Neal Maupay has been a divisive figure at Everton, both within the footballing world and among the club’s supporters. His time at Goodison Park has been far from magical, with just one Premier League goal in his first season under Frank Lampard before being replaced by Sean Dyche.
With Dyche’s arrival bringing even fewer opportunities for Maupay to start, he was eventually loaned out last season. Moving to Brentford seemed to rejuvenate him, but speculation about his future at Everton has persisted.
In a recent update, Maupay himself addressed the rumors on The Peter Crouch podcast, expressing his happiness at Everton and readiness for the upcoming season. Despite his positive outlook, it may be time for Everton to consider selling Maupay.
Standing at just 5 foot 8, Maupay doesn’t fit the physical profile preferred by Dyche for his strikers. With other players ahead of him in the pecking order, it may be in everyone’s best interest for Maupay to find a new club where he can thrive on the pitch.
Although Maupay’s humorous tweet about Dyche may have endeared him to fans, selling him could help Everton financially and open up opportunities for him elsewhere. It’s likely that there are interested clubs willing to take Maupay off Everton’s hands before the transfer window closes.
