Bad news for Ashley Young as Everton in battle with Leeds United for free agent signing
Everton fans are already excited for the summer – but it appears the Toffees face competition to land one target.
Everton were fairly quiet in the January window, only bringing in Carlos Alcaraz in the end.
Alcaraz joined on loan from Flamengo, with Everton having an option to buy.
David Moyes wasn’t keen to spend unnecessarily, and The Friedkin Group also had to be mindful of PSR.
But this summer, The Friedkin Group are expected to hand David Moyes a healthy transfer budget, and supporters are looking forward to seeing some cash being splashed.
But it’s possible Everton could be going after a player who currently stands to become a free agent.
Everton showed interest in Kyle Walker-Peters in January, but a move never materialised due to Southampton’s demands.
The Saints were thought to have been wanting at least £7 million, but Everton could go back in for him in the summer.
The big factor in Walker-Peters’ decision as Everton, Leeds and Leicester eye free swoop
It has been reported by TEAMtalk that Leeds United have now joined the hunt for Kyle Walker-Peters.
The Championship reportedly looked at him in January like Everton, and could attempt to move for him once again in the next window.
It is stated that he’s a player to keep an eye on in terms of incomings at Leeds.
