Three Everton players who could leave the club this summer after transfer news
Everton made sure of their Premier League status with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at Goodison Park on the final day of the season, and Sean Dyche’s focus will now be on next season.
It has already been announced by the club that Conor Coady will not be continuing as an Everton player following the conclusion of his loan, which would have been a surprise to some fans.
Ahead of the summer transfer window, Goodison News has identified three other Toffees stars who could be on their way out.
Jordan Pickford
England’s number-one goalkeeper has enjoyed another impressive season in an Everton shirt. Pickford collected a second consecutive Everton Player of the Season award after some fine performances in the 2022/23 campaign.
The former Sunderland goalkeeper has been a fan favourite ever since he arrived at Goodison, however, he has begun to attract interest from top Premier League clubs and could have his head turned.
As reported by the Daily Mirror (12 May), Manchester United boss Erik Tan Haag has identified Pickford as a potential replacement for David De Gea if the Spanish veteran is to leave the Manchester giants.
Although it seems as if David De Gea is staying put after agreeing on a new contract (Mail Online, 29 May), interest from the club may have alerted Pickford to the possibility of a move elsewhere, although for now, nothing is concrete.
Amadou Onana
Onana has been a standout player for the club this season and after a string of positive displays, many fans would have been resigned to the idea of losing the Belgian if the club had been relegated, however, survival may boost their hopes of keeping the midfielder.
Although the club will have to fight off interest from some top clubs. Onana is a ‘prime’ candidate for Newcastle, Chelsea, and Arsenal (Mail Online, 28 May).
In the end, a big-money offer might be too much for Everton to resist and it will be interesting to see if the club can hold onto the player.
Neil Maupay
As reported by Football Insider, Everton plan to make Neil Maupay available for transfer during this summer window.
It comes as no surprise that the club has decided to take this decision. Since his arrival from Brighton, the 26-year-old has started just 10 Premier League games and scored just one goal for the club.
The player has failed to settle in, and despite signing a three-year deal last summer, his stay at Goodison might already be brought to an end after just one year.
