Everton to sign highly rated youngster Max Aarons?

-

  Everton have now joined the race to join the highly rated Norwich City defender Max Aarons. The canaries will demand a fee between £30m and £35, regardless of if they are promoted to the Premier League, they are currently sitting at the top of the Sky Bet Championship, by a fine margin.

FC Bayern Munich have also opened talks to sign the Norwich star which will provide heavy competition for Everton. Manchester United are also keeping tabs on Aarons but no talks have been opened to sign him. - (Fabrizio Romano)

If Everton do pull off the signing of the youngster, it is likely that he would be the Seamus Coleman replacement. Coleman has made 289 Premier League appearances, in that time he racked up 20 goals, 22 assists and 79 clean sheets, putting himself firmly onto the list of Everton legends, giving Max Aarons gargantuan boots to fill! Let's take a further look at why Max Aarons would be the perfect Seamus Coleman replacement.

The right back has made 117 appearances for Norwich City after breaking into the first team through the academy system. In this time he has scored 4 goals and racked up 11 assists. He is very good at passing and crossing from the right side, averaging 2.3 keypasses per game this season in the championship, compared to Seamus Coleman, this is much better as he averages 0.4 key passes per game. Aarons also averages 2 crosses per game compared to Colemans 0.4, these statistics show how much the english born right back does in attack compared to Coleman, making him more of a threat offensively.

Moving onto defence, despite being a high quality attacking full back, Aarons is also a fantastic defender, especially in 1vs1 situations. He averages 0.8 tackles per game, 1.8 clearances per game and also has the lowest take on percentage in 1vs1 situations making him perfect for Everton. Seamus Coleman averages 1.7 tackles per game and 1.5 clearances per game, taking into consideration how dominant Norwich have been this season compared to Everton. Aarons is also just 21 years old, giving him plenty of time to maximise his potential and hopefully follow the foot steps of Seamus Coleman and become an Everton legend.

Everton’s summer previewed. What do the club need to do in order for Everton to progress up the table?

-
The summer of 2020 was a substantial one for the club, the club managed to shift a large chunk of the deadwood such as Sandro Ramirez and Morgan Schnierderlin, whilst club legend Leighton Baines retired. Several players such as Cuco Martina and Oumar Niasse departed the club after their contract expired. This then allowed the club to challenge for their main targets. 2 central midfielders, a goalkeeper, a defender and a playmaker. The club confirmed the arrival of the young, french starlet Niels Nkounkou on a free transfer from Marseille, a player who could be key in the future of the club. They displayed an interest in Max Aarons and Zeki Celik, but those deal were not concrete. Deals for Gabriel and Højberg did not happen, despite pre-Covid a deal for Gabriel to come to the blues was agreed. This resulted in Everton signing Brazilian midfielder Allan from Napoli for a reported £25m fee. The Brazilian was signed in a flurry of deals, with Colombia and Real Madrid star James Rodriguez ...

What would Denzel Dumfries bring to Everton?

-
Dumfries is a 25 year old right back, who currently plays his football for PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch league, has had interest from director of football Marcel Brands. Everton are still searching for a new manager, yet the Dutchman is continually linked. Names such as Nuno Espirito Santo and Eddie Howe have been thrown around, as have Christophe Galtier, however, whoever the new manager is needs to add a right back. Should Galtier arrive from Lille, the Zeki Celik links would once again arise as they did in January of 2020 and 2021. Dumfries is a raw, attacking fullback, similar to Seamus Coleman. He would add a different option to Everton’s defence and would be a substantial upgrade on the Irishman. Dumfries’ versatility is also needed to be taken into consideration. He has played as a right back, left back, central defender and even as a winger for PSV, this is the type of player that we need and should be trying to sign.

Ancelotti on Aston Villa draw

-
I thought we came out the blocks really slowly. Struggled to get a foot on the ball, but partly of that is Carlo’s tactics from not wanting to have the same start we had a Goodison Park. The first 30 half an hour was slow and we were struggling to string two passes together.  Tyrone Mings should have scored from close range. After the half hour mark Everton began to get their foot on the ball and keep possession much better. A few half chances along the way.  But coming out for the second half we were excellent and it was obvious that Carlo had got into them at half time. We were commiting more bodies forward and creating more chances. With 25 minutes to go Jack Grealish came on for Aston Villa as the home side looked for the opener.  Both sides huffed and puffed with any real quality until the chance of the night arrived to Dominic Calvert-Lewin forcing Emi Martinez into a good save at his near post after a peach of a ball in from Lucas Digne.  Aston Villa should ha...
