Everton has been leading the way in the transfer market this summer, setting the trend for other teams to follow. Despite missing out on top targets like Yankuba Minteh and Jaden Philogene, who ended up at Premier League rivals, the Toffees have been proactive in their pursuit of exciting talents.
However, the allure of Goodison Park seems to have faded in recent years, with promising players opting for other clubs over Everton. This frustrating trend could be changing though, as news emerges of a potential stalling deal that could benefit Sean Dyche and his Everton side.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s move to West Ham United has hit a roadblock, despite no issues with personal terms or willingness from Manchester United to sell. With the full-back’s departure on hold, Everton could swoop in and solve their right-back problem in one fell swoop.
With Seamus Coleman injured and Nathan Patterson not in Dyche’s plans, Everton lack a long-term solution at right-back. Ashley Young, at 39 years old, is not the answer either. Wan-Bissaka could be the star Everton need to solidify their defense and make a statement in the transfer market.
As the deal for Wan-Bissaka hangs in the balance, Everton may have a chance to turn the tables and secure a top talent that has eluded them in the past. With the potential to hijack the move, Dyche and Everton could finally address their problem position and make a statement of intent for the upcoming season.
