SAD NEWS;Everton goalkeeper announces he’s leaving after six years at Goodison Park

Everton have seen another player officially parting ways with them ahead of the 2025/26 season.

In David Moyes’ and The Friedkin Group’s first summer transfer window, there is expected to be plenty of movement on Merseyside.

Not only will the Toffees be leaving Goodison Park for the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but players will also be parting ways with the club.

Zan-Luk Leban bids farewell to the Toffees

After six years with the Blues, goalkeeper Zan Luckleban will be parting ways with the Toffees ahead of the transfer window.

The 22-year-old moved to Everton as a teenager but failed to establish himself as a first-team player under multiple managers.

This season, in Premier League 2, he made five appearances and conceded 13 goals.

The Slovenian just managed to keep one clean sheet and a new deal was not forthcoming for him.

Via Instagram, he wrote: “Thank you Everton for the past 6 years. I enjoyed every moment of my time here. It has been a pleasure to be a part of such a massive club. I came as a kid and I am leaving as man. Thank you to everyone at the Club, coaches, teammates and all the staff behind the scenes. Once a blue always a blue.”

Everton need to improve their youth recruitment

Everton’s need to improve their youth recruitment is critical for long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the Premier League, especially given their financial constraints and recent inconsistencies at the senior level.

The departure of high-wage players like Abdoulaye Doucoure highlights the urgency to develop cost-effective talent pipelines, as reliance on expensive transfers is unsustainable under Financial Fair Play regulations.
