.”‘Talks are ongoing between the

Toffees and #LUFC about another loan deal for winger Jack Harrison. #EFC’.Last season, the

£90,000-a-week winger made 25 Premier League starts and scored six goals for Everton.

Although the aforementioned stats are not very impressive given how wide men have turned into

top goalscorers in recent years, Sean Dyche’s system values what they provide off the ball

significantly more.After all, his style is mainly based on defensive stability, with both right and left

midfielders covering their fullbacks to avoid overloads.While the current game wants to invert

wingers and send full-backs storming forward, the former Burnley manager actively seeks to

counteract this with his usage of wide men.So, the tireless and hardworking Harrison and Dwight

McNeil are ideal for him, which explains why the more lavish but less drilled Arnaut Danjuma

received little attention all year.Last season, they averaged 4.4 and 5.1 ball recoveries each game,

which is astounding for what many consider to be attacking players.Everton’s retention of the

nucleus of the squad, which allowed them easily reach safety, signals a good start to the summer

window. Now we’re hoping for some star-studded, low-cost acquisitions like Phillips.
