The latest Everton transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
Everton's window has been defined by a rarity in the modern game: a genuine swap. Brennan Johnson arrived from Crystal Palace with Dwight McNeil going the other way, both valued at £22m — a deal that swaps a fading contract for a winger entering his prime.
Around it, David Moyes has bought sensibly — Merlin Röhl, Tyrique George and Hayden Hackney for a combined £55m, Christian Nørgaard's experience for £6.8m — while Idrissa Gueye's departure leaves the midfield anchor role unfilled. That, and interest in a striker, is where the final fortnight's attention lies. Every new line of Everton transfer news lands on this page as it breaks.
