About the first Everton transfer of the summer, Sean Dyche has already revealed the outcome.

Even though Idrissa Gueye’s contract has an option to be extended until the end of June 2025, Jack Harrison has returned to Leeds United, but there’s a chance he could be back on loan at Everton again next season.

If you thought Everton’s squad was light this season, a quick look at how it currently looks will remind you just how big of a job Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell have on their hands this summer.

Given that Arnaut Danjuma and Andre Gomes are no longer available, Dyche would greatly benefit from having all four players accessible once more.

Danjuma was never a regular, but his return to Villarreal, combined with Harrison’s, leaves the Blues manager with just two true wide players in Dwight McNeil and rookie Lewis Dobbin.

Gomes has, somewhat surprisingly, developed into a key player for Everton this season.

Although the team is well-stocked in the center of midfield, at least when it comes to other areas of the field, Dyche and director of football Thelwell may need to bolster the ranks there in order to support Gueye, James Garner, and Abdoulaye Doucoure, who is now more effective further forward.

It seems that Onana is ready to move on. This week, the Belgium international stated that he hopes to utilize the next Euro 2024 competition as a springboard to become noticed by a “top club”.

Even though Onana divides the Blues fan base, it is obvious that he would need to be replaced. In light of this, it was revealed this week that Everton is considering loaning Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City.

Phillips was one of the most desirable properties in the English game not too long ago.

All the biggest clubs were keeping an eye on Leeds United’s player, who was crucial to England’s success as they advanced to the Euro 2020 final. Finally, City moved in the summer of 2022, having already paid an upfront £42 million for Phillips’ services.

We may safely conclude that the move hasn’t succeeded. Neither did his second-half loan stint under David Moyes at West Ham United this season.

Even though Phillips is only 28 years old, his career seems to be at a crossroads, and given his difficulties since joining City, some may question whether Everton made the correct decision in signing him.
