The latest transfer updates concerning Everton include a new inquiry for Saudi international Saud Abdulhamid. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked with eight potential arrivals and two possible departures. Below is the latest news on the most significant transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Hayden Hackney.

Saud Abdulhamid

Saud Abdulhamid transfer card On Thursday, sources reported that Everton, described as Roma's sister club, have made inquiries about Saud Abdulhamid, increasing the competition for the 24-year-old right-back. Newcastle United have also been closely monitoring the player for a potential move. Abdulhamid is currently on a successful loan at Lens from Roma. His future is complicated as Lens is considering a permanent transfer, while Roma has a buy-back option that could allow them to re-sign him and then sell him for a profit.

Promise David

Everton is monitoring Union's 24-year-old Canadian-Nigerian striker, Promise David, as of Wednesday. West Ham, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leeds United, Lille, Paris FC, Galatasaray, and Napoli are also reported to be interested. Union has set a summer asking price of over €20 million for the Canadian player. While Union convinced David to stay in January, a transfer after the season is now considered inevitable, and interested parties are reportedly eager to move quickly as his value could increase if he performs well at the World Cup.

Richarlison

On Wednesday, TEAMtalk confirmed that Richarlison has shown interest in returning to Everton.

Marcos Senesi

Everton have expressed an interest in Marcos Senesi and have spoken with his representatives, according to a TEAMtalk report on Wednesday.

Iliman Ndiaye

Recent statements from Iliman Ndiaye on Tuesday have strengthened transfer rumours linking him with Manchester United. During an interview with FotMob, the Senegalese international described Old Trafford as the stadium where he has always wanted to play.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

On Wednesday, Football Insider reported that Tottenham are now set to look for alternatives to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall due to Everton's stance. The club will not sell the midfielder this summer.

Liam Delap

As of Wednesday, five clubs are monitoring Liam Delap's situation at Chelsea, with Everton among them. According to most sources, there have not yet been direct contacts between suitors and Delap, or any club-to-club talks with Chelsea. A loan in the summer is considered more likely than a permanent sale. Manchester United, Newcastle United, Brighton, and Sunderland are the other teams mentioned.
