Everton ‘have watched’ £18.5m ‘fantastic talent’ who Crystal Palace recently bid for.
Nobody anticipated much from Everton during the January transfer window, and they haven’t been let down yet.
There are no outgoings or incomings. As expected.
However, it hasn’t stopped the rumors from swirling, with certain celebrities being mentioned as potential Goodison Park switches, even if nothing has proven to happen as of yet.
As one journalist has disclosed, everything might be about to alter in the last five days of the window.
Graeme Bailey, the transfer analyst for HTC Football, was the only person we at Everton News spoke with. He gave us specifics about one young player who the Toffees might still sign this month or this summer.
What Graeme Bailey has said about Everton’s January transfer window
We sought to find out whether there was any truth to the rumours that Amadou Onana might be leaving soon, and whether the club had a contingency plan in place for such an eventuality.
After all, the £33m star has grown into an important figure for Sean Dyche’s side, and his exit would mark a hammer blow.
Bailey, though, has hinted that another midfield player might still be on the way and that it is doubtful the Belgian will go very soon.
It’s intriguing that we see Adam Wharton, who is the target of an offer from Crystal Palace, he said. “I know Everton has watched Adam Wharton before; everyone knows he’s a fantastic talent,” he said. “But I do think Everton will be sniffing around him.”
“I don’t think there should be any backup plans, though; nobody is ever, in my opinion, going to pay £60 million for Amadou Onana, especially not in January.”
How good is Adam Wharton?
An all-action midfielder who can seemingly do it all, it is no surprise that the Eagles are so keen to bring the 19-year-old to Selhurst Park even for the reported £18.5m bid.
And, in the same vein, that he has caught Dyche’s eye either.
After all, the youthful enforcer, who seems to be able to do it all, has had an incredible campaign thus far.
A plethora of remarkable personalities serve as examples of this, portraying a youthful prodigy who was free to perform anywhere he pleased.
As seen by his 2.3 tackles, 1.2 interceptions, and 5.5 ball recoveries per game in the Championship, according to Sofascore, his defensive acumen is already flawless.
