Everton Hub
Everton are closing in on a new signing this summer, with a deal agreed for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney. The Toffees have been chasing the 24-year-old for some time already this summer.
What's the Deal?
According to Ben Jacobs, Everton have struck a deal with Championship side Middlesbrough over a move for Hackney, with a fee in the region of £25 million settled upon.
Why it Matters for Everton
The move for Hackney will now help reinforce the midfield for Everton, which was creaking at times last season with plenty of injuries afflicting the position.

The midfielder was a regular at under-21s level for England, while his progression in senior football has seen him crowned as the Championship Player of the Year for the most recent campaign.
What Comes Next?
Now, attention can shift elsewhere, with the Toffees looking to add some more firepower in the forward ranks to score a few more goals in important matches. Jarrod Bowen has been linked with Everton for a potential reunion with David Moyes, following West Ham's recent relegation.
As of 30 Jun 2026, Everton are looking to build on their current form, with a recent record of 0W-2D-3L in their last 5 games, and a goal difference of -3 from 47 scored and 50 conceded.
