“Everton’s SHOCKING Move to Snag the Championship’s ULTIMATE Superstar and Fellows in Blockbuster Deal!”
Everton are among several Premier League clubs interested in Leeds United full-back Junior Firpo, whose contract expires this summer, according to journalist Graeme Bailey.
The Toffees, along with Crystal Palace and West Ham, have reportedly made initial contact with Firpo’s representatives regarding a potential move, following a strong season at Elland Road.
Firpo has been praised as one of the standout performers in the Championship this season under manager Daniel Farke. At 28, he has attracted attention not only in England but also in Italy and Spain, with former clubs Barcelona and Real Betis eyeing a possible reunion.
Bailey reports that Firpo is expected to leave Leeds at the end of the campaign, despite helping the club secure the Championship title and promotion back to the Premier League.
While Leeds were hoping to extend his deal, Firpo appears focused on a move away, with Everton emerging as a leading contender.
The Dominican Republic international has been a crucial figure for Leeds, contributing four goals and 10 assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.
His 10 assists in 32 league matches placed him sixth overall in the Championship for assists.
Everton, preparing for a significant squad overhaul this summer, have also shown interest in West Bromwich Albion winger Tom Fellows.
More than 10 senior players could leave the club, signaling major changes at Goodison Park.
With loan deals for Armando Broja and Jack Harrison unlikely to be made permanent, and contracts for key players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Idrissa Gueye nearing expiration, Firpo is being considered as part of a broader recruitment drive to reshape the squad.
