Everton: £75k-p/w “monster” could solve Dyche’s new problem
The Toffees need to improve after the international break…
The hubbub of the summer transfer window has now ended and for the majority of Premier League managers, has likely been met with relief.
The snapping jaws of lucrative rivals have now lost their bite, and the focus is now solely on conjuring up a campaign worthy of cheer, and for Everton boss Sean Dyche, he will feel that the squad he wields is stronger now than it was at the end of the 2022/23 term.
Indeed, the Toffees escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, with Abdoulaye Doucoure’s emphatic second-half finish against Bournemouth on the final day enough to bag three points and relegate Leicester City in their stead.
The club finished as the division’s second-lowest scorers, and while a cutting edge still needs sharpening, there is now a new quandary for Dyche to find a solution.
Who did Everton sign this summer?
After a campaign littered in misery, Dyche will have hoped that his work on the transfer front would at least smatter some positivity on the blue half of Merseyside, with Ashley Young, Arnaut Danjuma, Jack Harrison, Youssef Chermiti and Beto arriving to transform results on the pitch.
That hasn’t quite been the case thus far, with the Goodison Park side commencing the season with a triad of league losses against Fulham, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers, failing to score across each encounter.
