Everton’s net spend even higher than Chelsea’s as Premier League data throws up some surprises

Everton were finally free from PSR concerns this summer and that reflected in some of the transfers they were able to make.

The Toffees forked out around £40m on Tyler Dibling, making him one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history.

Thierno Barry and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also joined in pretty sizable deals, and perhaps one of the most important bits of business was keeping Jarrad Branthwaite.

Everton were able to tie Branthwaite down to a new contract, and that’s massively gone under the radar this summer.

That shows the Merseysiders are heading in the right direction as they’ve not been forced to sell a key asset.

With that said, we’ve decided to take a look at Everton’s net spend in the summer window and how it compares to the rest of the Premier League.

Everton’s net spend compared to the rest of the Premier League

Quite remarkably, Everton ended the window with a higher net spend than the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.

All three of those clubs will be plying their trade in Europe this season and will therefore gain additional revenue.

That shows how transformative Everton’s new stadium is for finances, with the club expected to earn an extra £40m in revenue every season.

The Toffees ranked in seventh place for net spend across the Premier League, shelling out a total of £109m.

Everton need to qualify for Europe to progress to next step

To really kick on and compete with the ‘big six’, Everton will need to qualify for Europe, as that’s where a lot of money lies.

To qualify that further, every club that qualifies for the Champions League is automatically entitled to around £15m and then, of course, the additional revenue that comes from advancing in the tournament, broadcast income, matchday income and commercial deals.

Moyes has made qualifying for Europe a target this season, so they will be aiming to finish inside the top seven.

If they can achieve that goal, the Toffees could bring in more statement signings next summer and just go from strength to strength.
