Everton suffer injury concern ahead of Leeds United opener as David Moyes confirms new signings close
Everton ‘s pre-season tour of America has come to an end and David Moyes is hoping he can make some new additions before the new season starts.
David Moyes is hopeful that Everton will sign some new players this week as the new Premier League season looms.
The Toffees have had a difficult summer transfer window so far despite being in need of reinforcements. Nine members of the squad that finished 13th in the table last campaign departed, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Aboulaye Doucoure.
Everton have added three fresh faces, with Thierno Barry (Villarreal), Mark Travers (AFC Bournemouth) and Adam Aznou (Bayern Munich) arriving while Charly Alcaraz’s loan deal was made permanent. But the Blues are still short of numbers and lack options on the right wing and in central midfield.
Everton have made a bid for Southampton’s Tyler Dibling for £27 million. That was rejected but another offer is expected and Saints head coach Will Still has suggested the club are willing to sell for the right price.
The Toffees’ pre-season tour of America ended with a 2-2 draw against Manchester United. Moyes’ side are building up towards the start of the 2025-26 campaign when they face Leeds United at Elland Road on Monday 18 August.
What’s been said
Speaking after the United draw, Moyes said: “I think there will be deals next week, I think there will be. I think we are getting much closer. I have got to say, I thought that four or five weeks ago, as well. But, obviously, we are getting near the tickly bits and have got to get some things done.
