Nathan Patterson set to become the next Scot playing in Serie A

Per Fabrizio Romano, Everton right-back Nathan Patterson is set to join Torino on a permanent deal. Patterson came through the Rangers academy, breaking into the first team during the league winning campaign of 2020/21. He’d then join Everton in January 2022 in a deal believed to be worth over £10,000,000. The Scotsman has struggled with injuries during his four-and-a-half years at Everton, only making 68 appearances for the club in that time span. The 24-year-old has been capped 29 times so far for Scotland and played in all three of this summer’s World Cup games, starting the latter two against Morocco and Brazil. A big talking point of Everton’s transfer window has been the hunt for a right-back following Seamus Coleman’s departure, but it seems they’re about to let another one go as Patterson heads to Turin to join Ché Adams. Should the move go through, he will become the eighth member of the Scotland National Team plying their trade in Italy.

Premier League transfer merry-go-round as winger dictates moves across the country and out-of-favour Chelsea trio set to depart

It is understood that Mykhailo Mudryk is set to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan, with Tosin Adarabioyo set to make the same move permanently. Robert Sanchez is also Como bound, per Fabrizio Romano. Iliman Ndiaye also looks to be on the way from Everton to Manchester City, which could dictate transfers elsewhere in the league. Mudryk, who cost Chelsea £89,000,000, has not played for the club since November 2024 as the Ukranian tested positive for doping and was handed a 4-year-ban, losing his #10 shirt to Cole Palmer in the process. The ban was overturned in July after his appeal ruled he did NOT dope. It however seems he’s not in Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea plans as he’s yet to play a competitive match since his return with Alonso’s front three of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro appearing nailed down. The winger was previously linked with a loan move to Leeds United, but it now seems his destination will be across London with Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur. It’s been a busy window for Spurs, who initially looked to add Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye to their wide options, but it’s said that Manchester City have hijacked the move with their deal to bring Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo seemingly falling through, thus forcing Tottenham’s hand to offer Mudryk more game time during his comeback season. A move for Ndiaye could cause a transfer domino effect in the Premier League. It was rumoured that Richarlison would become a bargaining chip in the deal should Ndiaye have moved to Spurs, with the Brazilian being keen to return to Merseyside. Despite not wanting to be used in a swap deal, he said: “After everything I’ve been through in the last few years, I’ve decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me. “If they reach an agreement between Spurs and Everton, I will return to my beloved club. “My intention was to go back to the place where I was very happy, yes, but the negotiations happened only in the way certain people wanted, and it will no longer be like that. “Despite all this turmoil, I am under contract at Spurs and will remain at the club’s disposal.” Prior to the transfer hijacking, Manchester City were previously linked with Ndiaye as Jack Grealish was rumoured to go the other way after impressing at Everton before injury last season. Whilst he’s not said to be involved in this deal as Enzo Maresca’s side are rumoured to pay a £65,000,000 fee for the winger. It’s also understood Everon have begun pushing to bring Grealish back to the club in a separate deal. Ndiaye’s move to Manchester now comes after their proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo collapsed. The Dutchman was set to join Manchester City, but rumours suggest Liverpool failed to agree fees for Brighton’s Yakuba Minteh and Crystal Palace’s Ismailia Sarr, leading to them opting to hold on to Gakpo. Liverpool announced the signing of Bradley Barcola from PSG in a £123,000,000 deal yesterday, but would look for their third winger of the summer should Gakpo leave. Tosin Adarabioyo has also been out-of-favour in West London as Xabi Alonso looks to trim an incredibly bloated squad. Roberto De Zerbi revealed that centre-back Kevin Danso has asked to leave the club, so it is expected that Adarabioyo could be the replacement that allows Danso to move on. The Englishman is a product of Manchester City’s academy and moved across West London from Fulham to Chelsea two years ago. Finally, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is looking set to join Cesc Fabregas’ Como side on loan following the signing of Emiliano Martinez. Sanchez was slammed for his performance during Chelsea’s 3-2 win away to Fulham on opening day, forcing the club to move for the World Cup winning goalkeeper. Martinez made his debut on Sunday as Chelsea defeated Brighton 4-3 at Stamford Bridge, with Sanchez being left out of the squad. If any of these deals are set to happen, the clubs involved will need to act fast as the English transfer window closes at 11pm tonight.

