Everton ‘offer imminent’ as Premier League star ‘has head turned’ by potential move to Toffees

Everton have been linked with a move for the West Ham United star.

Everton are reportedly lining up an offer for David Moyes to reunite with one of his trusted lieutenants.

The Toffees are set for a busy summer transfer window, with 14 members of the current squad out of contract. Not all of them will remain on Merseyside as Everton prepare to move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and there will be a significant squad overhaul.

Midfield could be an area that Moyes looks to bolster, with Idrissa Gana Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure both seeing their respective deals expire next month. In addition, Lyon loanee Orel Mangala hasn’t played since January after suffering an ACL injury.

There have been suggestions that Moyes would like to bring Tomas Soucek to Everton. The Czech Republic international proved to be one of Moyes’ best signings when he was West Ham United manager.

Recruited from Slavia Prague in January 2019, Soucek quickly established himself as a key player and was part of the Hammers side that won the Europa Conference League in 2023 along with reaching the Europa League semi-finals and quarter-finals in 2022 and 2024 respectively.

Soucek has two years remaining on his current London Stadium deal. But it has been suggested that West Ham ‘will be presented with a dilemma’. Claret & Hugh claims that while Everton have yet to make a formal offer, Moyes will be keen to test West Ham’s resolve and that an offer is imminent. It’s also said that Soucek has ‘had his head turned’ by the potential of a four-year deal at the Blues, which will take him up to the age of 34.

What’s more, it’s reported that the East London side are open to offers for most of their squad and have potential Premier League profit and sustainability concerns looming.
