# Everton agree terms with “unique” England international

[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/everton/) are building for a new era under David Moyes, and their summer business is already making headlines.

The Toffees ended the 2024/25 Premier League season on a high following Moyes’ January return, losing just four of their final 18 matches. That impressive turnaround not only secured their top-flight status but also boosted morale ahead of their historic move to the new 52,888-capacity Everton Stadium this summer.

With renewed optimism, Moyes is targeting reinforcements — and Manchester City appears to be his hunting ground.

According to Football Insider, [Everton and Newcastle United are the frontrunners to sign Jack Grealish](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/everton/everton-front-runners-jack-grealish/), with the England international keen to leave the Etihad in search of regular first-team football. Grealish started only 16 games across all competitions last season and hopes a move can help reignite his form and reclaim a spot in the national team setup.

However, it’s not just Grealish on Everton’s radar. The Toffees have reportedly agreed terms with Grealish’s City and England teammate Kyle Walker.

The 35-year-old full-back spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan, who have opted not to make the deal permanent. Despite previously expressing a desire to finish his career abroad, [The Sun reports](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35428462/man-city-kyle-walker-everton-transfer/) that Walker will now remain in the Premier League, with Everton securing a verbal agreement.

Talks are now ongoing between Everton and Manchester City to determine whether the move will be a permanent transfer or a short-term loan to cover the final year of his contract. Fulham were also interested but couldn’t match the financial terms offered by the Toffees.

Walker’s experience would provide a significant boost to Moyes’ defence. Despite his age, the England international has remained a consistent performer at the highest level and is still regarded as one of the Premier League’s top right-backs. Pep Guardiola famously [described him as a “unique” talent](https://www.tntsports.co.uk/football/champions-league/2023-2024/manchester-city-boss-pep-guardiola-lauds-incomporable-and-unique-player-kyle-walker-after-exit-rumou_sto9802864/story.shtml) — and few would argue.

As Everton prepare to open a new chapter in their history, the potential arrivals of Grealish and Walker could signal serious ambition from a club looking to re-establish itself among the Premier League’s elite.
