What comes next?

Everton will be looking to make some key signings in the transfer window, with Bowen and Gabriel Jesus potential targets. The Toffees have been linked with Jesus, 29, and Arsenal have lowered their asking price to between £20m and £25m. As of June 25, 2026, Everton are looking to improve on their recent performances, including a 1-0 loss to Tottenham on May 24, 2026. Currently, J. Branthwaite, J. Grealish, and I. Gueye are sidelined, but the team is hopeful of getting them back soon.
