Although Everton’s transfer policy has come under fire in recent windows, The Athletic claims that some players—including current Tottenham player Brennan Johnson—have actually been targeted because they had a better profile.
Prior to Tottenham’s transfer, Everton attempted to sign Brennan Johnson.
The latest report on Everton’s transfer activity from The Athletic claims that the Toffees board had long admired Johnson.
It is even said that during the forward’s time at Nottingham Forest, they made a concerted effort to sign him.
Ultimately, Alex Iwobi made a high-profile summer transfer to Tottenham for approximately £45 million.
Everton, on the other hand, are currently fighting for every point as Dyche continues to try to figure out how to play his current team to its full potential and Beto struggles to score goals.
ADDITIONAL EVERTON STORIESOver the past few years, Everton hasn’t half wasted some enormous sums of money. Despite significant player spending, those players haven’t performed well in the starting lineup. It’s debatable exactly whose fault that is.
It’s evident that there is still uncertainty about Brennan Johnson’s potential as a player for the Spurs.
But he’s off to a solid start, and it appears that he will make an impression this season under Ange Postecoglou.
We’ll never know if he would have performed similarly for an Everton team that was having trouble. However, it does demonstrate that the Toffees recruitment team had identified players who the supporters could have supported.
But as usual, they missed the mark, and now they have to fight their way back into the Premier League.
