AliousEverton’s summer spending was likely influenced by an anticipated major sale, which materialized with Amadou Onana’s £50m transfer to Aston Villa.
This influx of funds has allowed Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell to be active in the transfer market.
Despite making five signings (three permanent and two loans), Everton is reportedly still interested in two more midfielders.
However, given recent news from a credible journalist, the club might be better off redirecting their focus to address a critical issue by signing one star player.
Everton’s main problem remains their lack of goal-scoring threat.
While recent signings Iliman Ndiaye and Jesper Lindstrom should improve creativity, finishing remains a concern with both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto struggling for consistency.
Richarlison, a former Everton player who left for Tottenham two years ago for £60m, could be the solution.
Despite struggling at Spurs, recent reports suggest his future is uncertain.
Journalist Paul O’Keefe has ruled out a move to Saudi Arabia, stating Richarlison “doesn’t want to go.”This situation could present an opportunity for Everton to make a bold move to bring Richarlison back to Goodison Park.
Despite leaving for what seemed like a better opportunity, Spurs are no longer the Champions League contender they were when he joined.
Richarlison’s work rate and previous success at Everton (10 goals and 5 assists in his final season) suggest he could thrive under Dyche’s system.
His aerial ability, link-up play, and existing relationship with Calvert-Lewin make him an ideal fit.
If Thelwell can convince Richarlison to return, it could be a transformative move for Everton.
The club should consider offering him whatever it takes to secure his services and build a sustainable, progressive team around him.
