Double Everton transfer on the cards in January after Sky Sports update
Mark McAdam has shared that the two priorities for Everton during the January transfer window are a new winger and a central defender.
It appears that the Toffees will dip their toes into the transfer market this January despite their recent financial woes, with injuries continuing to disrupt the flow of their season.
The Sky Sports presenter believes that Sean Dyche will want to grow depth in his squad with the additions of two new faces across the next month.
“Everton’s financial problems are well documented but the priority positions are a winger and another centre-back,” McAdam said on Sky Sports’ The Transfer Show on Wednesday (3 January, 9:32am).
Two in, two out
During a rollercoaster of a Premier League season so far, Dyche has had a limited set of players to work from, with several stars failing to make the desired impact at Goodison Park.
Arnaut Danjuma is one of those players, having made just three league starts this season and failing to impress. The Dutch international is only on loan from Villareal and could be set for an early move back to Spain.
This would make room for a new winger in the squad. And the manager will be desperate for a back-up he can trust, with Dwight McNeil and Jack Harrison playing nearly every league game so far.
With Jarrad Branthwaite lighting up the Premier League at the age of just 21, clubs across Europe are interested in his signature and this could leave Everton with a defensive hole in the squad.
It appears that Dyche has lost most of his trust in Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey, especially with the latter as he has only made two starts all season. A new centre-back could be vital if Everton are to survive the very real threat of relegation.
