Everton now eyeing move to sign “great” £35,000-a-week player for Sean Dyche

The Toffees could fully capitalize on his contract situation…

It’s shaping up to be a crucial summer for Everton, and with bargain deals becoming increasingly crucial, new reports indicate that they could exploit the collapse of one player’s contract.

In Everton transfer news, following a season marked by point deductions, the club will be cautious about avoiding any risk of violating the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules once again. Additionally, Everton’s ability to spend in the upcoming transfer window remains uncertain following the collapse of 777 Partners’ takeover bid, as confirmed by the club. While John Textor’s reported pending bid could potentially rescue Everton, they may still face limitations in the summer transfer market.

In the absence of a takeover, Everton may need to explore alternative methods to raise funds, potentially including the sale of star players like Jarrad Branthwaite and Amadou Onana, both of whom have been linked with summer exits. However, if Everton can make astute moves in the transfer market, they may be able to avoid such sales altogether. Bobby Decordova-Reid could play a crucial role in this strategy.

According to TeamTalk, Everton could be considering a move for Decordova-Reid after his contract negotiations with Fulham fell through, making the forward a free agent this summer. While Everton isn’t the only club interested, with Leeds United also eyeing a move, those at Goodison Park may feel that their Premier League status puts them in a favorable position to secure the 31-year-old’s signature in the upcoming months.

Decordova-Reid had a strong season at Craven Cottage, and considering Everton’s lack of firepower in attack last season, his arrival could provide Dyche with a much-needed boost. With reported wages of £35k-a-week and being a free agent, signing Decordova-Reid represents the type of deal that Everton should be targeting this summer.

The addition of “great” Decordova-Reid could provide the much-needed partner for Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Everton. Calvert-Lewin’s most successful spell at the club occurred when he had Richarlison alongside him. However, since Richarlison’s departure to Tottenham Hotspur, Calvert-Lewin has faced challenges in reproducing that level of performance.

Despite facing injuries, providing Calvert-Lewin with a tireless partner like Decordova-Reid, who can replicate Richarlison’s work ethic, could potentially offer Dyche his most significant boost yet.
