“RELEGATED CLUB DESPERATE TO OFFLOAD STARS AS EVERTON PLOT SHOCK SWOOP FOR WORLD-CLASS DEFENDER!”

David Moyes is aiming to strengthen his Everton squad this summer to build on his solid start at Goodison Park, with the club preparing for its future move to Bramley-Moore Dock.

Reinforcements in defence are a priority, particularly following James Tarkowski’s injury. Jake O’Brien has had to fill in out of position, and concerns about the ageing backline continue to grow.

One player on the club’s radar is Leicester City’s Danish international full-back, Victor Kristiansen.

Despite Leicester’s relegation to the Championship and pressure from Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), a move may not be straightforward.

According to Sky Sports on 8 May, Leicester are open to offers but have made it clear that none of their players will be sold cheaply.

The Foxes are resisting a fire sale, stressing that they will hold firm on valuations.

Everton must avoid being drawn into overpaying for domestic talent. In recent years, English clubs—especially those relegated—have demanded inflated fees.

For example, Leeds managed to collect over £100 million for players like Archie Gray, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville after a season in the Championship.

While Kristiansen is undoubtedly a promising player, Everton should explore more cost-effective alternatives from abroad.

Overseas markets often provide better value for money, especially given the financial constraints Premier League clubs now face under PSR regulations.

Moyes, alongside the club’s new ownership under the Friedkin Group, will need to weigh up whether the value Kristiansen brings justifies the cost.

Expanding their search beyond England could offer smarter, more sustainable solutions.

With the summer window fast approaching, Everton’s ability to balance quality, cost, and compliance with PSR will be crucial to their continued progress on and off the pitch.
