Everton had a frustrating summer transfer window in which they failed to significantly strengthen their squad. However, with the January window just around the corner and the possible acquisition of 777 Partners on the horizon, the Merseyside team could have opportunities to strengthen with three renowned English internationals.
The club’s financial future is at stake, and a deal with the American private equity firm could be crucial to its stability. This has led Everton to consider bringing in reinforcements in the winter market to strengthen their position in the Premier League, where they currently sit in 15th place with just four points from six games.
Everton could take the opportunity to sign players looking to gain minutes ahead of Euro 2024, which could facilitate loan deals or temporary transfers.
Here are the three names on the list of possible additions:
The 3 signings that Everton wants to make in the winter market
-Aaron Ramsdale: With Jordan Pickford likely to be sacrificed in January due to sales, Aaron Ramsdale, England’s backup in goal, could become a viable option for Everton. Although David Raya has taken on the number one role at Arsenal, a loan deal for Ramsdale does not seem like a far-fetched prospect.
-Harry Maguire: Manchester United center-back, Harry Maguire, is a player who would fit well in Everton’s current situation, which needs to strengthen its defense. Although he is not in Erik ten Hag’s plans at United, Gareth Southgate has warned Maguire that he needs to play regularly to be considered for Euro 2024. A move to Everton could provide him with the opportunity he needs, at least temporarily.
-Kalvin Phillips: Although Everton is not facing problems in their midfield at the moment, the possible sale of Amadou Onana could change the situation. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hinted at Kalvin Phillips’ departure in January, praising the player’s adaptation to Everton’s style according to SciSports data analysis. This makes him an attractive option to reinforce Everton’s midfield.
With the winter market approaching, Everton finds themselves in a position where they need to make key decisions to guarantee their survival in the Premier League, and these additions of English players could be the answer to their current problems.
