The Toffees are on course to secure a significant windfall in the coming days as Amadou Onana is on the verge of joining Aston Villa for £50million, and boss Sean Dyche is desperate to source a replacement before the new Premier League campaign gets underway with a clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Iliman Ndiaye became Everton’s latest signing when he completed a £16.9million switch from Marseille earlier this month, but director of football Kevin Thelwell is looking to oversee negotiations for further fresh faces to ensure the final season at Goodison Park is memorable for all the right reasons.

Toffees Ready to Make Speedy Call on Potential Arthur Deal

Brazil international eager to seal Premier League return

Everton are poised to make a quick decision on whether to engage in serious contact over a deal for Arthur, according to GMS sources, after it has become clear that he has no future at Juventus despite Thiago Motta heading into the Allianz Stadium dugout since his Fiorentina loan spell came to an end.

The defensive midfielder, who made 48 appearances for his current employers’ Serie A rivals during the 2023/24 campaign, is facing an uncertain future after being warned by the Bianconeri’s hierarchy that he needs to find a fresh challenge as he will not secure regular game time in Turin.

GMS sources have been informed that Everton are showing interest in Arthur in the aftermath of entering the market for an Onana replacement, and he is very interested in the prospect of returning to the Premier League with the Toffees after having a short spell with Merseyside rivals Liverpool.
