Everton ‘maybe could sign’ £63k-a-week winger at Goodison Park

Everton could ‘maybe’ be a destination for out-of-favour Newcastle United winger Ryan Fraser with the club set to lose Anthony Gordon, talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has informed GIVEMESPORT.

The Toffees look set to appoint Sean Dyche as their new manager following their decision to sack Frank Lampard earlier in the week.

Everton latest transfer news

Lately, Sky Sports have reported that Newcastle United have agreed a deal woth a total of £45 million to entice the 21-year-old away from Goodison Park.

Talks between the player and the Magpies had rumbled on, while Gordon had also been missing from Everton training as speculation over his future grew.

Newcastle are looking for a replacement to come in and fill the void left by striker Chris Wood, who departed to Premier League side Nottingham Forest in an initial loan deal earlier this month.

Gordon is seen as a versatile forward player who can play several roles in the front three rather than being a direct replacement for the New Zealand international.

Previously this month, Everton had been offered the chance to sign Newcastle winger Fraser, according to i Newspaper. Despite the Scotland international likely being a short-term fix, he could offer a handy option on the flank at a time where the Blues need some offensive inspiration.

What has Alex Crook said about Ryan Fraser?

talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook can ‘see’ Newcastle wide-man Fraser possibly ending up at Goodison Park this window.

Crook told GMS: “He’s [Fraser] someone I could maybe see at Everton, to be honest, you know, one of those struggling teams that maybe need a bit of a boost.”

Would Ryan Fraser be a good signing for Everton?

On his day, £63,000-a-week ace Fraser is a technically sound footballer that can cause problems for opposition backlines with his pace and deliveries from crosses.

Despite this, he has been used as a spare part at St James’s Park this term and has been ignored in favour of the likes of Miguel Almiron, Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak.

In 2022/23, Fraser has made just eight appearances for Newcastle across all competitions and is yet to register a goal or an assist, as per Transfermarkt.

His best performance in recent times has actually come at international level, where he dazzled in a 3-0 victory for Scotland in the Nations League against Ukraine, claiming two assists on the way to helping his country secure a vital win.

There is definitely a player that can produce moments of brilliance in there concerning Fraser; however, he needs to be in an environment where he will play regular football.

Seeing as it may not be achievable at Newcastle for now, Everton could offer an escape route and strengthen their attack if a deal was to materialise indeed.
