Everton FC Transfer News: Sean Dyche Provides Update on Summer Signings
Everton FC manager Sean Dyche has provided an update on the club’s transfer activity this summer. Despite the recent signing of Jake O’Brien for £17 million, Dyche suggested that further signings are unlikely. However, he also teased that “we’ll have to wait and see” what the future holds.
The Toffees have brought in five players so far this summer, with O’Brien being the latest addition. The 23-year-old centre back has long been on the radar of the club, and Everton swooped in to sign him as Premier League rivals were set to step up their interest.
Dyche expressed his pleasure with the deal, saying: “He is a young centre half in the sense of his journey to where he is, but who played a lot last season for Lyon, and we want him to come in and enjoy what the challenge is.”
When asked if the O’Brien deal was a precursor to any movement over the future of star centre back Jarrad Branthwaite, Dyche dismissed the suggestion. “That is not the situation,” he said. “We are doing our best with the finance available to construct what we hope is a side that can keep growing and adding some of these players shows a sign of that.”
Dyche also addressed the club’s financial situation, saying: “I don’t think so with the finances that we have got, or haven’t, as the case may be. But we will have to wait and see.”
Everton has twice rejected bids for Branthwaite this summer, and Dyche’s comments suggest that the club is keen to hold onto the talented young defender.
The Toffees have had a busy summer transfer window so far, bringing in five new players. However, Dyche’s comments suggest that the club’s transfer activity may be slowing down.
In conclusion, Sean Dyche has provided an update on Everton FC’s transfer activity this summer. While the club has brought in five new players, including Jake O’Brien, Dyche suggested that further signings are unlikely. However, he also teased that “we’ll have to wait and see” what the future holds.
