Everton: Sean Dyche will be licking his lips after what Goodison Park-bound Braiden Graham did
Everton manager Sean Dyche has tried to steady the ship at Goodison Park, but the situation remains precarious.
The man in the dugout has produced some huge results this season, but the fact of the matter is that his side remain in a relegation battle.
The Toffees currently occupy 16th place in the Premier League table, just three points outside the bottom three, with time running out to pick up some much-needed points.
One of their main issues this season has been scoring goals, with Everton constantly creating chances under Dyche, but failing to convert them.
The likes of Beto and Youssef Chermiti were recently brought to Goodison Park to help resolve this issue, and indeed take some of the burden off Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
But all three have failed to impress, with the strikers continuously failing to take their chances in front of goal.
Will Braiden Graham boost the attacking options at Everton?
Everton will soon have a new face in the final third, with the Toffees having agreed a deal to sign striker Braiden Graham from Irish Premiership club Linfield in November.
As reported by The Athletic [28 November, 2023], Everton beat off the likes of Premier League rivals Brighton to snap up the 16-year-old, who will move to Goodison Park at the end of the season.
Given his age, an immediate move into the first team seems unlikely, but Dyche will be delighted at the youngster’s latest efforts in Northern Ireland.
In a 6-0 win for Linfield against Newry City on Saturday (16 March), Graham came off the bench to score with his first touch [BBC Sport, 16 March]. As per NI Football League, it was the teenager’s first league goal for the club.
In other Everton news, the Toffees have been slammed by Martin Keown on talkSPORT, with a “really toxic” verdict shared.
