Everton are planning to explore different options for offloading midfielder Tim Iroegbunam in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.<\/p>\n
The Toffees signed the 22-year-old from Aston Villa<\/a> in the summer of 2024 for a reported fee of around \u00a39million.<\/p>\n Sources say that the Merseyside outfit may be willing to accept less than they originally paid for Iroegbunam<\/a>, in order to sell him in the new year. A loan deal is also a possibility.<\/p>\n David Moyes<\/a> does not see the Englishman as a key part of his future plans, which could mean he departs in January.<\/p>\n Iroegbunam was praised for his performance<\/a> in Everton\u2019s 2-0 win over Fulham just before the international break.<\/p>\n It was just the fourth Premier League<\/a> game that the former Aston Villa man had started all season though, highlighting his overall lack of minutes.<\/p>\n Since the start of the campaign, James Garner<\/a> has been excellent in Moyes\u2019 midfield, partnered by veteran Idrissa Gana Gueye.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n The form of Garner and Gueye has left Iroegbunam struggling for game time in general, and could lead to a January exit for the youngster.<\/p>\n Everton eye former Man United midfielder<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Everton have set their sights on signing Napoli star Scott McTominay<\/a>, sources have told Football Insider.<\/p>\n The Merseyside club have an interest in the former Manchester United<\/a> midfielder as they assess potential midfield options.<\/p>\n Sources say Everton boss Moyes sees McTominay as a talismanic presence in the mould of his former totem Marouane Fellaini, with the ability to get forward and cause chaos in the opposition box.<\/p>\n McTominay<\/a>, 28, has been a big success in Serie A since joining in 2024 and has a contract at Napoli until the summer of 2028.<\/p>\n For more Everton and exclusive news, follow us on Facebook<\/a> or join our brand new WhatsApp Channel<\/a> for instant updates to be sent straight to your phone.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Imago\/Getty Mon 17 November 2025 9:26, UK Everton are planning to explore different options for offloading midfielder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,16411,596,85,167128],"class_list":{"0":"post-290293","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-everton","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-tim-iroegbunam"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Tim](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1Iroegbunam--1024x576.png\")
