“Everton on the Verge of a SENSATIONAL £3.4M Summer Transfer BOMBSHELL – Deal Practically SEALED!”
As the June 14th transfer window nears, Everton could have already wrapped up their first summer signing.
David Moyes is likely just as thrilled as Everton fans about the upcoming transfer window, especially with the substantial backing now available to the club.
The Friedkin Group has made it clear that they plan to invest heavily this summer, setting the stage for what could be a transformative period for Everton.
Given the expectation that significant funds will be used to strengthen the squad, it makes strategic sense for the club to move quickly in securing key targets.
That’s exactly what the Everton leadership is doing, and one transfer appears to be on the verge of completion.
Jerome Opoku nearing £3.4 million Everton move
This window is shaping up to be a highly successful one, and much of the credit goes to Kevin Thelwell, whose cautious approach in January helped the club steer clear of any Profit and Sustainability Regulation (PSR) issues.
His foresight has given Everton the freedom to spend more ambitiously now.
Moyes, aware of the financial limitations earlier in the year, held back on winter additions, but the landscape has now changed dramatically.
With the Friedkin Group in charge, the Toffees are poised to bolster Moyes’ squad significantly.
One of the key targets is centre-back Jerome Opoku, currently with Istanbul Basaksehir.
The 26-year-old Ghana international is reportedly eager to return to England, having started his career with Fulham.
According to Africa Foot, Everton have made an offer in the region of £3.4 million for Opoku.
The defender is said to be close to finalising a move back to the Premier League, with a three-year deal on the table.
The Toffees are now working on finalising the remaining details.
Who is Jerome Opoku, and why does he fit Everton?
Moyes is clearly looking to reinforce his defence, and Opoku seems to be an ideal candidate to fit the bill. At 6’5″, he’s a commanding presence and a strong aerial threat—qualities that align well with Moyes’ tactical setup.
Though not previously a regular on Everton’s radar, Opoku appears to be an excellent value signing at the quoted price.
While he hasn’t yet played in the Premier League, his early years at Fulham and subsequent experiences in Denmark, Portugal, and most recently Turkey have helped him develop a versatile skill set.
His strong performances in Turkey have also earned him regular call-ups to the Ghana national team, where he’s now in contention for the 2026 World Cup squad.
With Everton entering a new phase of ownership and ambition, the potential signing of Opoku could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter—and a shrewd first step in what promises to be a dynamic summer window.
