In addition, they are also expected to make funds available for the January transfer window, with David Ornstein explaining that a couple of new faces are expected on Merseyside this month.
“The new ownership, The Friedkin Group, led by Dan and Ryan Friedkin, is making some money available, but they still have to adhere to the rules of profitability and sustainability. There’s still work to be done. I think we could see a few new faces coming in, certainly on the sidelines. attacks, maybe one for now and here ready to start, maybe one for the future.”
Now, reports are linking the Toffees with a move for free agent Willian, as well as a new striker, with Tom Cannon and Evan Ferguson among those being considered for a move to Goodison Park, and David Moyes is crying out for more firepower after the defeat against Aston Villa.
“I can definitely see that we’re lacking a level of quality that would give us opportunities or allow us to score more goals or score more goals, which is something we’d like to address if we can do that,” he explained after the game. But first, Everton could be forced to cut short one player’s stay at Goodison Park.
Everton terminated the loan of Broja
That comes in the form of on-loan Chelsea striker Armando Broja, who arrived injured and has picked up another serious problem that could see his loan spell cut short. The Albanian was signed for the 24/25 campaign on an initial loan with an option to buy, but injury meant he only made his debut in December and managed just 158 minutes in the Premier League.
It was former Everton coach Frank Lampard full of praise for the Albanian: “He is fast, strong, has a real eye for goal and is a very, very good young player.”
However, he didn’t get the chance to show it at Goodison Park, and now a new problem means he may never be able to.
Sprained in the FA Cup third round win over Peterborough United, he is now set for another extended absence, leaving Moyes to admit his loan could be cut short.
“We think he’ll be out for somewhere between 10-12 weeks. It’s his ankle ligaments. That will probably mean there’s a possibility he’ll have to go back to Chelsea.” the Everton boss revealed.

That timeframe would see him miss most of the rest of the season, but his return to Chelsea will open up more options this month for Everton. This is because they will be able to hire another first league player on loan in the midst of relationships with Evan Fergusonwhile they will also be free from Number of weekly wages of £40,000which could allow for some much-needed further investment elsewhere.
