David Moyes has admitted it’s been a tough summer, with many of Everton’s top targets rejecting them for clubs in Europe.
Although, it has been a much more positive month than last, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish joining.
Tyler Dibling is also set to join the Toffees, with a medical booked in for the talented teenage wide player.
Now, there is another transfer rumour emerging, and this time it’s to a defender on the continent.

Everton fans react to interest in Barcelona defender Hector Fort
Everton have been chasing a right-back all summer, with Kenny Tete close to joining the Merseysiders at one stage.
That deal ultimately fell through, but Moyes has remained intent on recruiting another full-back and it’s now coming to light that he is interested in signing Barcelona’s Hector Fort.
Everton are eyeing Fort on a season-long loan deal and here’s how fans have reacted to the link on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“YES YES YES ABSOLUTELY PLEASE,” @Liam73436040 posted.
@RyneJones7 commented: “This is the one, get it done Everton!”
“I like him, maybe not top quality for a big European team but he is young and could do well with us,” @TMCA2025 explained.
“Please be trueeeee,” @js_efc said.
Who is Everton transfer target Hector Fort?
Fort is a product of Barcelona’s prestigious La Masia academy, and he is actually close friends with Lamine Yamal.
The 19-year-old made his senior debut for Barca in December 2023, coming off the substitutes bench against Royal Antwerp in the UEFA Champions League.
The 2008-born has amassed 30 appearances since then and has been capped at youth level by Spain, so he clearly has a lot of pedigree.
Barcelona’s official website profiled him as a player who is “decisive in defence and known for his bursts of pace and penetration in attack.”
