David Moyes targets Kyle Walker for new Everton era
Kyle Walker has emerged as a serious target for Everton as they look to build David Moyes's squad heading into their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Moyes is in the market for a right-back following Ashley Young's departure from the club at the end of the month, with Walker among the candidates they are willing to explore. Walker, 35, was not taken to the Club World Cup with Manchester City and will be allowed to leave the Etihad Stadium having spent eight years at the club, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League. He was loaned out to AC Milan for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign and returned this month, although is not expected to be returning to Italy for a second spell at the San Siro. While he is assessing his next options, Everton could be an attractive destination in terms of location and their ambitious plans as they start next season in a brand new ground after leaving Goodison Park. Moyes played Jake O'Brien at right-back but is looking at options to provide competition in that area, with the Republic of Ireland international also able to play as a centre-back. The club released Young along with Abdoulaye Doucouré, Joao Virginia, Asmir Begovic, Mason Holgate and Neal Maupay at the end of their deals this summer. Walker was at fault for one of Senegal's goals in England's 3-1 defeat at the City Ground, although Thomas Tuchel, the head coach, defended him by insisting he was out of rhythm after a recent shoulder injury.

'I think at the moment you see a lack of rhythm. Because he did not play the last matches, not many minutes for AC Milan,' Tuchel said. 'And after his broken elbow he lost his rhythm, that's what you feel in camp. I saw him very composed. 'I saw him very open. I saw him absolutely happy to be in camp and proud to be in camp. He trained very well. Every single player who played today deserved it, over two camps or in this camp, to play, to start, to come in. That counts also for Kyle. I feel a lack of rhythm in his game.'

Kyle Walker 'agrees move to SHOCK Premier League side' bringing an end to 35-year-old's glittering Man City career after eight years
Kyle Walker is thought to have agreed a shock move to Premier League rival, calling time on his eight-year stint at Manchester City, according to reports. The former captain is one of the club's most decorated players, having won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and the Champions League with the side, among other club and individual honours. But Walker has been on loan at AC Milan since leaving the Etihad in the January window, after admitting that the thought that his career at the club was over made him 'want to cry'. While in Serie A, the defender made just 11 appearances in club colours, but surprisingly won back his play in the England side under new manager Thomas Tuchel. AC Milan are believed to have mulled a permanent move for the 35-year-old, but ultimately declined. However, as per the Sun, Walker is set to stay in the English top-flight after reportedly signing a one-year deal. The England international is thought to be gearing up for a move to Everton, with Man City and the Toffees locked in talks over either a permanent deal or a 12-month loan. Another Premier League side - Fulham - are also thought to have enquired about the availability of the star, but were ultimately unable to afford to secure his services.
