Exclusive: Everton Director of Football Target Makes Decision on Future Amid Kevin Thelwell Speculation

In his first six Premier League matches, David Moyes has secured four wins and one draw, with his only defeat coming in his opening game against Aston Villa.

The managerial change has proven to The Friedkin Group that change can be effective, as Moyes has outperformed Sean Dyche’s tenure at Everton.

However, uncertainties remain on Merseyside ahead of the summer transfer window.

Everton face several contract expirations in the coming months, including that of director of football Kevin Thelwell, whose future remains uncertain.

Speaking to Everton News, TBR Football’s Chief Transfer Correspondent, Graeme Bailey, provided an update on Everton’s director of football situation.

Everton Informed of David Weir’s Decision to Stay at Brighton

As Everton explore potential candidates for the director of football role, they have reportedly approached Brighton & Hove Albion’s David Weir.

However, sources indicate that Weir is content at Brighton and has no plans to leave.

The Friedkin Group has yet to decide whether to replace Thelwell but is actively considering alternatives.

While Thelwell played a key role in securing Carlos Alcaraz on an initial loan during the January transfer window, it remains unclear if that will be his final signing for Everton.

Weir, a former Everton player, is highly regarded in the football world for his contributions to Brighton’s success. However, at this stage, he is not prepared to leave his current position.

Kevin Thelwell Anticipates a Busy Summer at Everton

Following the January transfer window, Thelwell has acknowledged that Everton are preparing for an eventful summer.

The club expects to be in a much stronger position regarding Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Additionally, Everton is planning for Thelwell to implement changes within the academy, a sign that the Friedkin Group is not entirely committed to moving on from him just yet.

Nevertheless, the ownership has already demonstrated a willingness to make bold decisions, and with significant choices looming, Everton is set for a pivotal summer.
