“ABSOLUTE SHOCKER! Fabrizio Romano Drops DEVASTATING Bombshell on Moyes After Everton’s SECRET Deal – You WON’T Believe What’s Next!”

Everton have completed the permanent signing of Carlos Alcaraz, though he technically doesn’t count as a fresh addition having spent last season on loan at the club.

So far, the focus this summer has been more on outgoings than incomings. The most notable departure is Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has left Everton after nine years at Goodison Park.

With pre-season fast approaching, the need for new arrivals is becoming more pressing. One player who appeared close to joining was Fulham right-back Kenny Tete, whose contract expires today.

Everton had reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Dutchman, positioning them well to secure his services as a free agent.

However, Fulham responded with an improved contract offer, casting doubt over the transfer. After a few days of speculation, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now issued an update suggesting that Tete is likely to stay at Craven Cottage.

Romano revealed, “Understand Fulham are now closing in on the agreement with Kenny Tete over new contract.

Formal steps still needed but Fulham now confident after Everton proposal almost accepted.”

This marks a setback for Everton, who had been close to finalising the deal. Tete, with several seasons of Premier League experience, was seen as a reliable and sensible signing option.

His consistent performances had made him a fan favourite at Fulham, and his potential exit had concerned their supporters—further underlining Everton’s shrewd interest.

Now, with Tete expected to remain in London, Everton must reassess their right-back options. The club’s failure to secure their primary target could complicate negotiations for alternatives.

Pursuing players of a similar profile may prove challenging if those targets are aware they weren’t Everton’s first choice.

Kyle Walker-Peters is one such player under consideration, but competition from other clubs—combined with the perception of being a fallback option—might make a deal more difficult to complete.

As it stands, Everton’s inability to land Tete could be a significant obstacle for David Moyes and his recruitment plans this summer. Reinforcements are urgently needed, but the path to securing them just became more uncertain.
