Moyes ‘has perfect Coleman replacement at Everton’ after Fabrizio Romano reveal
David Moyes arguably needs a new right-back at Everton as Seamus Coleman continues to struggle with injuries at Goodison Park.
The Scottish manager must be backed by The Friedkin Group (TFG) in the upcoming transfer window after his recent achievements.
Since returning to the Toffees, Moyes has deployed Jake O’Brien at right back, but it’s not the Ireland international’s natural position.
With Coleman’s contract at Goodison Park expiring soon, the Blues must look for his replacement, and they may soon be able to sign one as a free agent.
Kyle Walker-Peters to leave Southampton amid Everton transfer interest
Kyle Walker-Peters will leave Southampton as a free agent at the end of the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian journalist revealed on X (24 May) that the 28-year-old will play his final game for the Saints against Arsenal on Saturday (25 May) at St Mary’s Stadium.
It’s been claimed that the English right-back hasn’t made a decision on his future club yet, with options set to be explored.

Moyes’ team are interested in Walker-Peters, but it remains to be seen whether the Blues can pull off a potential deal.
Considering the 28-year-old will be a free agent soon, several teams will undoubtedly be vying for his signing, and the Merseyside outfit will arguably have to be quick in their attempt.
Coleman will turn 37 later this year, and now should be the right time for the Toffees to replace the Ireland international.
Moyes must push TFG for Walker-Peters transfer
Ashley Young will leave Everton once his contract expires at the end of the season, and the 39-year-old played an important role as a backup this season.
Nathan Patterson’s future under Moyes is uncertain, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Scotsman depart for regular game time elsewhere next summer.
With Walker-Peters’ ability to play on both wings, it makes sense for the Merseyside outfit to pounce on his signature.
The Toffees could potentially lose several players as free agents soon, and by signing the Southampton ace, they may be able to save some of their funds to bolster other areas of the pitch.
