BREAKING: Everton face fresh pressure after chaotic transfer window
Everton are facing renewed scrutiny following a dramatic end to their summer transfer window, with supporters increasingly concerned about the depth of David Moyes’ squad.
The Toffees failed to complete their proposed move for Folarin Balogun, while several other deals also collapsed during the closing stages of the window. Everton did, however, bring in Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
The striker situation has now become a major talking point, with Everton reportedly considering free-agent options after their failure to secure Balogun.
Former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has emerged among the names linked with a possible solution, while Jamie Vardy has also been mentioned.
The situation has added pressure ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Grealish’s return to Everton could provide an important creative boost, but Moyes will need more from the players already available if the club is to avoid being dragged into another difficult campaign.
The transfer window may be closed, but the debate surrounding Everton’s squad is far from over.
Sunday’s meeting with United could therefore provide an early indication of whether the Toffees can overcome their turbulent summer and focus fully on matters on the pitch.
