Carlos Alcaraz’s past may make Everton fans wonder how he’s now at Goodison Park.
Alcaraz has the potential to become a real hero at Everton as fans are already taking to the Argentine’s character.
Paul Merson said Alcaraz’s Everton debut was great and after just 25 minutes has already given Toffees fans something to look forward to.
David Moyes is clearly a keen admirer to bring him in at such late notice, but Moyes would definitely have not taken a risk in signing Alcaraz.
The Scotsman would have tapped into his time at Southampton, as Owen Hargreaves was also a fan of the 22-year-old when he was first in the Premier League.
The prediction Owen Hargreaves made about Everton’s Carlos Alcaraz
Hargreaves was an excellent midfielder for Manchester United and Bayern Munich back in the day so it’s some praise for Alcaraz.
Pundits seem to already have taken a keen interest in the 22-year-old as well as the Toffees squad, with Jarrad Branthwaite praising Alcaraz.
Well back in 2023, Hargreaves made an audacious claim about the Argentine when at Southampton, after speaking to Premier League Productions following the Saints’ relegation against Fulham.
“You know what, he’s fabulous,” Hargreaves said.
“He’ll probably go to a top-six side, Carlos Alcaraz,”
“The only one who had an impact from January was Alcaraz, he is fantastic.”

Everton have hit the jackpot after Alcaraz’s first Premier League spell
With Liverpool around the corner, Alcaraz could make his first start for Everton and it would be some game to begin with.
Moyes is already ‘pleased’ with Alcaraz and it comes as no surprise why.
The audacity to take a free kick within 10 minutes of your debut is something, but almost scoring shows what kind of player Everton have on their hands.
Hargreaves believed Alcaraz could’ve made a move to a top-six club, and there’s every reason why after he impressed in the Premier League.
The Argentine now has the wisdom he needs under Moyes, as Alcaraz could be the next big thing at Everton.