Everything you need to know about the 2026/27 Premier League season

Arsenal regained their Premier League crown last season, but after a World Cup and a hectic summer which has saw nine new managers in the dugout this season, it’s bound to be another crazy season in England. Coventry, Hull and Ipswich have all returned to the division, two of which winning on opening day. With the first round of the Premier League in, here’s what to expect from every team this season. Arsenal: Mikel Arteta’s side became the first Arsenal team to win the league since the 03/04 Invincibles last season, and it only felt a matter of time after multiple 2nd place finishes. The Champions League finalists look in a good position to do it again, not only due to the squad Arteta has spent years building, or how hard they are to beat, but also thanks to the masses of change around them. Like mentioned, Arteta has spent years building a squad with depth only bested by Guardiola’s Manchester City team, which means Arsenal have been able to have a quieter window. That being said, the business they have done looks to be extremely smart, you can see where every player fits in. Players in: Bruno Guimaraes, Illian Meslier, Christos Tzolis, Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapie (loan made permanent). Players out: Leandro Trossard, Christian Norgaard, Karl Hein, Jakub Kiwior (loan made permanent). What to expect: Champions Aston Villa: When Unai Emery took over at Aston Villa, they looked like they were bound for the Championship, but the Spaniard has transformed them into European regulars in a matter of years. Villa are now preparing for their second Champions League under Emery after he won his fifth Europa League last season. They’ll be without their star man Morgan Rogers after his big money move to Chelsea, Youri Tielemans could be a massive loss too. It looks like Emi Martinez will stay after all after another summer linked away. If the UEFA Super Cup against PSG is anything to go by, it looks like Villa could promote their youth this season, especially given the amount of big names that have left Villa Park this window. Players in: Johan Manzambi, Joao Gomes, Modu Keba Cisse, Zion Suzuki, Matteo Ruggeri, Alejandro Garnacho (loan), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (loan). Players out: Morgan Rogers, Donyell Malen, Youri Tielemans, Lewis Dobbin, Lucas Dinge, Enzo Barrenechea, Ezri Konsa, Samuel Illing-Junior (loan), Andres Garcia (loan), Joe Gauci (loan), Oliwer Zych (loan), Kosta Nedeljkovic (loan). What to expect: European places Bournemouth: Marco Rose has replaced Andoni Iraola in the Bournemouth dugout this season as the club prepare for their first-ever season of European football. Bournemouth are always hard ones to predict, but this year even more so with a new manager, a quantity of unproven signings and balancing playing twice, especially in a squad that doesn’t look to have too much depth. Players in: Alvaro Rodriguez, Antonio Silva, Juanalu Sanchez. Players out: Hamed Traore, Luis Sinisterra, Marcos Senesi, Enes Unal, Alex Jiminez (loan), Alex Paulsen (loan). What to expect: Bottom-half Brentford: Brentford so narrowly missed out on European football last season following a breakout year for manager Keith Andrews. From Ollie Watkins to Ivan Toney to Bryan Mbueno and Yoanne Wissa to Igor Thiago, they always have someone who knows where the net is. They’re always a hard team to predict and always seem to exceed expectations, so watch out for Brentford again. Players in: Mamadou Sangare, Jannik Schuster, Jaiden Anthony, Callum Wilson. Players out: Frank Onyeka, Jordan Henderson, Ryan Trevitt (loan), Yunus Konnak (loan), Romelle Donovan (loan), Matthew Cox (loan). What to expect: Top-half Brighton: Hearts stole the headlines last year, but Brighton have shown what Jamestown Analytics have been able to do for years. They’re in the Conference League Play-Offs this season, so could be balancing twice a week football too. It’s been a busy window for both ins and outs for the Premier League’s youngest ever permanent manager. Players in: Luka Vuskovic, Zadok Yohanna, Pascal Struijk, Costinha, Michael Svoboda, Rodrigo Rego, Promise David (loan). Players out: Jan Paul Van Hecke, Carl Rushworth, Diego Coppola, Danny Welbeck, Jeremy Sarmiento, Joel Veltman, James Milner (retired), Adam Webster, Solly March, Facundo Bounnanotte (loan), Tommy Watson (loan), James Beadle (loan), Rodrigo Rego (loan), Do Young-Yoon (loan). What to expect: European contenders Chelsea The post-Roman Abramovic era in West London can be summed up by one word, instability. Chelsea are preparing for yet another season under a new manager, but Xabi Alonso seems like one Chelsea fans can be really excited about. Of course, it didn’t work out for Alonso in Madrid, but his 2023/24 season with Leverkusen shows what the footballing legend is capable of. They’ve tried it all at Stamford Bridge, from the stability of Mauricio Pochettino to the exciting new managers such as Graham Potter, Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior, but something about Alonso feels different. If he hits the ground running and is given time, the good times could be coming back to Chelsea soon. Of course, it’s been a busy transfer window at Chelsea, but Morgan Rogers has been one of the Premier League’s best players in recent years and should be suited to Alonso’s system. Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson don’t jump off the page at anyone, but the experience they’ll bring to such a young squad can only be a good thing. Players in: Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palesta, Goevanny Quenda, Valentin Barco, Emmanuel Emeghma, Pep Chavarria, Denner, Danny Welbeck, Dastan Satpaev, Jordan Henderson. Players out: Andrey Santos, Marc Cucurella, Trevor Chalobah, Tyrique George, Omari Kellyman, Dastan Satpaev (loan), Alejandro Garnacho (loan), Filip Jorgensen (loan), Benoit Badiashile (loan). What to expect: Champions League places Coventry City: Coventry return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years this season, and after winning the Championship last season, certainly look the pick of the bunch from the promoted sides. One of the main questions surrounding Coventry going into this season will be whether Frank Lampard can keep up tactically in the Premier League as weak points have been pointed out in his previous sides.

Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil Complete Swap Move Between Everton and Crystal Palace

Premier League sides Everton and Crystal Palace have completed a rare player swap deal between wide midfielders Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil. Johnson leaves Selhurst Park for Merseyside after only signing this calendar year, whilst McNeil finally joins the Conference League holders after seeing a loan-to-buy move fall through in the dying hours of the same transfer window. McNeil joined Everton under Frank Lampard from Burnley in 2022, and scored 15 times in 128 games. Welsh international Johnson joined Crystal Palace as the club’s record signing just seven months ago, and won the UEFA Europa Conference League a year with them, one year after scoring the winner in the Europa League final for Tottenham Hotspur. He becomes David Moyes’ fifth signing of the summer, after Merlin Roll, Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Christian Norgaard. Whilst McNeil is new Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage’s third signing, after Oscar Mingueza and Takehiro Tomiyasu, with the South London club yet to sign a player for a fee this window. Both sides start their Premier League campaigns against each other at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on August 22nd with both players in line to make their debuts.

Seamus Coleman to Leave Everton After 17 Years

Everton captain Seamus Coleman will leave the club at the end of this season after 17 years in Merseyside. The 37-year-old signed in 2009 from Sligo Rovers for £60,000, and has went on to play more times in the Premier League than any other Everton player in history. The Irishman has been offered a deal to stay on as part of David Moyes coaching staff, but will weigh up his options in the summer. He told Everton’s official website: “After more than 17 years at this great football club, I’ve decided this season will be my last as a player here. “I want to thank the fans for their unbelievable support. You’ve helped me in more ways than you could imagine. I’ve always tried my best to put Everton Football Club first and you all mean the world to me. I live in the city – I see you all daily – and I’ve taken your love of the Football Club back into the dressing room to explain to the lads how much Everton means to the people. “I also thank my managers, teammates and all the staff at Everton. They’ve seen me happy, sad, angry, emotional, but the greater cause has always been Everton Football Club. Thank you for making me a better captain and teammate. It’s an incredible football club with incredible people. “Obviously, after such a big decision, I want to have some time over the summer to focus on what’s next for me and my family. My love for Everton is something you all know about – and I’ve got a huge love for Ireland as well. “The Club have been unbelievable with me. They’ve offered me an opportunity to stay on at the Football Club. The manager and staff have been great, and I think with it being such an important decision over my future, I’m going to take a nice, long holiday and look back on what has been an amazing time as an Everton footballer.” Manager David Moyes signed Coleman in his first stint as Toffees manager, and the Scotsman spoke very highly of the man who has made 433 total appearances for Everton so far. Moyes also told the website: “It’s virtually impossible to put into words what I think of Seamus Coleman and the impact he’s had at this Club. “To represent Everton at the highest level for 17 years is a remarkable achievement and, speaking as his manager over two spells, it has been a genuine privilege to watch him grow as a player, a leader, and a man. “I know it’s going to be incredibly difficult to replace the characteristics Seamus brings to this Club. His influence behind the scenes is hard to measure and explain. He’s hugely respected by everyone, and we will miss his presence, on and off the pitch. “He deserves to have a special place in the Club’s history, but also in the hearts of every Evertonian because he embodies everything this Club stands for every time he pulls on the shirt. “I must also give huge credit to the people who were instrumental in bringing Seamus here in the first place. “To sign a player for £60,000 from Ireland, and to see him go on to make well over 400 appearances in the first-team, demonstrates just how important good recruitment is. “We wish Seamus all the very best in whatever he decides to do next, and he knows there will always be a place here for him if he chooses to return in the future.” Coleman’s farewell to the Evertonians could come in their final home clash of the season this Sunday to Sunderland, with a potential final ever appearance possibly coming away to Tottenham Hotspur the week after.

