With only one victory to their name this season, Everton could need all the options they can get under Sean Dyche. At least one of those victories came against Brentford in their most recent Premier League game, which may indicate that they are about to turn a pivotal point in their campaign.
The goals of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is finally injury-free and returning to his best form and could help the Toffees maintain their top-flight position, have contributed to their improved record.
The return of a different player, one with whom Everton is apparently negotiating a challenging deal, might also benefit the attacker.
What recent Everton news is there?
Everton will focus on Luton Town in the Premier League after their triumph over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup, seeking to win three games in a row for the first time this season.
Off the field, conversations over Dele Alli’s future at Goodison Park have apparently already underway. Alli is reportedly getting closer to making a comeback after dealing with off-field difficulties and injuries.
For The Athletic, Patrick Boyland discussed the situation and stated: “Those discussions (with Spurs) are already under way but have not yet come to a conclusion.
“Everton’s defense, without a doubt, will be that this is a special circumstance and that playing is best for Dele. With a £10 million ($12.2 million) sum coming to Tottenham when he plays in 20 games, the agreement does not encourage that. He has 13 now.
He also has to get back into shape. Because he was working out well and was almost ready to play again, the preseason injury was devastating. Dyche will try to accommodate him, and Dele might wind up playing behind the striker instead of Abdoulaye Doucoure. But a lot has to happen first before we get there.
