Everton have already been far more active than anyone could have imagined this summer, and there is hope that this trend will continue. However, with PSR having destroyed their most previous campaign, Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell will be wary of taking any chances ahead of such a monumental season. This will be the Toffees’ final season at Goodison Park before moving to the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, therefore they will want to make it a successful one. That could be acquired through the advancement of current players as well as some strategic signings.
Armando Broja breaks silence on transfer rumors. Given Everton’s long-standing interest in Armando Broja, any transfer update on the Albania international should be closely monitored by this fans. After all, a prospective transfer is undoubtedly possible, especially now that the PSR deadline of June 30th has gone.
It almost seems fortuitous that Broja stepped out to speak with RTV Klan (via Calciomercato) to provide an update on his future. When asked specifically about AC Milan’s interest, he stated: “I would tell him (Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan senior advisor) first and foremost that I am a big fan of his, and I have always liked him as a player.”Milan is an excellent club, second only to Real Madrid in history. I would tell him that I needed to speak with the agency and the family first, and then I would let him know.It is true that I have received proposals from these three championships. Are you staying at Chelsea? Is it an option? I still have a contract with them that will expire in few years.
Would Armando Broja suit Everton? Given Dyche’s liking for a tall, muscular, physical frontman, Broja fits the bill. And the fact that Beto and Youssef Chermiti are two of the former Burnley manager’s three permanent Everton signings demonstrates his desperate need to find someone to fill that role, particularly given Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s uncertain future. Last season, the Englishman scored only seven goals, but his work ethic and the focal point he provides are invaluable.
If he leaves this summer, Broja will undoubtedly fill the void, maybe adding even more to the squad with Iliman Ndiaye also poised to join Everton. His physical process and pace, along with the Senegal international’s crafty personality, might lead to a good partnership, and it is worth remembering that the Chelsea player presently sits in the top 1% of European strikers in terms of successful take-ons per 90 minutes.
Meanwhile, during his best season yet, while on loan with Southampton, his six goals were bolstered by 2.8 aerials won per 90 minutes. Last season, Beto averaged only 1.6 points per game in the Premier League. Although his £30 million price tag appears to be high, the 22-year-old may be worth taking a cautious gamble.
