Everton’s rapid-fire activity in the transfer market is refreshingly new, given this is a club that has often left their business right until the last minute in recent years.

Clearly changing tactics under Kevin Thelwell’s measured stewardship, he is doing all he can to give Sean Dyche all the necessary tools to thrive after such a rough start to life at Goodison Park.

But, with a move to the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium in the offing, and already three new faces welcomed in this summer, things are looking up.

And it seems they are only just getting started on revolutionising the Toffees.

Everton submit bid for Davinson Sanchez

The latest on Everton’s pursuit of Davinson Sanchez comes courtesy of Turkish outlet Aslinda, who actually claim that the Toffees have already submitted a bid for their star defender.

Tempting the 28-year-old to leave Tottenham Hotspur just last summer, he has enjoyed a fine first season with Galatasaray, and now could be set to return to the Premier League with Goodison Park as his new home.

Thelwell has clearly taken a liking to him, willing to spend the €18m (£15m) bid they have already offered for the centre-back.

However, there is a differentiation between that figure and what the selling club want, with a €7m gulf between their €25m (£21m) valuation.

It remains to be seen whether further negotiations will bridge this financial gap to allow Everton to sign the defender branded ‘rapid‘ by journalist Sam Inkersole.

Would Davinson Sanchez succeed in the Premier League?

If you asked Tottenham Hotspur fans whether Everton should sign Sanchez, their answer would likely be a rather negative one.

After all, they saw their side offload £42m for his services, signing him from Ajax after a remarkable tenure there, with the promise that this young Colombian would uphold their backline for many years to come.

And whilst he did stick around in the Premier League for six years, injury and an inability to find form made him an unpopular figure in north London.

However, with the pressure high and things not quite as rosy as he would have hoped, it was hardly the perfect conditions for a young ball-playing defender to thrive.

If anyone is going to get him firing again and maybe squeeze out a few glimpses of his potential, it’s Dyche, who has already showcased his penchant for nurturing talent given how he has developed Jarrad Branthwaite.
