Dwight McNeil has been linked with a late exit from Everton.<\/p>\n
The winter transfer window has revolved more around outgoings for Everton, as opposed to new arrivals.<\/p>\n
As things stand, Everton are on course to sign Tyrique George<\/a> from Chelsea, with a loan-to-buy agreement already in place, with that deal quite possibly set to be the only piece of incoming business on deadline day.<\/p>\n However, exits remain possible, and McNeil is the latest to be mooted for a departure from the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n McNeil has had a dreadful season for Everton<\/a>, and that was only amplified by the fact that Harrison Armstrong was chosen to start on the right flank over him and Tyler Dibling.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old has managed just one goal contribution in 14 appearances for the Toffees in the Premier League this season, casting doubt over his future.<\/p>\n Sportsboom<\/a> then reported on deadline day that Sunderland were considering a last-minute swoop for the Burnley star.<\/p>\n However, those rumours have been immediately shut down by Sunderland Echo journalist James Copley, who shared the latest via his X account.<\/p>\n Copley said: \u201cSources have played down links between Sunderland and Dwight McNeil, with the Everton winger not currently on the club\u2019s radar.\u201c<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Sources have played down links between Sunderland and Dwight McNeil, with the Everton winger not currently on the club\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd04 The main focus remains on two deals: Nilson Angulo (incoming) and Simon Adingra (outgoing).#SAFC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 James Copley (@JamesCopley_) February 2, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Sunderland are focusing on finalising a deal to sign Nilson Angulo from Anderlecht, which looks likely to be the only wide arrival at the Stadium of Light before 7pm.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s claimed that the deal is dependent on the future of Simon Adingra, who is undergoing a medical ahead of a proposed loan move to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco.<\/p>\n What does the future look like for McNeil?<\/p>\n Quite frankly, it looks bleak.<\/p>\n Even in the absence of Ndiaye, McNeil has failed to impress, and the pending arrival of George will push him even further down the pecking order.<\/p>\n Everton remain keen on signing Jack Grealish<\/a> in the summer, despite the season-ending injury, and should that deal happen, it would almost certainly spell the end for McNeil on Merseyside.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old joined the Toffees in a \u00a320million deal from Burnley back in 2022, but it is hard to see a future for him here beyond the summer.<\/p>\n McNeil will have just one year left on his Everton contract in the summer, meaning they would be unlikely to recoup the fee paid to sign him four years ago.<\/p>\n Stay up to date this winter with our Everton transfer tracker<\/a>.
