Everton bin don land for serious transfer wahala, and e no better when dem lose their best player. But now, word dey say dem don talk to dem about signing Anthony Martial, former Manchester United record-breaker wey don dey without club since June.
According to TEAMtalk, Everton na one of many Premier League sides wey dem don contact about Martial. But wetin dem hear from source close to Goodison Park? Dem don pour cold water on the whole matter, meaning say Martial no go dey Merseyside anytime soon.
Everton transfer window na disaster. Dem sell Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City for £65m, wey some people say small money. Then the deal wey dem think go bring Folarin Balogun no work, e collapse at the last minute. Dem also sell Beto to Fiorentina, and attempts to get Joshua Zirkzee on loan from Manchester United no work. So the only senior striker wey David Moyes get now na Thierno Barry.
Martial, wey be 30 years old now, don play for AEK Athens and Monterrey since e leave Manchester United in 2024. But e no do well for Mexico, e score only one goal for 20 matches. E don become free agent after dem release am from Monterrey by mutual consent for June.
Even though Everton need back-up striker badly, e look like dem no dey ready to gamble on Martial. Dem don talk to many clubs — Leeds United, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur — but Everton no dey among those wey dey ready to move.
