Everton are reportedly preparing to make an approach for a Premier League player when the current season concludes, according to new transfer reports.
Everton Transfer News
With Everton likely avoiding relegation this season, the club is expected to focus on potential summer signings to strengthen David Moyes’ squad.
However, some players may also leave at the end of the season. Reports suggest that Jack Harrison’s loan spell will not be made permanent. The winger is currently on his second loan at Goodison Park from Leeds, and it seems his time with the club is coming to an end.
Meanwhile, Everton face a challenge in keeping Jarrad Branthwaite, as the impressive young defender has attracted interest from Real Madrid, highlighting his growing reputation.
Regarding potential new arrivals, Tottenham’s Manor Solomon has been mentioned as a possible target for Everton when his loan with Leeds finishes this summer.
Everton Pushing to Sign Premier League Ace
According to reports, Everton are prepared to make a move for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard ahead of the summer transfer window.
Premier League rivals Fulham and Bournemouth are also understood to be interested in the 30-year-old, who could be available on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season if he does not agree to a new deal.
Norgaard could prove to be a shrewd signing for Everton. While not necessarily a flashy player, he offers significant experience and hard work in midfield.
The Brentford captain is having another strong season, starting in 23 Premier League matches and contributing five goals and assists. Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emphasized Norgaard’s importance to the team, stating:
‘He’s a key player for us… Norgaard is one of the players that makes the team tick. The amount of interceptions, second balls he wins, his ability to keep the ball and play the pass forward is key.’
Norgaard is a player who could flourish under Moyes, who would likely appreciate his midfield qualities. Despite his age, he could be a valuable asset for several seasons.
| Christian Norgaard’s Premier League stats in 2024/25 | Total |
|---|---|
| Appearances | 23 |
| Starts | 23 |
| Minutes played | 1841 |
| Goals | 3 |
| Assists | 2 |
| Tackles per game | 2.7 |
| Clearances per game | 2.0 |
| Pass completion rate | 82.9% |
If Abdoulaye Doucoure departs from Everton at the end of the season, Norgaard could be an ideal replacement in a crucial area of the field, making this a transfer to watch closely.
