Everton Football Club’s transfer plans have been affected by the current takeover uncertainty, according to BBC journalist Shamoon Hafez.
The Toffees are unlikely to sign Armando Broja from Chelsea, Wilfried Ndidi from Leicester City, or Tanguy Ndombele from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.Hafez reported that Everton are not interested in Broja due to the £30 million transfer fee, which is deemed too expensive given the current uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership.
Additionally, the club has not offered Ndidi a contract, despite rumors suggesting otherwise, and any links to Ndombele are purely speculative.Sean Dyche, Everton’s manager, will be keen to strengthen his squad this summer to avoid relegation and climb the Premier League table. However, the club’s financial situation and takeover uncertainty are hindering their ability to make significant signings.Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s potential departure, with Newcastle United interested, could have paved the way for Broja’s arrival.
Nevertheless, the Albanian striker’s struggles on loan at Fulham last season and high wages make him an unlikely signing for Everton.Ndidi, on the other hand, represents an attractive option as a free transfer, with his contract at Leicester City expiring this month.
Despite his high wages, adding a midfielder of his quality and experience would be a significant boost to Dyche’s team.In summary, Everton’s transfer plans are on hold due to the takeover uncertainty, and the club is unlikely to sign Broja, Ndidi, or Ndombele this summer. The Toffees will need to explore alternative options to strengthen their squad and secure their Premier League status.
