Everton backed for Tom Fellows summer transfer amid £15m West Brom development
Everton look set to make a fresh approach to sign Tom Fellows from West Brom ahead of the summer window.
The 21-year-old was linked with a move to Goodison in the winter, but no deal could be agreed as the Baggies sought out a playoff place.
It now appears that Tony Mowbray’s side are going to miss out on a spot in the second tier’s top six, which could result in a mass exodus at The Hawthorns.
This could be the perfect opportunity for David Moyes to step in to sign the young winger who was a top target throughout the January window.
Tom Fellows keen on Everton summer move
The Toffees look set to part ways with Jack Harrison in the summer as his loan spell from Leeds United comes to an end after two years.
This will leave a gap in the squad at Goodison, which will need to be filled ahead of the move to the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
Fellows could prove to be the perfect man to fill that gap after a largely positive season in the Championship.
TBR Football reported on 19 April that the L4 club are “confident” of finalising a deal for the West Brom ace in the summer.
The England under-21 international wants a move away from the Black Country, regardless of Albion’s finish, with the Evertonians determined to complete a deal.
This looks set to go through at a fee in the region of £15million plus add-ons after having a £12m offer rejected in the most recent window.
Everton can kick-start summer with Fellows deal with West Brom
The Friedkin Group will be keen to have a memorable window as they take charge of their first summer transfer window on Merseyside.
Money is likely to be tight with the move to the new arena, but the signing of a 21-year-old from the Championship could prove to be inspired.
The winger has contributed two goals and 13 assists in the second tier in a record which could serve him well moving into the Premier League.
| Stat (Championship 24/25) | Tom Fellows |
| Appearances | 42 |
| Goals | 2 |
| Assists | 13 |
Combining with the likes of Beto and Iliman Ndiaye could prove deadly under Moyes moving forward as the Toffees look to continue their rise under the Scot.
It will be interesting to see if Mowbray will be willing to part ways with the Englishman and what that means for the future of Harrison in L4.
