Sport nationAccording to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, Ashley Young is close to re-signing with Everton on a one-year contract. The 38-year-old defender played a crucial role in helping the Toffees avoid relegation last season, making 31 Premier League appearances, including 27 starts.
Young has expressed his desire to return to Goodison Park, and it appears that positive talks have taken place between the club and the player. His return would be a significant boost for Sean Dyche’s side, who are looking to build on their narrow escape from relegation last season.
Young’s experience and leadership qualities would be invaluable to the team, and his presence in the dressing room would be a big help. During his time with Manchester United, he won numerous honors, including the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
While Young may not be the same player he was in his prime, his know-how and ability to read the game would be a valuable asset to the Toffees. His return would also provide stability and consistency at the back, which was a major issue for Everton last season.
The news of Young’s potential return has been met with excitement from Everton fans, who have had little to cheer about in recent times. The club’s struggles on and off the pitch have been well-documented, and the return of a fan favorite like Young would be a welcome boost.
