Everton holds talks to sign £20m ‘machine’

Everton is leaving Goodison Park this weekend. David Moyes will lead the Toffees against Southampton on Sunday afternoon, which will be the last match for the men’s team to compete at its historic stadium.

Suitable, Moyes should return to the final months of Everton’s long-term chapter in January, but he should also lead the club into a new era at Bramley-Moore Marina.

Moyes left the Premier League relegation zone, and Moyes handed over Friedkin Group’s new owner, Friedkin Group, to the keys to the transfer box before the summer window.

But before we watch who is designated as the end of the 2024/25 campaign, let’s first look at the overload of first-team stars who will set off when their contracts reach the end of the season.

Player Everton may keep

Everton is looking forward to the book of Exodus. Many players on contract will not be able to survive driving to their new home. However, some people perform well and should get new deals.

Idrissa Gueye may be 35, but he definitely anchored Everton’s midfield after a great season at center. A few weeks ago, Football Insider published a report saying he was negotiating for a delay.

Senior right-backs Ashley Young and Seamus Coleman probably won’t win votes, which is probably the best. However, Michael Keane scored a 3-1 victory last weekend at Fulham, which suggests that there is more in his tank.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure have a total salary of £23,000 per week and may also leave.

On the right, Loanees Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom have failed to hide their glory this season, but Charly Alcaraz has shown a lot of hope, with the flamenco player’s permanent terms worth £15m and will certainly be activated.

Alcaraz, 22, has faded since his arrival in January, but his talent is undoubtedly a goal and only six Premier League three assists, the Toffees can benefit from gaining offensive talent in their team again at the start of the next season.

He has been a dynamic addition to the midfield, and now Moyes wants to bring in another person to blend with the prospect of the Argentinian.

Moyes’ favorite before queuing

Importantly, Everton wants to keep some valuable signatures and several people are abandoned to make room for new talent. Doucoure, 32, is the top earner in Everton and no longer justifies his salary.

That’s why Moyes was determined to replace Marian with his former favorite Tomas Soucek, a big part of the Scots’ success at West Ham United, but in a new system led by Graham Potter, the Scots’ success.

According to the launch room of Transfer Insider Graeme Bailey, Soucek was told he could leave the London Stadium. Despite hardcore struggles, the 30-year-old enjoyed a great season, feeling a £20 million bid would convince West Ham to sell, and Leeds United were also keen on.

The reporter claimed that five Premier League teams had held talks with the Czech international team, including Toffees and Leeds, before the summer transfer window.

Why Tomas Soucek Will Be a Smart Sign Up

Since Alcaraz provides some level of offensive relief from the attacking midfield area (usually central or tilt to the left), Soucek can be an excellent partner when slamming these partners from the center into the dangerous area.

Soucek isn’t the most creative midfielder on the block, but he works for his work: providing physical presence and ongoing offensive threats. Former West Ham correspondent Tom Clark calls him a “machine”

This season, the Czech Republic International scored nine goals in 33 Premier League games this season and provided two assists.

As can be seen from the table below, Soucek certainly knows how to score, and he consistently produced his results for the five years he spent in East London, seeing him rank fifth in the Hammers’ all-time midfield scoring list.

Although he would add an offensive dimension to Everton’s setup, there are plenty more in his locker. According to Sofascore, the £90,000 midfielder averaged 5.2 duels per game, indicating a fighting and hardworking approach.

But shooting is and is always his most gorgeous indicator. FBREF records say he ranked in the top 3% of European top five leagues this season, scoring the highest 4% of goals, while the highest hit rate in the box is the top 1% and the best in the air win in every 90 games.

The 6-foot-3 star may not be the smoothest ball on the ball, which is why Porter wants to get rid of him, but it doesn’t matter when Moyes is at Everton Helm. Especially when his contrasting abilities can be weaved with Alcaraz’s contrasting abilities to create something that balances and layers behind the frontline.

Alcaraz’s impressive assist record was created through his consistent focus on his playback, relying not only on his death, but also on his ability to win back and start transition sequences. He has won six big chances in the Premier League, with an average of 1.1 key passes per game.

Alcaraz hasn’t really started yet and has a preseason run behind him, with Soucek joining the mix, which can be exciting and it could be a real treat for Everton fans next season.

After all, Soucek’s feature was more prominent than any other West Ham player during Moyes’ reign, and the manager’s trust in Rangy’s veteran could help tactical implementation at Bramley-Moore next season.

This is indeed the signing Everton needs to see on this line. Soucek will help inspire Everton’s new goal quality while maintaining the strong defensive value of Moyes.

He has tried and tested in the tactician’s system and can help Alcaraz alone by using his body to thrive on the former Southamptonian.
