Everton could sack manager Sean Dyche this month.

The Toffees are narrowly above the relegation zone after their goalless draw against fellow strugglers West Ham United at the weekend.

Sean Dyche’s men have won just two of their opening 11 games this season and look set to be dragged into another relegation battle this season.

Everton fans have urged the club to sack Dyche and it’s thought the Friedkin Group are considering a change in the dugout.

Former manager David Moyes has been linked with a return to Goodison Park and if he is to replace Dyche, here are the three biggest winners.

Three biggest winners from potential David Moyes arrival

Iliman Ndiaye

Iliman Ndiaye has unquestionably been Everton’s signing of the summer so far and he’s not even playing in his best position.

Fans have called for Dyche to start Ndiaye in the 10 role but he keeps shoving him out on the left, which is isolating him far too often.

So if Moyes were to be appointed, he’d likely move him into his favoured role behind the centre-forward, similarly to what he did with Lucas Paqueta.

Beto

Dyche has been really stubborn with his team selections this season as he’s persisting to start the out-of-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Beto has impressed in the limited time he’s had on the pitch and considering Moyes was reportedly keen on signing him at West Ham, it’s likely he’d get far more opportunities to impress under the Scotsman’s stewardship.

Jake O’Brien

Jake O’Brien was the big-money signing in the summer having joined in a £17m switch from Ligue 1 outfit Lyon.

Though, for whatever reason, Dyche has handed him just 26 minutes of Premier League football this season, which is baffling.

Moyes would come in and give everyone a clean slate, so O’Brien would certainly be one of the biggest winners from a manager change.
