Sport report that Everton are still in the race for Barcelona right‑back Héctor Fort, despite growing competition and “very intense contact” from other clubs. Barca want €15–20m and interest is piling up, but Everton’s stance hasn’t changed, they’re still there.

A day late with this one 😭

BUT I was at the game, so no chance to post instantly like usual, and it felt wrong to skip it after covering every other pre‑season match.

Brennan Johnson to Everton? It could actually make sense.

I’ve compared both players to analyse why this swap could be a smart move for the Toffees. Full analysis below 👇️

A deep dive into the data shows what Everton are getting — and how a swap for McNeil represents evolution rather than a like‑for‑like replacement.

Everton need a genuine upgrade at right‑back this summer — not a convenient stop‑gap. Aaron Wan‑Bissaka is back on the agenda, but the data across three major datasets shows he isn’t the transformative option the club needs. He’s different to Jake O’Brien, but not significantly better.
