Everton have enjoyed a solid summer window thus far, even if deadline day has not ended up being as triumphant as it first seemed set to be.
After all, they have bolstered their backline, the midfield, out wide and up front, and with that in mind, fans can have few complaints.
That being said, the lack of additional support on the wings and at full-back are justifiable criticisms that seem set to persist.
Fortunately, a solution could now emerge to fix the former problem.
Everton plotting late deadline day move for Reiss Nelson
Just when Everton’s deadline day threatened to fizzle out, transfer journalist Graeme Bailey has emerged to exclusively offer Everton.News an update on a brand-new target for the Toffees.
After all, they need some kind of solution before the window shuts to their winger problem, and that is exactly what this revered reporter has sought to offer.
His offering is only a short one, but hugely important, as he told us: ‘Everton are one of the clubs in for Reiss Nelson.
‘I think it is Ipswich, Palace and West Ham in for him too… but needs Sterling to come in, which looks likely.
This comes after Everton’s move for Ernest Nuamah was hijacked by Fulham.
Would Reiss Nelson be a good signing for Everton?
If they could convince Nelson to join Everton, providing Arsenal with a minimal fee and offering the winger short wages, then this definitely would be a deal worth doing for Thelwell.
After all, reinforcements in this area will always be welcome, especially with a varied skillset.
Although he has not been trusted with regular starts for the Gunners, when called upon, the 24-year-old has acted with professionalism and proficiency.
Last season saw his chances particularly limited, but during the 2022/23 season, he thrived emerging from the bench.
Three goals and two assists from 11 substitute appearances marked a fine return, as he showcased remarkable poise in possession to come up with some hugely clutch moments.
Alex Iwobi, a former teammate of his and previously of the Toffees, reacted to this vein of form: ‘“I think before we played them and he wasn’t even playing, he was just chilling, and I have to respect that, every time he’s come on to play he’s delivered, I think he’s been the most impactful sub this season, so I have to give it to him.
‘For someone to be able to do that and not be playing regularly, to have that elite mindset to know that you’re going into a game and I’m going to do my thing and make sure I help the team win, I have to rate it.
