“Everton Star Drops JAW-DROPPING Ultimatum as David Moyes Plots SENSATIONAL Replacement Coup!”

David Moyes will be eager to regroup his Everton squad on Merseyside ahead of what promises to be a pivotal season for the Blues.

A great deal is unfolding behind the scenes as Everton prepare to move into the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.

With July now underway and the Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) window officially open, the club’s transfer activity is expected to intensify in the coming days.

Some familiar faces will not be returning to Finch Farm, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has departed at the end of his contract. However, others appear determined to make an impression early in pre-season.

Jake O’Brien is among those already getting a head start. While most players are still enjoying the final stretch of their summer holidays, both O’Brien and Harrison Armstrong have begun individual training ahead of the official pre-season return.

O’Brien, in particular, has been sharing footage of his solo sessions in a warm-weather setting abroad.

The towering defender was seen working without the ball, likely aiming to regain sharpness and shake off any rust.

Since joining Everton, O’Brien has turned heads with his performances, particularly under Moyes from January onward, following a difficult start to the season under Sean Dyche.

Meanwhile, Everton are reportedly reconsidering Michael Keane’s future, reopening contract talks despite his previous deal expiring.

Still, O’Brien faces stiff competition at centre-back, with the likes of Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski also vying for starting roles.

Though O’Brien established himself at right-back late last season, Moyes is keen to bring in reinforcements at full-back—a priority since his return to the club.

This could cast some doubt on O’Brien’s place in the starting XI, especially if new signings arrive.

Branthwaite, who is close to agreeing a new deal, and Tarkowski both ended last season with injury concerns, creating some uncertainty in central defence.

But with fitness issues lingering, O’Brien could find an opportunity to stake his claim.

He’s proven he’s too talented to remain on the bench, and his early return to training shows he’s ready to compete and convince Moyes he deserves a key role in the campaign ahead.
