Everton have been linked with several midfielders so far. It was reported earlier this week that the Toffees admire Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff, who has a year remaining on his St James’ Park contract. Longstaff was a bit-part player for the Magpies last term and may feel he needs to leave his boyhood club to play regularly.
 
A reunion with Moyes and Tomas Soucek has also been mooted. The pair enjoyed success together at West Ham, winning the Europa Conference League in 2023 while Moyes was in charge. However, Soucek is aged 30 and would have no resale value.

		Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has spoken about Marcus Rashford amid the uncertainty over his Manchester United future. Speculation surrounding Rashford’s future increased this week after he was left out of United’s matchday squad for the derby win over rivals Manchester City. On Tuesday night, journalist Henry Winter posted his interview with Rashford, during which he asked the Englishman whether he is staying or going. Rashford went on to reply: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.” As a result, with the January transfer window on the horizon, Rashford has been linked with a host of different clubs around the globe. Despite not being directly linked with the North London club, Spurs boss Postecoglou was asked about Rashford ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against United. The Australian said: “No interest, don’t care, no interest. He’s a Man United player, a very good player, they’ve got plenty of good players. “But I manage my players and I guess other managers will manage their own players. In terms of Marcus’ situation, I have no real desire to examine it any further.” When pushed on whether Spurs would consider a move for Rashford, Postecoglou added: “Oh, mate, if I looked at everyone who we were linked to I’d have no time to do anything else, to be honest. I’ve got other people to do that part of the process. “For us, we’ve been pretty disciplined in terms of what we’re trying to build here and will continue to be so. You can ask me about Marcus, but you could ask me about any Premier League footballer, I’m going to say the same thing.” Marcus Rashford new club latest odds Odds were correct at the time of writing via Sky Bet Paris Saint Germain – 11/4 Any Saudi Pro League Club – 11/2 Arsenal – 9/1 Any MLS Club – 10/1 Chelsea – 12/1 Barcelona – 14/1 Bayern Munich – 16/1 Juventus – 25/1 Real Madrid – 25/1

Everton have made Charly Alcaraz’s switch permanent after his impressive loan spell from Flamengo in the second half of 2024-25. However, Alcaraz is an attacking midfielder who can also play wide and the Blues need options for the middle of the park.
