Everton are showing signs of life under Sean Dyche after a terrible start to their Premier League season, winning consecutive games in all competitions after losing their first three games without scoring. The Toffees, on the other hand, will not want to stop there, with consistency being the key to survival in the coming months.
What may aid their survival quest is reinforcements when the January transfer window opens, and with 777 Partners’ new investment, Everton could get just that in the winter window, which could see an out-of-favour couple make a surprising move to Goodison Park.
What is the most recent Everton transfer rumor?
In truth, Everton should have strengthened more during the summer transfer window, but the arrivals of Beto, Jack Harrison, and Arnaut Danjuma should have helped them get off to a better start than they did. Nonetheless, victories over Brentford and Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup demonstrate that the Toffees may have turned a vital corner in their quest for Premier League survival.
When January arrives, reinforcements may be more crucial than ever, with reports this week claiming that 777 is interested in both Aaron Ramsdale and Kalvin Phillips.
According to Spanish media, Jordan Pickford might still be sacrificed in January for FFP purposes, making Ramsdale a feasible possibility, with a loan move not being a “far-fetched” concept. With EURO 2024 on the horizon, the Arsenal goalkeeper has recently lost his place at The Emirates to David Raya, and he could still pursue permanent game-time over a spot on Mikel Arteta’s bench.
Meanwhile, if Amadou Onana decides to leave in January, Everton will reportedly consider signing Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips. Despite joining City last summer, the former Leeds United man has only made 25 Premier League games, suggesting that a move is not out of the question.
Everton should sign Kalvin Phillips and Aaron Ramsdale.
Despite the fact that both appear to be shatter glass choices in an emergency, Phillips and Ramsdale would be good buys for Everton. We’re talking about Champions League players who would surely improve Everton’s chances of survival.
However, any deal for Ramsdale would be tricky, considering that he signed a contract extension in the summer, and Pickford remains the club’s number one under Dyche. Phillips, on the other hand, may be a more appealing target given his lack of playing time under Pep Guardiola.
Both players have garnered a lot of praise during their Premier League careers, with David Seaman telling The Daily Mail of Ramsdale, “People forget he’s only 24.” So that’s incredible for me since I didn’t join Arsenal until I was 26 – what he’s achieving now at 24 is incredible.”
Meanwhile, Yannick Bolasie commented on Phillips on Twitter, writing, “Kalvin Phillips has been a monster today!” MOTM.”
Having said that, it will be intriguing to watch if Everton decides to go ahead and buy the pair when the January transfer window opens. Both players would undoubtedly provide them with a much-needed lift.
