Everton are in the market for new additions under David Moyes and are now reportedly in the mix to sign a star that would create an intriguing reception among supporters.
Everton build for the future with key contract decision confirmation
The Hill Dickinson Stadium will feel like a very different environment to Goodison Park as the Toffees transition towards the future, but club captain Seamus Coleman has signed on for another year at Everton and will lead them out at their new stadium.
Upon putting pen to paper, the Irishman stated: “I love Everton, so to continue playing for this special club means everything to me and my family. Like every one of our passionate fans, I’ve lived and breathed what has been a difficult past few years for the club and have put my heart and soul into doing all I can to help us get through it.
“Thanks to the hard work of many people, we’ve been able to get into our magnificent new stadium and pave the way for a brighter future under ambitious new owners, which I want to be part of.”
Looking to make a mark on the transfer front, Everton are confident they can land Villarreal striker Thierno Barry amid rumours they are ready to meet his £34 million release clause, though they could instead opt to do a deal in installments.
Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika could strengthen the Toffees’ midfield, albeit West Ham United are also pursuing a deal for the Nigeria international.

Everton could make surprise move for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott
According to Everton News, Everton are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott alongside a clutch of alternative Premier League clubs.
Shedding some light on the situation, Graeme Bailey said: “I am told nearly half of the Premier League are seriously looking at him, and Everton are one of those. Nothing is advanced, but they are keeping tabs on the situation, and why wouldn’t they? We are talking about one of England’s star players from the U21 Euros with a load of Premier League experience.”

Due to their existence as arch-rivals, Liverpool could demand a serious fee for the £40,000 per week earner, though some may believe he is worth the gamble after his tally of five goals during England’s Under-21 European Championship triumph, where he netted in the final as the Three Lions toppled Germany.
Such form has led Elliott to be likened to Lionel Messi by Joe Cole after his brace against the Netherlands in the semi-final, albeit his opinion is likely to have been hyperbolic.
It does feel that this one has come out of the blue a little, but with Everton’s interest in Liverpool youngster Ben Doak public knowledge, there could be an opportunity for all parties to come to an agreement.
