Everton transfer update shared by Sky Sports journalist on West Brom ace Tom Fellows

Sky Sports news editor Alan Myers claims that he's not heard anything about Everton wanting to sign West Brom attacker Tom Fellows.

This comes after TEAMtalk reported on 28 August that the Toffees are eyeing a move to sign the 21-year-old.

It's understood that the Englishman is valued at £15million should any club attempt to sign him before the transfer window closes.

Myers wrote on X: "Not heard that."

Everton must not shell out that kind of money on Tom Fellows

At 21, Fellows has shown promise in the Championship, but his lack of a proven track record outside this league makes him a risky investment at such a price.

The Premier League's demands are vastly different, requiring not just talent but immediate adaptability and consistency.

For Everton, spending £15million on a player who has yet to demonstrate his ability at a higher level could be seen as an overvaluation, especially when compared to other proven talents available within or even below that price range.

This investment could strain the Toffees' budget, potentially needed for more established players or other squad needs.

Moreover, the risk of Fellows not transitioning successfully could lead to a depreciation in his value, impacting Everton's future transfer strategies and financial planning.

If things haven't progressed so far, they are unlikely to before the 30 August deadline.
