Everton line up new loan signing at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton do not appear to be finished with their activity in the summer transfer window and are keen on bringing in new faces through the door.
David Moyes watched Everton lose to Leeds United on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season, with areas of improvement clear as day.
He will be hoping for a different outcome when his side takes on Brighton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.
Alan Myers issues new loan signing update
Everton have made a number of first-team signings this summer, with Jack Grealish and Thierno Barry being the marquee additions.
Both players made their debuts against Leeds, coming off the bench, but Adam Aznou, who joined from Bayern Munich, was unavailable for that one.
He missed the game due to an injury, along with Nathan Patterson, leaving Moyes short on options to choose from at left-back.
- Everton lost three and drew two games in their pre-season
- One of those losses came against Moyes’ former side West Ham
- The Toffees have not yet addressed all their squad needs in the transfer window and are expected to be active in the coming days
Mark Travers, their backup goalkeeper, signed from Bournemouth and was an unused substitute in that game.
However, there was a glaring lack of quality in all parts of the field and former Sky Sports news editor Alan Myers has claimed that he’s sure there will be loan deals lined up ahead of the transfer deadline.
He wrote on X on 20 August: “I’m sure there will be, but they nearly always happen in the last few days, when clubs know what they have.”

Everton face a critical two weeks before the transfer window closes, urgently needing a right-back, midfielder, and right winger to bolster their squad.
With Seamus Coleman ageing and Nathan Patterson injury-prone, a reliable right-back is essential.
The midfield lacks creativity and depth, necessitating a dynamic player to complement Idrissa Gueye.
On the right wing, the Toffees require pace and flair to balance their attack.
The hierarchy surely will be under pressure to secure cost-effective signings, likely involving intense negotiations and scouting to address these gaps, ensuring the team avoids another relegation scrap.