Everton 1-2 Bournemouth: Toffees Horrible Home Form Drags On

Bournemouth defeated Everton 2-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, making it six games since the Toffees last tasted victory at their new home. Iliman Ndiaye scored his first goal for the hosts since returning from winning AFCON with Senegal, converting a late first-half penalty which was cancelled out by a three minute second period salvo from Rayan and Amine Adil to see all the points travel back to the South-coast. Everton’s misery was compiled when Jake O’Brien was dismissed shortly after falling behind, making a comeback less probable. Bournemouth are now level on points with David Moyes’ side, and have only suffered league defeat in 2026 at the hands of league leaders Arsenal. Thierno Barry, who has enjoyed an upturn in form since scoring his first for Everton in their last win on home turf, should have netted his sixth of the campaign on the half hour mark with his rebound from James Garner’s saved free-kick. Alas, the Frenchman fired wide from close range. Everton found a breakthrough with three minutes of the half remaining courtesy of a spot-kick. Jarrad Branthwaite was fouled by eventually goalscorer Rayan, and Ndiaye’s penalty nestled into Djordje Petrovic’s bottom-left corner. However, a torrid ten minutes for the Blues flipped the game on its head. Just after the hour, left-back Adrien Truffert wicked right foot cross was met by Rayan at the far post, with the 19-year-old’s header turning him from zero to hero. The Brazilian has two goals and one assist in three games since making the switch in January from Vasco de Gama. And just over 200 seconds later, another header put Bournemouth in the driving seat. A deep free-kick was nodded across the six-yard box by James Hill and headed goal bound by Moroccan Amine Adil, giving the Cherries lead in a swift turnaround. Things went from bad to worse for Everton when defender Jake O’Brien seen red for a last man challenge on Adil just moments after he put his side in front. The Irishman will miss his side’s next fixture at home to Manchester United in just under two weeks, having not won in front of their own fans in over two months since dispatching former gaffer Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest there in early December. Any dropped points from that match will see Bournemouth leapfrog them into 8th place, as they travel to West Ham, who coincidentally drew with Manchester United this evening, two days before. EVERTON: Pickford 5, Mykolenko (Keane 90+3) 4, Branthwaite 6, Tarkowski 5, O’Brien 2, Gueye 5, Garner 6, George 3 (Armstrong 2), Dewsbury-Hall 5, Ndiaye 6, Barry 3 (Beto 62′ 2) BOURNEMOUTH: Petrovic 5, Jimenez 6, Hill 8, Senesi 6, Truffert 7, Scott 6, Toth 4 (Knal 58′ 3), Rayan 6 (Smith 90+3), Christie 5 (Cook 80′ 1), Adil 8 (Brooks 80′ 1), Evanilson 4 (Kroupi 58′ 3)

