West Brom demands emerge as Everton eye Tom Fellows transfer
Tom Fellows’ move to Everton in the January transfer window isn’t impossible but will be “difficult”, according to Harry Watkinson.
The TEAMtalk journalist reported via his personal X account (9 January) that the Toffees were “long-term admirers” of the West Brom attacker.
He also added that the Baggies, if they were to sell, they would demand a “big fee” as they don’t want to lose him mid-season.
“Everton are interested, long-term admirers and so are Crystal Palace but West Brom don’t want to lose him mid-season and will demand a big fee. It’s not impossible but difficult,” he wrote.
Tom Fellows would be a solid addition to the Everton squad
As Jaden Philogene now looks set to join Ipswich despite the Toffees’ interest, it feels like they could ramp up their pursuit of Fellows [Fabrizio Romano, 8 January].
The attacker has been one of many bright sparks in the Black Country club’s set-up this season and it feels like he’d improve the team tenfold.
At the moment, it’s only been rumours that have linked the 21-year-old with a Goodison Park switch but when the fact that he’s contributed to 12 goals and assists already this season is taken into account, it shows how much of a talent he is [Transfermarkt].
He’d add some much-needed pace on the right wing and some extra creativity to add to what both Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye already bring to the set-up.
At the moment, it’s unknown how much money Everton have to spend in January to bolster their ranks but the fact the Merseyside outfit is being linked with players of this stature shows that they at least have some sort of money to play with.
