He is off to a great start this season.
According to a recent transfer update, Everton is competing with two other Premier League teams for the signing of a “very interesting” attacking player, one of which is Liverpool.
Everton defeats Bournemouth 3-0; Jack Harrison is back
After a terribly bad start to the season, the Blues have improved a little, picking up two victories in their previous three league games. While their loss to Luton Town at home was rather bad, they followed it up with a 3-0 success over Bournemouth at Goodison Park on Saturday. Their 3-1 victory against Brentford was a great performance.
After a sluggish start, there is a sense that Sean Dyche is settling into his position as manager, and the new players he brought in during the summer transfer window are also adjusting to life in Merseyside.
For instance, Jack Harrison, a loan player from Leeds United, scored a miraculous goal against Bournemouth. Other players like Beto and Arnaut Danjuma have occasionally had an impact in the early going of the season.
However, it is evident that Everton’s roster might still be significantly stronger overall, providing Dyche more alternatives and enabling him to rotate efficiently going ahead. Another Premier League relegation battle is not out of the question. Because of this, new players ought to join the team during the January transfer window, and a recent development hints they may be interested in a promising young star.
Everton transfer news: Maximilian Beier
Maximilian Beier is reportedly a target for the Blues, according to Fussball Transfers [via Sport Witness], which provides a transfer update on the highly-touted Hoffenheim attacker. Jacek Kulig, a football talent scout, described Beier as a “very interesting” prospect.
The 20-year-old is sought after by a number of teams, including Brentford and local rivals Liverpool, who are also rumoured to be interested in signing him. Hoffenheim reportedly has a “plan” to prevent him from joining any of the bidders since they want to maintain one of their most valuable assets, but his current contract expires in 2025 and has a €20 million (£17 million) release clause.
Given the impact he is already making while wearing a Hoffenheim jersey, Beier could be a genuine statement signing for Everton if they were able to lure him to Goodison, whether that be in January or next summer.
The young player, who has seven goals overall for his current club in 19 appearances (Transfermarkt – Beier statistics), has scored five goals in as many Bundesliga starts this season and should continue to improve as his all-around game develops.
Young players might choose the Reds given their possibilities of long-term success, but despite Liverpool’s obvious danger, if Everton can close a deal, it could be one of their most exciting business deals in a while.
