Everton Posts Record £97M Net Summer Spend Amid Turnaround

Everton has undergone a remarkable turnaround this season under manager David Moyes, climbing from just above the relegation zone to fifth place in the Premier League. The club made a record-breaking summer investment, signing nine new players for a net spend of £97 million—the highest in Everton’s Premier League history—following the departure of nine senior players. This spending spree was supported by the Friedkin Group’s takeover, which restructured Everton’s debts into equity and improved financial stability, alongside increased revenue prospects from the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Key new signings like Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have made significant impacts, with the team outperforming expected points based on chance quality. Meanwhile, Everton’s strong start to the season is highlighted by standout performances, including Ornella Vignola’s historic hat trick and defender Martina Fernandez’s continued excellence. This strategic overhaul reflects Everton’s ambition to establish themselves as a competitive force in the Premier League.
