Everton set for £64m windfall but new transfer challenges are on horizon

With Anthony Gordon set to seal his move to Newcastle United and forgotten man Moise Kean's loan deal turning into a permanent one at Juventus this summer, Everton could find themselves back in profit by the time the 22/23 accounts are published.

For Everton the financial situation has been brutal in recent seasons, something that while impacted by the pandemic was significantly of their own design, with owner Farhad Moshiri's heavy spend in the early years of his tenure after acquiring the club in 2016 having caught up with them after the Blues were unable to close the gap on the top four and deliver success that would have led to greater prize money to allow for the spend.

The club have had to be mindful of their profit and sustainability (P&S) position for the past two years, with the Premier League keeping a watchful eye. With losses of £372m over the past three financial years they have been pretty much at the top of the Premier League watch list, the club having to liaise with the League over its financial dealings, something that has hamstrung Everton in the transfer market and resulted in them having to sell key assets like Richarlison for £60m to Tottenham Hotspur and be far more thrifty when adding players to the squad this season.
