Everton Can Now Get This 24-Year-Old For Bargain Fee: Is He Still The Right Man For The Toffees?
Everton can now go after Jackson Tchatchoua for a bargain fee this summer, and the Toffees really do need him. Right-back has been a weak spot for a while now, and the club have struggled to find a long-term replacement for Seamus Coleman. Wolves going down gives David Moyes a rare, cheap chance to solve this problem for good, especially since Wolves will likely take much less than the €12.5m they spent on the 24-year-old Cameroonian only a few months back.
The back story: Everton’s first move for Tchatchoua
Everton tried to bring Tchatchoua to the Premier League last summer, competing with the likes of Nottingham Forest, Milan, and Besiktas, but the defender chose the project at Wolves instead. The Toffees pushed hard in the final days of the window to get a deal done. It looked like a late gamble from the Friedkin group as panic set in, mostly because Jarrad Branthwaite’s six-week injury meant would have to cover at right-back rather than playing in his natural central role.
