Everton fans are growing increasingly frustrated as the Friedkin Group's spending spree at Roma overshadows the club's own transfer activity. While the Toffees have spent just over £55m this summer, Roma are reportedly close to signing West Ham's Crysencio Summerville for £42m, which would take their summer outlay to £70m. League standing: 9th in Premier League, 0 pts. Goals this season: 0 scored, 0 conceded (0 goal difference). Next fixture: vs Sunderland (away, 2027-02-20).
What's happening with Everton's transfers?
Everton have made three signings so far this summer: Tyrique George, Hayden Hackney, and Merlin Rohl. However, two of these players were already at the club on loan last season and failed to make a significant impact. The Toffees' lack of ambition was evident last season when they failed to make any permanent signings in January despite qualifying for European football under David Moyes.
Why are Everton fans unhappy?
The Friedkin Group's priority seems clear as they sanction a £42m deal for Summerville at Roma, almost matching their entire spend at Everton. With fewer financial regulations in Italian football, Roma can spend freely while Everton face stricter Premier League rules. Fans are concerned about the lack of ambition and investment in their own club.
What does this mean for Everton's future?
With the summer transfer window still open, Everton need to make significant signings to compete in the Premier League. The Friedkin Group must prioritize Everton's needs and invest more in the squad. The Toffees currently sit 9th in the Premier League with 0 points, having scored 0 goals and conceded 0 in the new season. Their next fixture is away at Sunderland on 20th February 2027, who are 19th in the table.
What's next for Everton?
Everton fans will be hoping for a change in priority from the Friedkin Group. The club needs to make more signings to strengthen the squad and compete in the Premier League. The summer transfer window is still open, and there is time for the Toffees to make significant moves. However, the lack of investment so far is a cause for concern among supporters.
