After a comfortable season on the pitch, it’s been a pretty tumultuous summer off of it.
First there was rumoured interest in Kenny Tete and Joao Palhinha from Liverpool and West Ham respectively. Since then though, it has all been about Saudi Arabia with Marco Silva, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Willian, all subject to big money bids and contracts from there.
While I’m 99% sure that Silva and Willian will stay, Mitrovic’s future is less certain. He played on Saturday for the first time this pre-season, so I am confident he will be in the squad at Goodison Park this weekend, but anything could change between now and the Saudi transfer deadline of 20 September.
