Everton have agreement to sign free agent right back

BRENTFORD, ENGLAND - MAY 18: Rico Henry of Brentford is challenged by Kenny Tete of Fulham during the Premier League match between Brentford FC and Fulham FC at Gtech Community Stadium on May 18, 2025 in Brentford, England. It has been all quiet on the incoming transfers front for Everton, but on Sunday morning news broke that the Toffees were close to making their first signing of the summer. Right back has been an area of need for the Blues for some time. As age has caught up to club captain Seamus Coleman, his succession plan has remained extremely murky for a few years now. Academy product Jonjoe Kenny struggled in limited appearances, Scottish signing Nathan Patterson hasn't been much better, and stopgap measure Ashley Young is even older than Coleman. With a massive squad overha...

The Arsenal winger has admitted he initially feared he might never be the same player again after he suffered a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace last December which kept him out of action until April. However, the enforced time away from football’s “conveyor belt” has helped him see the bigger picture, as he prepares t...

Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray looks on during the Super Lig match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce at Rams Park, Istanbul, Turkey on February 24, 2025. Victor Osimhen has rejected the chance to link up with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal. The Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray but owned by Napoli, was offered £25.3million a season by Al-Hilal after they agreed to pay his release clause.

NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND - MARCH 3: Ipswich Town's Liam Delap warming up before the match during the Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round match between Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town at City Ground on March 3, 2025 in Nottingham, England.

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 17: Manchester City's manager Josep Guardiola looks on during the Emirates FA Cup Final match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on May 17, 2025 in London, England. Manchester City wrap up their Premier League campaign on Sunday with a game Pep Guardiola believes is “by far” their most important of the season. City head to Fulham knowing a draw will almost certainly secure a top-five spot and a place in the Champions League for next season. After winning the Premier League title in the past four seasons, it is a relatively modest target but Guardiola recognises it is the very least of the club’s expectations. The City manager said: “If we want to play in the Champions League, we have to take a result there. This is what we are going to d...
