Everton manager David Moyes must sort right‑back vacancy and transfer plans before season start

David Moyes faces several squad decisions as Everton prepare for the new Premier League campaign. The departure of Seamus Coleman has left the club without a senior right‑back, prompting interest in Celtic’s Alistair Johnston while centre‑back Jake O’Brien continues to be used out of position. Moyes also needs to decide whether to promote young left‑back Adam Aznou, who impressed in pre‑season in Germany, or to seek other options.

The club’s recent transfer strategy under the Friedkin Group has been mixed. High‑profile signings such as Jack Grealish and Tyler Dibling have yet to deliver consistent impact, and further moves are being discussed, including a possible loan return for Grealish and rumors around Iliman Ndiaye. Overall, Everton’s recruitment and positional depth remain key topics ahead of the August 22 opener against Crystal Palace.
