“I am told” – Everton’s chances of out of window signing after failed deals emerge

The transfer window may have closed for the season, but Everton still has an opportunity to strengthen its squad by signing a free agent. The club has made a promising start to the Premier League season, securing two victories from their first three matches against Brighton and Wolves. New signings have already made a significant impact, with Jack Grealish earning praise and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scoring against Wolves and speaking highly of the club’s supporters.
In an interview with Everton News, journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Everton is exploring the possibility of signing a free-agent defender. This comes after the club was reportedly close to a few deals that ultimately fell through. While manager David Moyes is satisfied with the summer business, he is open to bringing in an experienced defender to provide additional cover.
While Everton’s squad appears strong after an active summer, adding depth is always beneficial. The right-back position has been a point of concern in recent years, and with Jarrad Branthwaite currently injured, the team lacks depth at center-back. The veteran duo of James Tarkowski and Michael Keane are the primary options, and with Branthwaite’s long-term future at the club uncertain, a free-agent signing could offer a valuable solution.
A potential option for Everton is Kurt Zouma. Having previously played under Moyes at West Ham, the 30-year-old defender could bring much-needed experience to the backline.
