Everton Makes First Contact in Race to Sign Ex-Arsenal Defender
Everton has reportedly made its first contact in the race to sign a former Arsenal defender this summer. The Toffees are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, and the potential signing could add quality to their defense.
Bouncing Back from Defeat
After suffering back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea, Everton will be looking to bounce back from defeat when they face Ipswich Town at Goodison Park this Saturday. Manager David Moyes will be hoping his team can show some quality and creativity in their play, particularly in the attacking third.
Moyes’ Reaction
After the defeat against Chelsea, Moyes said, “We were perhaps fortunate to only be 1-0 down at half-time, but we stuck at it and grew into the game and played very well in the second half. We were just lacking quality to get a finish on the end of some of our play.” The substitutes made a big difference, and Moyes will be looking for similar performances from his team this weekend.
New Era at Everton
The match against Ipswich Town will be significant for Everton, as they prepare to enter a new era at the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium. The club’s new owners, Friedkin, have reportedly set their sights on their first summer signing, and the potential signing of the ex-Arsenal defender could be a key part of their plans.
Conclusion
Everton’s potential signing of the ex-Arsenal defender is an exciting development for fans. If the deal goes through, it could add quality and experience to the team’s defense. As the club prepares for a new era, the focus will be on building a strong squad and competing for a top-half finish in the Premier League.
