Everton Manager Moyes Says Club Needs Six to Ten New Signings

Everton manager David Moyes has stated that the club needs to sign between five to ten new players during the current transfer window to strengthen a squad weakened by the departure of key players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure. So far, Everton have completed three signings: striker Thierno Barry, goalkeeper Mark Travers, and midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, with an offer made for Bayern Munich's young left-back Adam Aznou. Moyes described this transfer period as the busiest he has ever experienced, emphasizing the urgency after a poor pre-season including a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, exacerbated by injuries to key defenders. The manager expressed optimism about the support from new owners The Friedkin Group to secure quality players who are committed to the club, aiming to restore Everton to higher competitive levels, including European football qualification. Despite ongoing challenges, Moyes is focused on rebuilding the squad significantly before the Premier League season begins, with the transfer window closing on September 1. These efforts mark a pivotal moment for Everton as they prepare to play their first season at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium under new ownership.
