Everton reach agreement with attacker as contract already signed
David Moyes and The Friedkin Group are preparing for what’s expected to be the busiest summer at Everton in recent years.
The Toffees announced that players have left on expiry of their contracts and loan deals, while work continues to tie some first-team stars to new deals.
While they avoided relegation comfortably this season, the aim will be to finish even higher in the first campaign at the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.
Isaac Heath commits future and signs three-year contract
According to TEAMtalk (30 May), the Toffees have agreed a three-year contract with attacker Isaac Heath.
He will stay put on Merseyside and an announcement is imminent, with him already committing his future to the club.
The plan for Everton is to send Heath out on loan again for the 2025/26 season.
The 20-year-old is understood to be open to moving to England’s lower divisions, either League One or League Two.
A loan move to the Scottish Premiership could also be on the cards, depending on which clubs show an interest in acquiring his services.
Everton may see Heath being a future first-team player for them
To become a first-team regular at the Toffees, Heath must focus on consistent development and seizing opportunities.
His versatility as an attacking midfielder or winger is a strong foundation, but he’s still extremely raw.
The 20-year-old should prioritise excelling in his planned loan move next season to gain senior-level experience and prove his adaptability in competitive matches.
Regular training with Everton’s first team, as he’s done during international breaks, will help him adapt to the Premier League’s intensity.
Improving his physicality and decision-making, key for Moyes’ system, is crucial.
Maintaining his form and emulating academy successes like Anthony Gordon will position Heath to capitalise on Everton’s youth-focused strategy under the Friedkin ownership, securing a first-team spot.
