Everton fans will be excited with Kenny Tete set to be the second summer signing under David Moyes.
The Toffees are set to get their transfer window firmly underway with the free transfer of Fulham right-back Tete.
Tete has graced the Premier League for the last five seasons under former Everton boss Marco Silva, with the Dutchman set to embark on a new journey under Moyes.
The 29-year-old has got glowing reviews from the fanbase as Everton fans see Tete as a ‘brilliant deal’ after proving to be a success under Silva’s regime.
With it looking like a couple of minor details still needing to be agreed, the defender has already done something which will impress Everton even more.
Little known detail in Kenny Tete’s transfer to Everton
With Moyes desperately needing a right-back following the departure of Ashley Young, Tete fits the bill to a tee.
Moyes doesn’t trust Nathan Patterson as well, with the 23-year-old potentially now seeing his future at the Hill Dickinson Stadium thrown into doubt.
It’s clear Evertonians are happy, but Fulham fans are gutted by Tete’s exit, but what he’s now done will heighten the Cottagers’ dismay.
The Times reporter, Peter Rutzler, has revealed that Fulham offered Tete a three-year deal, but the right-back chose to reject the proposal.
This would have no doubt left Silva devastated, but everything in this deal points in the right direction for Everton.

Tete will be the perfect signing for Everton after new update
With an ‘agreement’ reached with Tete, it’s excellent to see The Friedkin Group moving quickly to get deals done.
Adding more Premier League experience will bode well for Moyes as well, with Tete showing off his excellence during his time in the top flight.
But the rejection of a new three-year deal should fill everyone around Everton with promise, as the Dutchman is showing his true intentions.
It’s been made clear that Moyes wants players with character, and for the 29-year-old to reject the chance to stay at Fulham is bold due to the project under Silva, which has proven to be a raging success so far.
His desire to join Everton despite Fulham being in a better place speaks volumes in terms of the players Moyes needs, and the owners have got it spot on with Tete.
Now, they have the chance to build on signings like the right-back, as The Friedkins’ transfer masterplan is in full swing.
