Everton’s chances of signing Kyle Walker as The Friedkins set to ‘stretch more’

Kyle Walker has risen on Everton’s transfer radar this summer with an extraordinary move potentially in place.

It seems like after Jack Grealish could join Everton on loan, they are set to go for his Manchester City teammate, Walker.

The 35-year-old right back has been out of sorts like Grealish, and it appears he’ll be on the move this window.

Everton fans don’t want Walker, as it can be seen that the defender’s form has dipped in recent years, especially after a dismal loan spell at AC Milan.

Well, now it’s been explained how likely it is we will see Walker play at the Bramley-Moore Dock next campaign.

The chances of Everton signing Kyle Walker this summer

It seems like the Everton faithful aren’t too keen on the prospect of the experienced England international joining.

But David Moyes might have a much different view with experience needed in the squad as The Friedkin Group builds this exciting project.

Moyes likes Walker’s experience, and that could be a key reason why the Scotsman looks to secure a deal for the full-back.

Journalist Miguel Delaney has weighed in on the possibility of Walker joining Everton on Sky Sports, and explained The Friedkins’ position with the signing.

“The Friedkins will get to stretch more this summer, and in that context, you do feel they could use the experience Walker would offer,” Delaney said.

“Seamus Coleman has been the long-standing right-back, but obviously has had fitness issues.

“Walker just bridges the gap a little bit; he’s the exact sort of player that Moyes will appreciate.

“It’s not a surprise in the sense you can see the logic of it.”

Moyes cannot make Walker a starter at Everton

It’s been seen in recent weeks that Walker just can’t be trusted anymore, as his performance for England was a shambles against Senegal in the 3-1 loss.

But the dilemma the Toffees boss has is that Moyes doesn’t trust Nathan Patterson either, so it makes for a tricky decision.

A likely scenario could see Walker come in, and Patterson potentially exit after he’s underperformed and is ultimately an injury risk.

With Walker as back-up, this could open up the door for a proper starter in the squad, and Kenny Tete has been linked for a move to Everton, as The Friedkins’ masterplan could be coming into place.
