Football pundit Carlton Palmer suggests that Everton may struggle to compete with Championship clubs like Leeds United and Leicester City in the race to sign Karamoko Dembele this summer. The 21-year-old winger has been impressing on loan at Blackpool from Brest, attracting interest from various Premier League sides including Everton, West Ham, Fulham, and Brentford.
Palmer believes that Dembele’s chances of regular playing time might be higher at clubs like Leeds or Leicester, compared to Everton where he could end up as more of a squad player. However, the financial aspect of the deal could be a major obstacle for Everton, especially with other clubs also vying for the talented youngster.
While the jump from League One to the Premier League is a big one, Dembele’s potential as a top-flight player cannot be ignored. Whether Everton can secure a deal for him remains to be seen, but it will certainly be a challenge given the competition and financial constraints they may face. Ultimately, the decision will come down to what Dembele sees as the best opportunity for his career progression.
