“Everton DESPERATE to Snag Premier League’s Hottest 29-Year-Old Defensive SUPERSTAR in Blockbuster Deal!”
Everton Launch Bid for Fulham’s Kenny Tete in Ongoing Right-Back Hunt
Everton have reportedly made a formal offer to Kenny Tete, proposing a three-year deal as they look to secure the experienced right-back on a free transfer.
According to The Independent, the Merseyside club hopes to beat Fulham to the defender’s signature and disrupt the London side’s ongoing contract talks.
Tete, 29, is set to become a free agent at the end of June, with Fulham previously confident about agreeing fresh terms.
However, Everton’s bid—featuring “improved terms” and a strong offer of regular playing time—could change the situation. The proposal is also understood to include a clear role for Tete in a team seeking defensive reliability.
Since arriving from Lyon in 2020, the Dutch international has played nearly 120 games for Fulham.
He made 22 appearances last season under Marco Silva as Fulham secured an 11th-place Premier League finish.
Everton’s interest comes as no surprise. Club captain Seamus Coleman is approaching his 37th birthday and has struggled with injuries, while Nathan Patterson continues to face fitness challenges and inconsistency.
With right-back emerging as a priority position this summer, Tete fits the profile of what Everton need—reliable, experienced, and available on a free transfer.
Tete’s CV includes 14 caps for the Netherlands and solid experience at both club and international levels. His signing would represent a smart piece of business for a club that must be shrewd in the market.
