Everton Signs Alcaraz, Eyes Midfield Boost with Diomande Interest

Everton is entering a new chapter under manager David Moyes, focusing on strengthening their midfield following Abdoulaye Doucoure's departure. The club has confirmed the signing of Carlos Alcaraz and is targeting midfield reinforcements, including Rangers' Mohamed Diomande and Brighton's Matt O’Riley, both seen as key to Moyes' plans. Diomande, a promising 23-year-old, has impressed at Rangers and is considered a viable replacement in midfield, while O’Riley, who left Celtic for Brighton in a record-setting transfer, faces competition from European clubs amid some uncertainty regarding his recent playing time. Everton is also interested in Manchester City youngster Jason McAtee and has midfield transfer rumors involving Burnley’s Josh Brownhill. The club’s transfer priorities this summer include strengthening right-back, right-wing, midfield, and striker positions before addressing other areas. Additionally, Everton may benefit financially from a sell-on clause linked to Amadou Onana’s previous transfer to Aston Villa.
