Everton’s Summer Transfer Plans: David Moyes Eyes £20m Winger Tom Fellows
As the summer transfer window approaches, Everton is already making plans to strengthen their squad. The Toffees’ American investors, the Friedkin Group, are expected to spend big once the financial year ends in June, and manager David Moyes is drawing up a list of targets.
One player who has caught Moyes’ eye is West Bromwich Albion winger Tom Fellows. According to reports, Everton made a late £10m offer for Fellows in January, but ultimately pulled out of the deal to conserve funds. However, it is understood that Moyes is a big fan of the 21-year-old, who has registered 13 goal involvements in 34 outings for West Bromwich Albion.
Fellows is believed to be keen on a move to Merseyside, and Everton is expected to make a fresh offer for the winger in the summer. The Toffees will need to meet Fellows’ £20m valuation to secure his signature, but with the Friedkin Group’s resources at their disposal, they are well-placed to do so.
Everton is not the only club interested in Fellows, however. Premier League rivals Southampton are also keeping tabs on the England under-21 international, although their chances of signing him appear slim given their likely relegation to the Championship.
Moyes’ interest in Fellows is a clear indication of his desire to strengthen Everton’s attacking options. The Toffees have struggled for consistency in front of goal this season, and the addition of a talented young winger like Fellows could be just what they need to take their game to the next level.
With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Everton fans will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of new signings. If Moyes can secure the services of Fellows, it could be a major coup for the Toffees and a significant step towards achieving their ambitions.
