The Verdict: Get it done
The Toffees are jetting off to the United States for pre-season, and Frank Lampard will likely be unsatisfied with the squad that he has at his disposal, having sold Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur and James Tarkowski being the only notable incoming.
With an impressive 12 goals and ten assists on loan at Championship outfit Sheffield United last season (Transfermarkt), subsequently being named as their Player of the Year, Gibbs-White will be hungry to prove that he can play at the highest level in the Premier League.
The Liverpool Echo journalist Chris Beesley believes that he could become ‘Lampard’s Tim Cahill‘, a player who managed 68 goals and 29 assists in 278 games for the Toffees over eight consecutive campaigns (Transfermarkt), and had a love affair with the club and its supporters.
Nonetheless, this is a deal that should be very popular with Evertonians.
