adminFabrizio Romano puts Everton on alert as forward target ‘closing in’ on exit before Monday
Everton are facing the real possibility of missing out on one of their winter transfer targets, with a rival club now close to completing a deal.
More than four weeks into the January transfer window, the Blues have yet to make a single signing, leaving supporters increasingly frustrated. With deadline day set for Monday, the lack of movement suggests David Moyes has been unconvinced by the options available on the market.
Moyes had already hinted that Everton might not add any new players during the winter window, describing it as an opportunity-based period for most clubs. While that admission was not what fans wanted to hear, it is proving accurate, as another reported target now looks set to slip through Everton’s fingers.
Although reports suggested The Friedkin Group were prepared to support Everton financially, swift action is required if they are to secure Wesley Gassova — and that now appears unlikely.
Everton set to miss out on Wesley Gassova after Fabrizio Romano update
Earlier this week, Everton were linked with an interest in Wesley, who currently plays for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr. Attacking reinforcements remain a priority on Merseyside, but it seems increasingly clear the Brazilian winger will not be arriving at Goodison Park.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Wesley is now close to joining La Liga outfit Real Sociedad. Romano added that the deal is in its final stages, with a trademark “Here We Go” expected imminently, easing any remaining uncertainty over the player’s future.
Everton also remain without Jack Grealish, who is sidelined for several months after suffering a fracture. Despite the obvious need for attacking depth, many Everton News readers expressed doubts on TalkingPoints about the club’s links with Wesley.
Everton face decisive final days of the transfer window
With just four days remaining in the window, Everton still have time to complete signings, but it has been a notably quiet January so far for the Blues.
Everton News understands the club are determined to avoid panic purchases, instead prioritising long-term stability over short-term fixes. From a strategic standpoint, holding firm if the right players are unavailable may be sensible.
That said, supporters will naturally be eager to see fresh faces arrive before the deadline. As the clock continues to tick, it remains to be seen whether Everton will act — but one thing is certain: time is fast running out.
