As Everton prepares for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign, the club finds itself at a crossroads with significant changes both on and off the pitch. The summer has been eventful for the Toffees, not only in terms of player transfers but also regarding potential shifts in ownership.
John Textor has emerged as a key figure, expressing interest in taking over Everton from Farhad Moshiri. While exclusivity deals have been discussed, the outcome remains uncertain, echoing previous situations with 777 Partners and The Friedkin Group.
The club’s fans eagerly anticipate the season ahead, with hopes pinned on new signings like midfielder Edouardo Bove. However, concerns linger, particularly when it comes to the striking department. Despite adding Iliman Ndiaye to the squad, doubts persist about the strength and depth of the forward line to support Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Pundits like Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker have shared their predictions, expressing cautious optimism tempered by the need for further reinforcements. Micah Richards, in particular, has been vocal about the need for Everton to secure a top-quality striker to complement their existing talent and address potential gaps in the squad.
As the new season looms, Everton supporters remain hopeful yet apprehensive, eager to see how the team will fare under the leadership of manager Sean Dyche. The upcoming campaign promises to be a challenging one, but with strategic signings and tactical improvements, the Toffees aim to navigate the hurdles and make their mark in the Premier League.