Man Utd 0-1 Everton: Toffees Grab Priceless Victory Despite Bizarre Red Card

Manchester United 0-1 Everton Dewsbury-Hall (29′) Ten-man Everton secured their first victory at Old Trafford since 2013 after a stunning first-half strike by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, condemning Manchester United to a dismal defeat. The game started unusually, with Everton reduced to 10 men in the opening 15 minutes. Miscommunication in the box between Michael Keane and Idrissa Gueye allowed Bruno Fernandes to unleash a dangerous shot on goal. Gueye was furious at his teammate for not clearing the ball, and after storming towards him, he appeared to slap the defender. Referee Tony Harrington quickly reached for his red card; the Senegalese midfielder had to be ushered towards the tunnel by Jordan Pickford. The home crowd found amusement in the incident, but it gave David Moyes’ side an unnecessary setback. Despite the deficit, Everton struck first through Dewsbury-Hall. Joe Garner split the United midfield with a clever pass, allowing the midfielder to turn and drive past several red jerseys. After tussling his way to the edge of the box, he delivered a curling, right-foot strike past the helpless Senne Lammens to confirm an unlikely lead. The Red Devils knocked on the door for the entire second half, going close on several occasions. Bryan Mbuemo linked with Joshua Zirkzee on the hour mark, but Pickford parried his strike from the edge of the box. Mason Mount found Fernandes in the box after a clipped Matthijs De Ligt pass 10 minutes later, but the Man Utd captain blazed over with the outside of his right foot. Pickford produced an outstanding save in the 80th minute to maintain Everton’s slender lead. Luke Shaw stood up a cross for Zirkzee to attack in the six-yard box; his header looked destined to nestle in the bottom right corner, if not for Pickford’s outstretched hand. The visitors were defending valiantly, but Pickford’s experience as England’s number one goalkeeper paid dividends for the Merseyside team, who secured a clean sheet and three points. Victory for Moyes’ side moved them above rivals, Liverpool, into 11th spot, as they secured back-to-back victories in the league. Rubin Amorim’s side remains in 10th, and is now three games without a win. Manchester United: Lammens Yoro De Ligt Shaw Mazraoui (Mount 46′) Casemiro (Mainoo 58′) Fernandes Dorgu (Dalot 58′) Amad Mbeumo Zirkzee Everton: Pickford Garner Tarkowski Keane Mykolenko Coleman (O’Brien 10′) Gueye Ndiaye (Beto 81′) Dewsbury-Hall (Alcaraz 88′) Grealish (McNeil 87′) Barry (Iroegbunam 81′)

Sunderland 1-1 Everton: Points Shared after Stunning Solo Goal

Sunderland 1-1 Everton Xhaka (46′) Ndiaye (15′) Granit Xhaka’s early second-half strike earned Sunderland a draw against Everton, as Regis Le Bris’ side moved back into the Premier League top four. The visitors entered the game just four points above the relegation side, but enjoyed the better chances in the first period. Thierno Barry headed down Jordan Pickford’s long ball in the opening seconds, Joe Garner connected sweetly on the edge of the box, but the left-footed strike whistled wide. Everton took the lead in the 14th minute thanks to a tremendous solo from Iliman Ndiaye. The Senegalese attacker drifted in from the right, jinking past several Sunderland bodies, before curling past Robin Roefs. Jack Grealish almost doubled the lead six minutes later. After shifting the ball onto his right foot, his 20-yard strike cannoned off the post to the relief of the home faithful. Barry should have doubled Everton’s lead on the half-hour mark. Barry ghosted in to the back post to meet Grealish’s clever cross, but from 5 yards, the striker could only flash over. David Moyes would have been pleased with his side’s performance, but perhaps frustrated that they were unable to add to Ndiaye’s solo effort. Xhaka responded for Sunderland just seconds into the second half. The captain drilled a left-footed shot towards Pickford’s goal, which took a deflection off James Tarkowski and sailed high into the net. Everton suddenly looked on the ropes, and Pickford had to react quickly to tip Enzo Le Fee’s deflected strike away from the goal to keep the score level. The draw leaves Sunderland in the top four on 18 points, as they grow on their outstanding start after promotion to the Premier League. Everton sit 14th, and are without a win in their last three matches. Sunderland: Roefs, Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Mandava, Traore (Talbi 82′) Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee, Isidor (Brobbey 83′) Everton: Pickford, O’Brien (Iroegbunam 83′) Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall (Alcaraz 83′) Grealish, Barry (Beto 57′)
