Everton make their final £30 million summer risk as a surprise development presents Sean Dyche with a fresh challenge.
Despite their financial value, Alex Iwobi and Tom Cannon’s sales have left Sean Dyche with a depleted team.

The summer’s concluding transactions added a bittersweet note to a transfer window that had brought real gains for Everton.
The team finally made an effort to reduce its reliance on Dominic Calvert-Lewin by signing Beto, and the frontline was strengthened by other bright signings like Arnaut Danjuma.
However, despite the fact that the decisions to sell Tom Cannon and Alex Iwobi were both financially sound and gave the team a much-needed late boost to its bottom line, each action served as a stinging reminder of how the team is still in a vulnerable situation since important elements of its present and future were given up.
It is believed that Everton did not want to take a chance on individuals they were dubious of, which is why the departures of both players did not result in fresh incomings. However, those actions as well as Neal Maupay’s departure carry a certain amount of danger. Sean Dyche’s roster is now considered to only contain a dozen senior outfield players who are healthy and available for the trip to Sheffield United due to deadline day activity.
