Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Everton have been offered free agent Willian 16/01/2025 9comments | Jump to last Everton are reported to be one of the clubs who have been offered former Chelsea star Willian, who is now a free agent. Willian left Greek club Olympiacos after only 6 months, meaning he can sign for a club as a free transfer this month. It is understood the Brazilian has been offered to more than one Premier League club, one of which is Everton. The Telegraph reports that Everton are understood to have shown an interest in the 36-year-old winger, but also have other targets and are yet to make it clear whether they will make a move. Matt Law claims that Willian would be able to make an instant impact for manager David Moyes’s team, who are in desperate need of forward players who can score goals, having already played in the Premier League for Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham. Article continues below video content Fulham captain Tom Cairney this month described Willian as the best player he has ever played with, saying: “Willian, it’s not even close. I think football brain, out of this world. “In my opinion, I don’t think he gets the recognition he deserves in the Premier League. I think he was one of the best players in the Premier League for four or five years, but because he played in the same team as Eden Hazard, who kind of took a lot of the limelight – and rightly so, he was the best player – but I thought Willian was special, very special.” Moyes has made it clear that he would like new players this month and, with a limited budget, Willian could be attractive to Everton. Everton are also likely to be in the market for a striker after Moyes revealed on-loan Armando Broja could be out with an ankle injury for up to 12 weeks and may return to Chelsea. Moyes is said to be a fan of Chelsea pair Carney Chukwuemeka and Ben Chilwell, who could both leave Stamford Bridge on loan this month, but he would need to free up space to make another domestic loan by releasing either Broja or Jack Harrison.

Sean Kearns 3 Posted 16/01/2025 at 13:24:02 Get him in!!! He shits on Doucoure Jack Convery 4 Posted 16/01/2025 at 14:58:04 He is quality and the Moyesiah want s quality. His wage demands will settle if we go for him. Another free agent is Enis Bardhi, an Albanian International and Captain. His stats look good. Does anyone know anything more about him. he's just left Trabzonspor In Turkey.Several Spanish clubs after him. Craig Walker 5 Posted 16/01/2025 at 15:29:42 He is old and normally I would say, "no, thanks", but Willian at Fulham was infinitely better than Harrison or Lindstrom. Mind you, that is a very low bar. Colin Glassar 6 Posted 16/01/2025 at 15:41:28 So back to shopping at Netto? TFG promise Aberdeen Angus and we get a piece of gristle. Joe McMahon 7 Posted 16/01/2025 at 15:51:43 FFS, 36.Talent is out there, check this goal, Yeovil!https://x.com/Football__Tweet/status/1879811578914013480I'm not saying let's get him, but players out there in all divisions, who would have scored the DCL chances that are regularly being missed. Goals has to be priority, surely. Derek Knox 8 Posted 16/01/2025 at 16:07:09 Sean @ 3, the Tea-Lady shits on Doucoure, but she never gets picked ! :-)Free Transfer sounds okay in the desperate situation we are in, he's a youngster compared to Young. Steve Hopkins 9 Posted 16/01/2025 at 16:41:08 Get him in without hesitation, the guy knows what a football is and what to do with it unlike some in the team at the moment Add Your Comments In order to post a comment, you need to be logged in as a registered user of the site. » Log in now Or Sign up as a ToffeeWeb Member — it's free, takes just a few minutes and will allow you to post your comments on articles and Talking Points submissions across the site.
