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.
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.
