Season › 2024-25 › News Tom Fellows… Future Everton Star? The Rumour Mill 17/03/2025 9comments | Jump to last The relentless Rumour Mill continues to churn away despite the opening of the transfer window still months away. One name that seems to crop up persistently is West Bromwich Albion winger Tom Fellows. According to journalist Alan Nixon, Everton have ‘kept up’ their interest in the Championship star. Fellows, 20, has impressed in the Championship this season. His pace, dribbling ability, and attacking instinct make him a promising prospect. Reports suggest he is open to a move to the Premier League, especially if West Brom fail to secure promotion. The Baggies currently hold sixth place, but the play-off race remains wide open, with Bristol City and Middlesbrough in close pursuit. If West Brom miss out, Fellows could be available for a reasonable fee. Fellows is still in the early stages of his development. However, his ability to take on defenders, his direct style of play, and his positional versatility suggest he could transition well into Moyes’ system. Everton’s struggles in wide areas have been evident this season, and adding a player like Fellows, who is eager to prove himself, could provide the team with a valuable option. Everton’s scouting department will apparently continue to monitor Fellows for the rest of the campaign, assessing his performances and progress. While there is no indication of a formal bid yet, interest in the player is believed by some observers to be strong. While some may argue that Fellows is unproven at the Premier League level, he could be the type of signing that pays off in the long term. A relatively low-cost, investment in a player eager to prove himself on the biggest stage, in a team revitalised by the astute management of David Moyes, moving into a fantastic new stadium at the start of next season.

Disclaimer () Si Pulford 1 Posted 17/03/2025 at 07:59:52 Hes the type of player Id like us to be looking at. His form has dipped since the new year but that may be a blessing in disguise in terms of a reasonable sum. Signing players from the championship used to be tried and tested but you can now buy full Internationals from other leagues around Europe for less than some of the feed the better championship (especially English) command. At 20 hes perfect for me. John Raftery 2 Posted 17/03/2025 at 09:19:52 I am very impressed by another player currently playing in the Championship. His name is Harrison Armstrong. He was Man of the Match last week and followed that with a cracking goal at Plymouth on Saturday. Mike Price 3 Posted 17/03/2025 at 09:45:17 He's a decent player but doesn't have pace.We need fast players; that has to be a prerequisite. Danny O'Neill 4 Posted 17/03/2025 at 09:54:53 I don't know enough about the player to judge.I agree with John. Armstrong impressed me in the few cameos we saw of him. Hopefully the loan will have benefited him and he can rejoin the Everton first team squad for next season. I'd like to see Dixon there too. Robert Tressell 5 Posted 17/03/2025 at 10:32:37 Mike, I agree we need pace.Mixed reports about Fellows having pace - and I can't comment particularly. He does have excellent assist stats in a very strong league - and will be pretty cheap too by all accounts (under £20m). But if he really is lacking in pace he'll struggle to have an impact in the Premier League (as per Harrison). As for Armstrong and Dixon, they need games. No point keeping them in the squad next season to play fewer than, say, 5 games (which might be 10 minutes here or there or cup games against crap opposition).Much better for them to be on loan in the Championship or Eredivisie etc playing 38 or more games. Sam Hoare 6 Posted 17/03/2025 at 10:47:16 Fellows would seem like quite a Moyes-esque player. Talented for sure and with room to improve still but perhaps unlikely to reach the very top levels. He has a little pace from what I've seen but not the searing kind that forces defenses back… more McNeil than Bowen. Unlike McNeil, he looks to be pretty ambidextrous which is useful and though mainly a right winger can do it on the left too which is useful.I'd hope we might aim a little higher (Nuamah for example has higher potential in my opinion) but for around £15M Fellows's versatility and experience in English football could make him appealing to Moyes. Though I really hope it won't be Moyes who's in charge of all transfer decisions. Seeing how limited West Ham were this weekend after some serious spending under Moyes was not a great advert for his recent recruitment credentials. Danny O'Neill 7 Posted 17/03/2025 at 13:23:09 Good post Sam although the experience in English football doesn't bother me. It's not important in my view. For some it doesn't work out either football wise or struggling to settle, but that could be said about any transfer. The plenty of examples of players coming from abroad who have been a success, as much as those who haven't been.Look at the Swedish lad for Newcastle. Tony Abrahams 8 Posted 17/03/2025 at 14:23:34 Moyes doesnt fill me with great confidence with regards signing players either Sam, but surely we have got to give the man a chance 🤷♂️Bowen was always a player worth taking a punt on so maybe Fellows, is another? The player who really impressed me on Saturday was the number 14 - Kudos, another player who was heavily linked with Everton, after we ran out of money! Ian Bennett 9 Posted 17/03/2025 at 14:29:55 No one really knows who was buying players at West ham. Was it the board, director of football or Moyes. Just as much of a mess as ours.Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta and Bowen were good signings, but it looks like they all had a go at spending the Rice money...
