Everton's signing of teenage full-back Adam Aznou on Tuesday was their fourth of the summer – but it is a transfer window that has so far underwhelmed for a squad desperately lacking in goals and creativity. Everton have scored just one goal in three public pre-season matches so far and that was from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley. Moyes has made his frustration with a quiet summer clear in recent days, saying that "time is running out" for the club to rebuild following the departure of 10 senior players since the end of last season, including key figures in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Everton's signing of teenage full-back Adam Aznou on Tuesday was their fourth of the summer – but it is a transfer window that has so far underwhelmed for a squad desperately lacking in goals and creativity.
Everton have scored just one goal in three public pre-season matches so far and that was from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley.
They have also lost 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers and 3-0 to Bournemouth, with West Ham, David Moyes' former employers, next to come in Chicago later tonight.
Moyes has made his frustration with a quiet summer clear in recent days, saying that "time is running out" for the club to rebuild following the departure of 10 senior players since the end of last season, including key figures in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Along with Aznou, Everton have signed a back-up goalkeeper in Mark Travers, raw Villarreal striker Thierno Barry and attacking midfielder Carlos Alcaraz – who was effectively part of the existing squad already having joined on loan from Flamengo in January.
Everton have been linked with Manchester City's Jack Grealish and they are in dire need of more attacking threat.
Only relegated Leicester City and Southampton scored fewer Premier League goals from open play than Everton's 25 in 2024-25, while the Toffees also ranked 17th for expected goals from open play – indicating that very few chances are being created.
