YOU WON’T BELIEVE THE INSANE JANUARY SWAP DEAL MASTERCLASS THE FRIEDKINS ARE ABOUT TO PULL OFF THAT WILL LEAVE EVERY PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB SHAKING – EVERTON SET TO SNATCH £17M SUPERSTAR IN SHOCK MOVE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Everton face a need for smart January recruitment as multiple problem positions demand attention.
David Moyes is likely to view the January transfer window as arriving at an ideal moment, with Everton set to be without several players over the coming weeks.
Squad availability has become an increasing concern, and reinforcements could be crucial if the Toffees are to address their ongoing issues in the second half of the season.
The winter market is notoriously difficult to navigate, offering clubs just a single month to buy and sell while often inflating prices and limiting options.
Even so, Everton are expected to be active, with a new striker and a right-back believed to be the club’s two main priorities based on weaknesses that have been evident in recent performances.
Everton attempted to solve the right-back problem during the summer window but were left frustrated after missing out on Fulham’s Kenny Tete.
Despite significant efforts, the club were unable to identify the right profile, leaving Moyes to improvise by using Jake O’Brien out of position on the right side of defence.
That situation has underlined the need for a more natural and attack-minded option.
Now, a potential opportunity may have emerged that could suit all parties involved.
According to reports from Estadio Deportivo, Everton are among the clubs showing interest in Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez.
The Spanish side are said to value the defender at around €20m (£17.4m), but Everton may be able to strike a deal for as little as €10m (£8.7m) during the January window.
Sanchez was previously linked with a move to the Premier League in the summer, with Wolves pushing to sign him, but the defender ultimately decided against the switch.
He remains available heading into January, and Moyes is understood to admire his ability to contribute in attacking areas, something Everton have lacked from full-back positions.
Adding creativity from wide areas could also help alleviate Everton’s goalscoring problems.
There is also the possibility of a swap deal being explored.
Sevilla have held a long-standing interest in Everton right-back Nathan Patterson, and a loan move for the Scotland international was agreed last summer.
However, that deal collapsed after Sanchez’s proposed departure failed to materialise. Patterson has yet to feature in the Premier League this season, further fuelling speculation.
With both clubs keen on the opposing player, a January swap deal could make sense.
Everton are desperate for more attacking output from right-back, and Sanchez could offer a timely solution to a growing problem.
