Controversial David Moyes decision proven correct in Everton transfer update

Add as preferred source on Google

Nathan Patterson may be forced to accept a move to the Championship if he leaves Everton this summer.

The 2025/26 campaign was certainly a tricky one for Patterson, who barely played any football for Everton.

Fellow Scotsman David Moyes provided the right-back with just 240 minutes of Premier League football, which makes a summer exit appear highly likely.

If you were Angus Kinnear who would you be going all out for this summer? 💰

Kyle Walker is, however, the Blades’ top choice at right-back this summer as a potential fairytale return to Bramall Lane is on the cards.

There is not only interest from the Championship, though, with Bologna also eyeing a possible swoop for Patterson.

Patterson’s post-Everton opportunities may highlight David Moyes’ concerns

Moyes could not have made it any clearer that he did not have any faith in his fellow Scotsman, Patterson.

Jake O’Brien played the season at right-back for Everton again despite his desire to return to his natural position at centre-back.

Since the end of January, Patterson made one appearance for Everton, which earned him a matter of seconds on the pitch.

Everton are keen to sign a new right-back this summer, with Patterson’s future away from the club looking clear as day.

Although the decision to completely alienate Patterson may have baffled a large section of the fanbase, perhaps Moyes’ decision is validated after seeing the level of interest emerging for Patterson.

So far, there has been no Premier League interest reported, which may well support the 63-year-old’s apparent feeling that Patterson was simply not up to the level he demanded.
