Everton needs more depth on right back after the exit of Ashley Young, while competition is also needed for club captain Seamus Coleman, and Kyle Walker has been identified as a target
This summer, Kyle Walker leads from Everton's four-member transfer list of right backs, while David Moyes wants to offer a competition to Seamus Coleman.
Everton fought degradation under Sean Dyche last season before Moyes arrived and saved them from the drop, so that a 13th placed finish with 48 points was obtained.
Moyes has inspired excellent displays of people like Iliman Ndiaye and Beto and now he wants to strengthen his team with more quality to ensure that the toffees push next season – with right back seen as an area of ​​weakness.
Everton has veteran Seamus Coleman on right back, but the club captain is 36 and the club knows that they need more options in that position, especially after Ashley Young had left.
According to The Times, Everton has identified four right backs that can add depth to the board this summer, with Manchester City Star Walker who opens that list.
The right back of England spent on loan last season at AC Milan after telling manager Pep Guardiola, he wanted a new challenge. He is not expected to stay in Etihad this summer and Everton belongs to a “growing list” that is interested in signing him.
Although they have offered a year of extension to Coleman, they still need coverage on right back and are an optimistic city that Walker wanted to load.
Everton has been given the hope that they could be one of the front runners to sign the 35-year-old Walker after Milan had rejected the chance to permanently sign him. Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in Turkey are included in the teams who like to have a movement.
Another option for Everton is Fulham star Kenny Tete, who will be available for a free transfer when his contract in Craven Cottage ends later this month.
Because Everton has limited money to spend while preparing for a first season in their new stadium, Moyes will have to look for bargains. Former West Ham star Vladimir Coufal and former Southampton-Man Kyle Walker-Peters are two more goals in consideration, says the report.
While Walker is looking for clarity about his future, another report from The Guardian claims that he would be “enthusiastic” about joining Everton and does not look at another move abroad after his enchantment in Milan.
Walker played a total of 646 career matches and has won an impressive range of trophies. He has six Premier League titles, while he has won the Champions League, the League Cup four times, the FA Cup twice and also the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
