Everton Player in Demand from Multiple Clubs on Loan, Seeks Exit – Report
Nathan Patterson Seeks Loan Move from Everton for First-Team Football, with Possible Return to Rangers, Says Daily Mail
The 23-year-old right-back is eager to earn a call-up to Scotland’s squad for the 2025 World Cup qualifiers and believes a temporary move away from Goodison Park could help him achieve this goal.
Although reports suggest Everton may not consider offers from Scottish clubs, the door remains open for the player, once described as a “diamond,” to reignite his stalled career at his boyhood club.
Rangers are expected to face strong competition for his signature, with several Championship clubs also interested in him.
Patterson’s situation at Everton is puzzling, as he has struggled to gain the trust of manager Sean Dyche over his three years at the club.
Despite injury setbacks, Patterson finds himself behind 36-year-old Seamus Coleman and 39-year-old Ashley Young in the pecking order, even when fully fit.
However, for those still hopeful he has a future at Goodison Park, it is reassuring that Everton is open to loaning him to Rangers, where he would play regularly in both the Scottish Premiership and Europa League.
A move to a Championship club, aside from clubs like Leeds United, may not be ideal, as it would not provide a clear indication of his ability to succeed in the Premier League.
Thus, the Scotland international would benefit most from returning to the club where his career started.
A successful stint there could help him regain his form and return to Everton at the end of the season, ready to challenge for a spot in the first team.
