Everton's Transfer Window: David Moyes Admits Need for More Signings

Everton manager David Moyes has admitted that the team still needs several signings before the end of the transfer window. Moyes' side are set to kick off their 2026-27 Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace on August 22.

What Happened?

Moyes' side have been active in the summer transfer window, adding five new players, including Brennan Johnson, who joined in a straight swap deal with Crystal Palace for Dwight McNeil. However, Moyes is adamant that they need to add more players before the end of the window.

Why it Matters for Everton

Moyes told Sky Sports News, "We're still needing quite a few players to add to the squad. I'd like to do more if possible. We need to see how the remaining few weeks go." When asked which areas he wanted to strengthen, Moyes replied, "Well, I'm not going to tell you, but we're well aware of what's required, and we're working hard to try and make it happen."

What Comes Next?

Moyes added that he is pleased with the players that have been brought in, but acknowledged that it will take time for some of them to adapt to the Premier League. He said, "I think it'll take Hayden (Hackney) a little bit of time to adapt from the Championship to the Premier League, which quite often it does for players coming from the Championship."
