With their Goodison Park farewell complete, Everton is reportedly turning attention to the new era and signing a defensive reinforcement on David Moet’s side.
Everton bid farewell to Goodison Park
On an emotional day, Everton’s men’s team said goodbye to one of the most historic grounds in the history of British football, easing past Southampton 2-0. To close the style, we now look to a new era at Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium and we are eager to see the Friedkin Group be full of success.
However, the parting didn’t end there, but Abduai Dukore and Ashley Young also announced they were planning to leave Everton when summer arrived.
Manager David Moyes was one of those who spoke to Everton’s official website and praised Doucore. “Doucs has been an influential player throughout his time at the club since I returned as manager, and the Evertonian is always grateful for his dedication and important goals. Everyone at Everton appreciates his service and wishes the best for his future.”

Everton manager David Moet is preparing for busy summer spending.
The Frenchman was full of emotion as he came out in an Everton shirt at the end, but there’s no doubt that he’ll be difficult to trade at the transfer window this summer.
The same will be said, on the other hand, if Jarad Brantwaite leaves in the coming months. As it was often linked to leaving throughout Everton’s career, this summer already begins before this summer, and the nerves surrounding the centre-back future will be repeated once again.
However, this time it appears that plans are in place if the defensive star is heading elsewhere in the coming months.
Everton discusses to sign Diomande
According to Africa Foot, Everton has now begun consultations to sign AJ Auxerre’s Sinaly Diomande, as relayed by sports witnesses, and negotiations are currently on track. The 24-year-old appeared on Toffee’s radar following a solid campaign at Earth Rail, where his team finished 11th in League One despite earning promotion to France’s first tier last season.
League statistics 24/25 (via FBREF) | Sinaly Diomande | Jarrad Branthwaite |
|---|---|---|
start | twenty two | 28 |
Progressive Pass | 72 | 66 |
The tackle won | 19 | 20 |
Ball recovery | 86 | 93 |
If there are concerns that Diomande doesn’t have the quality to alleviate Branthwaite’s concerns, this season’s figures should put them to bed soon.
When owned, Diomande is particularly impressive when compared to Brantewite. If Everton is trying to step beyond relegation worries and mid-table mediocrity, it could prove important to sign a defender who can advance play at that level.
Before anything that could be a busy summer, signing Diomande might be the perfect way for Freakdin and Everton to get started.
