Everton open door for free agent signing as official announcement made
Everton could still bring in more players if they want to.
Everton have started the campaign brilliantly, and they are unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches.
Jack Grealish has proved to be an inspired addition for Everton on loan, as has Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who was signed for £25million.
However, David Moyes may decide to make more signings at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, despite the transfer window being closed.
Everton make squad announcement for Premier League
Everton made their final addition with Merlin Rohl on deadline day, but their business may not be finished yet.
Everton have registered their squad for the Premier League campaign, and there are two spaces for potential incomings.
The Blues have named a 23-man squad, with the homegrown rule already satisfied, so they could bring in whoever they like to fill the other two spots that remain.
Everton can still bring in a free transfer or two
Moyes’ side still have some areas in which they can improve, especially the right-side of defence.
They failed to bring in a new player in that position, leaving centre-back Jake O’Brien as Moyes’ preferred option, despite it not being his natural role.
- Moyes’ side reinforced their midfield in the transfer window
- They also signed two goalkeepers to back up Jordan Pickford
- Thierno Barry was brought in to compete with Beto
- They still left themselves short in a few positions
Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson are behind him in the pecking order, but they are injury-prone and cannot be relied upon in the long term.
Left-back could be another problem position, with Vitalii Mykolenko injured and Adam Aznou not ready to step up to the first team, and no emerging options from the youth ranks.
The Toffees have been linked with the likes of ex-Tottenham man Sergio Reguilon and former Arsenal ace Takehiro Tomiyasu, and if they wanted to bring those players in, they would be allowed as they have two spots and have already fulfilled their homegrown requirements.
They have the room in their squad, but whether they do, or save the spaces for potential additions the winter transfer window, remains to be seen.
