Why quick-fire Kenny Tete transfer is now on cards at Everton as contact made
Kenny Tete could soon make the move to Everton from Fulham.
Not much time is left before the 1 September transfer deadline in the Premier League and the Toffees seem to have landed on their preferred right-back option.
David Moyes has been looking to strengthen the position since last summer, with the 30-year-old linked with the Blues back then, and it remains to be seen whether they can finally get a deal over the line.
Tete has emerged as a concrete target at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Netherlands international is currently competing with Timothy Castagne for minutes at Craven Cottage.

Kenny Tete transfer latest at Everton
Tete has already agreed personal terms with Everton, with Fabrizio Romano suggesting the deal now depends on a club-to-club agreement.
On 29 August, Voetbal International reported that the defender had already made up his mind regarding the move.
It has been suggested that now feels like the right time for the Dutchman to leave Craven Cottage and Hill Dickinson Stadium could provide the new challenge he may be looking for.

Voetbal International journalist Joost Blaauwhof has also added that the Blues want to "quickly snatch" Tete from the Cottagers.
Why The Friedkin Group have questions to answer at Hill Dickinson Stadium
It's clear from recent press conferences that Moyes isn't necessarily happy with Everton's transfer business.
Harrison Armstrong could leave Hill Dickinson Stadium before the transfer deadline, raising concerns among the fanbase.
If the Toffees really aim to make progress and build for the future, the optics around the young midfielder's situation in L3 don't look good.
It has also taken The Friedkin Group more time than needed to find a new right-back for Moyes, and in the final days of the window, they've returned to one of their targets from last summer.
