David Moyes has proved to have a knack for redeeming players' careers at Everton.

Beto was the first to feel Moyes' powers at Everton, as the striker became a genuine option upfront, after a dismal start under Sean Dyche.

Jack Grealish has enjoyed a stunning start at Everton, after finally getting free of the shackles of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is also thriving after departing Chelsea and joining the Blues under Moyes' guidance, and Sergio Reguilon could be next.

Sergio Reguilon would be a great option for Everton

Reguilon has been linked with a free transfer to Everton over the past week or so, and that could be a realistic option given the latest developments on Merseyside.

Everton have announced their squad for the Premier League campaign, and there are two spaces with the homegrown quota also fulfilled.

The fact that the Blues have only named a 23-man squad means that they can sign two free agents, before they reach the squad limit, meaning Reguilon could come in.

Everton can be the perfect move for Sergio Reguilon

Reguilon was in the wilderness in his final few years at Tottenham, and he did not impress when he was loaned to Brentford or Manchester United.

However, at just 28 years old, there is still a good player in there somewhere; he just needs regular gametime to show it.

Strengths:

  • Ball carrying: Able to take on and beat opponents to get into decent attacking areas
  • Crossing: Can deliver accurate, dangerous crosses into the penalty area
  • Pressing: Aggressive defender, can press high to win the ball back

Weaknesses:

  • Physicality: Not strong in duels due to his lightweight frame
  • Discipline: His aggressive defending style often leads to fouls and, therefore, bookings
  • Lack of game time: Played four Premier League matches last season

Moyes has already shown that he can work his magic on players who have been written off, and Reguilon could be the latest beneficiary of that.

Whether the move materialises remains to be seen, but the Blues may well be in need of a left-back due to the injury issues of Vitalii Mykolenko and the inexperience of Adam Aznou, and Reguilon would be a good fit.
