Tuesday’s Toffee Bites: Everton strongly linked to Champions League fullback

It seems odd that the first serious transfer link to emerge for Everton ahead of this summer is for a top level right back. Sure, the Blues could use quality all over the pitch, but things seem pretty good at right back, no? Seamus Coleman has looked solid since returning from injury and Jonjoe Kenny is a more than capable backup. Not to mention, that’s Cuco Martina’s natural position.

There are better right backs in the world than Everton’s trio. But there are so many other holes on this club that need to be filled. How is a PSG right back even on their radar? Then again, who is even pulling the strings at the club anymore? Is Steve Walsh in or out? Will Sam Allardyce stay or go? How much say does Farhad Moshiri have in football moves? It all remains a mystery.
