Teamtalk saying Tyrique George from Chelsea is also on the list along with Fatawu and Hutchinson.

Although seemingly George was also linked to Roma a few days ago so maybe there is some crossed wires there.

Hearing Leicester City Winger Abdul Fatawu is on Everton’s list of targets
Honestly never heard of this guy so went and had a look at his stats...

2 years ago at the age of 19 he put up 19 goal involvements in the championship (6 goals / 13 assists).

Only played 11 games last season with 2 assists but I think someone said he'd had a bad injury... Also I wouldn't really judge anyone playing in that team last season, especially under RVN who must go down as one of the worst managers in the premier league's history.

Based on that and his likely affordable value I'd be all in on this one. Still only 21, left footed which we seem to be targeting, experience of playing in England... Ticks a lot of boxes.

I do like Fatawu but there is some risk both long term and short term performance wise.

Coming off a bad injury, has made a handful of starts in the prem last season so not sure he can make the step up.

That being said, he had a great year in the Championship in 23/24, very young, great pace and plays RW.

No idea the price but would think they'd want decent money for him. Cheaper than Dibling though so maybe leaves us more room to bring in a RB and DM needed.

Tyrique George is interesting.

Hasn’t played enough first team football to make a proper judgment but at this point, I just assume everything off of Chelsea’s academy winger conveyor belt is quality.

Might get a better price jumping in now rather than letting a successful loan balloon his price.

He's looked great the few times I've watched him. It would be an exciting one IMO.

This guy mentioned both Grealish and KDH at the end of last season to be fair, so let's continue to entertain him

Never heard about this Fatawu until now but can't deny, I like it.

Grealish and a RW in before Leeds would be amazing

So it looks like after RW Moyes still wants a RB, CM and CF going by the links and obvious squad shortages. If we get all that we should have a fun season ahead.

It's been, what? Four years since we've gone into a season with actual optimism. It feels great, after we've had a torrid few years of doom and gloom.

George is a right footed left winger though isn't he? At least that's what it says on TransferMarkt.

Grealish definitely makes us more appealing for the players we're after.

Well, that’s no good.

I’d be fine with a right footed right winger, mind you.

Weirdly, I went to this game. He was really good, was a stunning goal.

Keep shifting everyone around, you could George on the left (although seems like he can play right too), Grealish middle and Ndiaye on the right...then just have them interchange.

He seems pretty good with both feet and I'd trust most players coming out of Chelsea's academy more than most.
