Everton to swoop in and hijack deal for Arthur Melo with approach made

As the January transfer window enters its final stages, Everton is ramping up its activity in the market.

Following their 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, the Toffees find themselves four points clear of the relegation zone.

However, manager David Moyes is keen to avoid complacency and has called on the Friedkin Group to secure reinforcements, emphasizing the need for signings during his post-match press conference.

Moyes is aiming to adopt a more possession-oriented and attack-focused style of play, with training sessions now centered on this tactical shift.

To support these plans, Everton is actively seeking to bring in new talent and is currently in discussions to sign a former Barcelona midfielder.

Everton make contact to sign Arthur Melo

Italian outlet TuttoJuve reports that Everton has recently initiated contact to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo, a player they have been monitoring for some time.

The Merseyside club is looking to secure Melo’s signature despite strong competition from La Liga side Real Betis. While many reports suggest Betis is close to finalizing a deal, no agreement has been reached yet, leaving Everton with an opportunity to step in.

Melo is no stranger to the Premier League, having spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Liverpool. However, his stint at Anfield was underwhelming, with only one senior appearance and more playing time with the under-21s. It was evident that Jurgen Klopp didn’t see him as part of his plans.

Since leaving Liverpool, the 28-year-old has found success with Fiorentina, but he has once again fallen out of favor at Juventus, making a move in the winter transfer window increasingly likely.
