“£20M STEAL OF THE SUMMER?” — Everton Circle 38 G/A SENSATION as Leicester Collapse Sparks Transfer WAR

Everton are once again pushing to land Abdul Fatawu, with plans emerging for a cut-price £20 million swoop as Leicester City edge closer to a devastating drop.

The Merseyside club have tracked the explosive winger for some time and previously considered a move last summer.

However, they backed away after Leicester’s valuation proved too steep, instead turning to Tyler Dibling from Southampton.

Now, with Leicester’s situation spiraling, the deal is suddenly back on—and far more attainable.Financial chaos has gripped Leicester following points deductions tied to breaches of EFL sustainability rules.

With the club now staring at the very real possibility of relegation to League One, a major squad overhaul looks inevitable, and Fatawu is expected to be among the first high-profile exits.

Despite exploring the possibility of keeping loanees Jack Grealish and Tyrique George, Everton are still actively hunting reinforcements out wide.

George, in particular, has yet to fully convince decision-makers that he deserves a permanent £25 million move from Chelsea.Fatawu, meanwhile, continues to shine.

The 22-year-old has delivered an outstanding 38 goal contributions—16 goals and 22 assists—in 97 appearances, making him one of the most dangerous attacking outlets available if Leicester are forced into a fire sale.

There are also lingering doubts over Dwight McNeil, whose future remains uncertain despite forcing his way back into the lineup under David Moyes.

That uncertainty only strengthens Everton’s urgency to secure another winger.However, the Toffees won’t have a free run.

Sunderland are also closely monitoring Fatawu’s situation, setting the stage for a fierce transfer battle as both sides look to capitalize on Leicester’s crisis.

This season alone, Fatawu has registered nine goals and seven assists in 41 Championship appearances, further boosting his stock.

If Leicester’s relegation is confirmed, he is widely expected to be one of the first names sacrificed, with a £20 million fee now seen as enough—well below his previously reported £30 million clause.

Elsewhere, Everton remain optimistic about retaining Grealish beyond this campaign. Even after his injury setback, the club are undeterred, and another loan deal with Manchester City is currently viewed as the most likely outcome.
