Everton fans are hoping to see some activity in the transfer window soon – and word has been given about what is more likely for the club.

Last week was a bad one for the Toffees, who suffered three poor results at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The 4-2 loss to Brentford was a terrible way to start 2026.

Everton then followed that up with a poor showing against Wolves, having taken the lead in that game. The match finished 1-1.

The Liverpool Echo has reported that Everton are currently more likely to look at loan deals for new players, ‘unless something exceptional presents itself’.

This comes after David Moyes recently admitted Everton are unlikely to make many additions this month, but that they were looking around.

At the moment the narrative is that Everton aren’t really attacking this transfer window.

It seems that, despite the club being in a promising position, there is a reluctance to really push to increase the quality and depth of the squad.

What do you make to that Everton fans? 😒

Hopefully something ‘exceptional’ does present itself, because Evertonians want to believe that European football can be possible.

It may be the first full season for The Friedkin Group and obviously there is a long term plan, but with the position Everton are in, there is surely scope for Everton to be
