Everton wrapped up their summer transfer window in impressive fashion, making two last-minute additions on deadline day.
Following a rough start to the Premier League season, sitting at the bottom of the table after back-to-back heavy losses, Everton needed to capitalize on the late opportunities presented to them.
Despite off-field issues, the Toffees welcomed seven new players to Goodison Park, strengthening their squad significantly.
One surprising deal saw midfielder Orel Mangala join on loan from Lyon, catching even Sky Sports journalist Alan Myers off guard.
In the final hours of the window, Everton secured the loan signing of striker Armando Broja, leaving club executives delighted, despite the player still recovering from an injury.
The unexpected deal left Myers expressing his surprise on social media, but with new additions in the squad, Everton fans have reason to feel hopeful as the team prepares to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
Although the new signings may not be available for the upcoming match, their presence will provide a much-needed boost as Everton looks to turn around their season under manager Sean Dyche.
