Everton to play transfer blinder with McGinn signing, ‘European football beckons’
Everton are expected to be relatively busy in the transfer market this summer as they look to carry on from their promising end to the previous campaign.
David Moyes returned to Everton in January and oversaw a drastic turnaround in the Toffees’ fortunes, and there is now plenty of optimism that they can achieve something special next season.
The Friedkin Group are expected to back Moyes heavily in the market, and they are already lining up deals to sign several impressive talents.
Thierno Barry is seemingly hours away from becoming an Everton player, while there are also links with the likes of Nicolas Tagliafico and Takefusa Kubo.
Everton want to sign John McGinn
The permanent acquisition of Charly Alcaraz currently stands as the Toffees’ only summer signing, although there are seemingly a few potential deals on the horizon from elsewhere on the continent.

The Merseysiders seem keen to target the European market, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t also have plenty of players from elsewhere in the Premier League on their radar.
One of those is seemingly John McGinn, with Everton widely reported to be interested in signing the Aston Villa ace.
The Scottish international has become a crucial figure for the Villans over the years, and he has been a key part of their recent rise into European football, which was branded as “phenomenal” by Don Hutchison back in 2023 [HITC].
Everton will have lofty aspirations under the new regime, and if they can pull off a few signings of McGinn’s quality, then they might even find their own European campaign beckoning soon.
McGinn would be a perfect fit for Everton
There can be no doubt that TFG would be playing a blinder in the transfer market if they could secure the signature of McGinn.
The 30-year-old provides a vital energy in the middle of the park, but also the kind of genuine top-level quality that makes him a big creative threat.
In addition to that, the industrious and combative nature of the midfielder’s game would surely see the Toffees faithful fall in love with him with ease.
The Villa star often found himself operating from out wide in the latter stages of the 2024/25 season, but Moyes would surely look to slot him firmly into the spine of his team if he were to make the move.
Unai Emery’s side have a desire to further establish themselves as a club that can compete in Europe, but that will surely mean they will need to continuously upgrade on their current squad.
That could play into Everton’s hands on this occasion, and they should be doing everything they can to coax McGinn into making the switch.
