The uncertainty regarding Everton’s division for the upcoming season adds weight to the importance of securing transfer bargains, regardless of the level they compete in.
Recent reports from Football Insider suggest that Everton have been impressed by the performance of 18-year-old forward Omari Benjamin during his trial at Goodison Park. Benjamin, who is currently with Arsenal, showcased his abilities during his trial earlier this year, operating as either a striker or on the left wing and even scoring for Everton’s Under-21s in the Premier League 2 on March 2.
According to FI, Everton’s management is convinced of Benjamin’s potential and are inclined to offer him a long-term contract, with Arsenal poised to release him at the end of the current season. Despite interest from other Premier League clubs, Everton appears to be the frontrunner for securing Benjamin’s signature, considering his previous trial with the club.
Football Insider also highlighted Everton’s belief in Benjamin’s future as a top-tier Premier League player, indicating a potential significant transfer coup for manager Sean Dyche, which could prove crucial in light of the club’s financial difficulties.
To address financial challenges, Everton might need to consider selling some of their key assets, regardless of their relegation fate. Center-back Jarrad Brathwaite has attracted interest from Manchester United, with competition anticipated from Manchester City. Additionally, midfielder Amadou Onana is a target for various clubs, including Arsenal and Barcelona.
