AliousTim Iroegbunam’s transfer to Everton from Aston Villa was unexpected for many supporters.
The midfielder, signed on a three-year deal, was Everton’s first summer acquisition, followed by Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Harrison, Jesper Lindstrom, and JaCalvert-Llips.
Iroegbunam has impressed in pre-season matches, with manager Sean Dyche praising both him and Ndiaye for exhibiting desirable traits. While Ndiaye showed promise as a substitute, creating chances and nearly scoring, it was Iroegbunam who truly stood out with an outstanding performance.
His consistent improvement suggests he’s likely to start against Brighton & Hove Albion in the upcoming Premier League opener. Fans appreciated his efforts, giving him a standing ovation when substituted.
As Everton prepares to bid farewell to Goodison Park, the team faces another Premier League campaign before moving to their new stadium. Compared to last year, Everton’s squad appears stronger, with new signings adding quality and depth.
This improved roster suggests the team should be capable of more than just avoiding relegation this season.
Regarding transfers, Jarrad Branthwaite’s future at Everton remains uncertain amid Manchester United’s interest.
However, recent developments suggest Everton may retain him.
Lastly, Edoardo Bove, previously linked with Everton, made a brief appearance for Roma in a friendly match but failed to make a significant impact, leaving Everton fans wondering if he was a missed opportunity.
