When everything is going well, Everton is a great club to be associated with.
With their continuous battles spanning more than two years, fans have grown completely acclimatized to this feeling.
But now that Sean Dyche is in charge and the Toffees appear to be turning the corner, optimism has finally returned to Goodison Park, just in time.
Currently enjoying their time in the Premier League and having just secured a place in the EFL Cup quarterfinals, there isn’t much to be upset about.
But if the league has its way and attempts to punish Farhad Moshiri’s team for financial mismanagement and disregarding Financial Fair Play, all of it might be in peril very soon.
They won’t go down without a fight, but with so many people watching them right now, it’s unlikely that they will have much money to spend.
It is therefore unexpected that transfer guru Fabrizio Romano would say that they are still considering Crysencio Summerville, who is playing well for Leeds United, in spite of summer transfer rumors.
“I mentioned Everton, Bournemouth, and Burnley as clubs interested in Crysencio Summerville last summer, but he decided to stay at Leeds,” he said in his Daily Briefing on Thursday.
“In January, things might change. Several clubs are keeping an eye on him, so things could change in the coming weeks. However, at this time, I am unable to comment on any specific names.”
This season, how is Crysencio Summerville performing?
Even though it’s early, it appears that Dyche made a mistake in not signing the 22-year-old phenom who is terrorizing the championship with his speed, cunning, and final product.
The £15k-per-week Dutchman has made just nine league starts, but he has already scored six goals and provided four assists, almost matching his season-ago total of 11 goal contributions across all competitions.
Even though that is excellent on its own, Daniel Farke has praised him for his consistent danger, which is best demonstrated by the 3.6 shots and 2.6 crucial passes he makes on average per game in the Championship, according to Sofascore.
“Crysencio is a baller,” said the German tactician, who has a chance to advance from the Whites’ current division.
Even if Jack Harrison, who is on loan from Elland Road, is playing brilliantly and is possibly a better match for Dyche’s system, it must be difficult not to think of Summerville as the one that got away. Maybe he could atone for his actions in January of this year.
