EVERTON’S £26M BOMBSHELL: CLUB DESPERATE TO SNATCH ‘MOST ADMIRED’ SUPERSTAR IN SENSATIONAL TRANSFER RAID THAT WILL LEAVE RIVALS REELING!
David Moyes faces mounting pressure to strengthen his Everton squad during the January transfer window.
Everton’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the Hill Dickinson Stadium exposed two major issues for David Moyes and his players.
Firstly, the game highlighted how ineffective Everton’s attack has been in the Premier League this season.
Both sides created a similar number of opportunities, but Tottenham were far more clinical in front of goal.
Secondly, the backlash following Jordan Pickford’s underwhelming performance underlined the defensive frailties within the team.
The result made it clear that Everton require significant reinforcements — possibly as many as five new players — to compete consistently at the top level.
Everton eye move for Real Betis defender Natan
According to Fichajes (27 October), Everton are among several Premier League clubs interested in signing Real Betis centre-back Natan de Souza, known simply as Natan.
The Spanish outlet reports that the Brazilian has become one of the “most admired” players at Betis and could attract serious offers in the upcoming transfer window.
Natan joined Real Betis from Napoli in 2024 and is currently under contract until 2030. The Andalusian club highly value him, setting a price tag of around £26 million, despite his market valuation being closer to £18 million.
While Betis are keen to keep hold of their defender, a deal could be agreed if Everton are prepared to meet their asking price.
Would Natan be a good fit for Everton?
At 24 years old, Natan may not yet have Premier League experience, but he boasts impressive credentials.
Having made 207 competitive appearances across Brazil, Italy, and Spain, he brings valuable international experience and composure on the ball.
Although not a prolific scorer, Natan excels in aerial duels and is confident in possession, making him an appealing option for a club seeking stability at the back.
Known for his calm distribution and ability to play out from defence, he represents the kind of modern, well-rounded centre-back that could help strengthen Moyes’ backline.
Signing Natan would be a calculated risk — but one that could pay off handsomely for Everton.
