Friedkins ‘have no-brainer decision’ as David Moyes wants Everton transfer
David Moyes already has plans for next season as Everton bid farewell to Goodison Park in the Premier League.
The Scottish manager has done an impressive job at the Toffees since replacing Sean Dyche, and it remains to be seen what the future holds at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Goodison Park will host its final game against Southampton on Sunday (18 May), and supporters will expect drastic changes at the Blues from the start of next season after being involved in recent relegation battles.
The Friedkin Group (TFG) must back Moyes next summer by bolstering his squad, and they’ve been presented with a no-brainer decision.
Everton should sanction transfer for Vladimir Coufal, who Moyes admires
Vladimir Coufal is being monitored by the Merseyside outfit as he’s set to become a free agent, according to talkSPORT.
The news outlet reports (13 May) that Moyes is a big admirer of the Czechia international, with whom he worked at West Ham.
| Competition | Appearances | Yellow cards | Minutes played |
| Premier League | 20 | 4 | 953 |
With the 32-year-old’s current contract expiring at the end of the season, the Blues will have the opportunity to sign him for free.
It would make sense for the Friedkins to sanction the move as Bramley-Moore Dock may need defensive reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window.
Moyes to be without Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young
Seamus Coleman may play at Bramley-Moore Dock as his current contract expires at the end of the season.
Moyes could possibly lose Ashley Young in the coming weeks as well, leaving the Scottish manager with a lack of options at right-back.
The 62-year-old head coach has deployed Jake O’Brien at the right-hand side of the defence for the majority of the campaign, but it remains to be seen whether the Ireland international will be preferred in his natural position going forward.
Everton will soon have several players out of contract, and they may need to reinforce their squad heavily next summer.
Coufal is a veteran defender who had a successful spell at West Ham under Moyes.
The 32-year-old right-back has struggled for regular minutes under Graham Potter, and while he shouldn’t be seen as a first-choice defender by the Blues, the Czech ace could arguably add much-needed depth to their backline.
Moyes seems to want to reunite with Coufal, and TFG should make the transfer happen.
