“SHOCKER: Everton’s Transfer BOMBSHELL Drops This Friday – Toffees Slam Door on Star’s Exit!”
Everton keeping watch for last-minute transfer opportunities before Monday’s deadline
The Friedkin Group’s first summer transfer window as Everton owners has provided plenty of encouragement, and David Moyes will be satisfied with the progress made so far.
Yet, there is a sense that the business on Merseyside could improve further before the deadline closes.
Behind the scenes at Finch Farm, figures such as Angus Kinnear are working tirelessly to secure late additions that would complete what has already been a productive window.
A trip to Molineux awaits the Toffees this weekend, but recruitment efforts remain ongoing, with both a midfielder and a defender still on the agenda.
It is not just arrivals being discussed, however. Outgoings remain possible, with Youssef Chermiti attracting attention from Rangers and another Everton prospect also close to departing on loan.
Armstrong closing in on Preston switch
Youngster Harrison Armstrong has impressed Moyes throughout the summer, determined to earn a place in Everton’s first-team plans for 2025/26.
Despite his efforts, uncertainty over his immediate future has lingered as the transfer deadline draws near.
Reports from the Daily Mail suggest Preston North End are poised to secure the midfielder’s services on loan, with a deal potentially finalised as soon as Friday.
Everton’s squad have spoken highly of Armstrong’s impact, particularly after he provided both assists in Wednesday’s win over Mansfield Town.
Still, the ultimate call lies with Moyes, who must decide if the time is right for Armstrong to continue his development elsewhere.
Midfield departure could trigger new arrival
Should Armstrong move to Preston, it may clear the path for Everton to accelerate their pursuit of midfield reinforcements.
One target is Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo, but hopes of landing him on loan appear slim.
Despite Mainoo’s wish to leave before the deadline, United have rejected his request, complicating Everton’s efforts.
A player of Mainoo’s calibre would undoubtedly elevate Moyes’ midfield options, yet Everton are also monitoring alternative possibilities.
Among them is Tottenham Hotspur’s Yves Bissouma, whose proposed switch to Galatasaray has recently collapsed.
That breakdown could open the door for Everton to make their move.
Regardless of which name arrives, Moyes is determined to strengthen his options before Monday night.
Armstrong’s likely departure may provide the flexibility Everton need to act, ensuring the Friedkin Group’s first window ends on a strong note.
