During the January window, Everton was one of several Premier League clubs that explored signing Quinten Timber, a 24-year-old Netherlands international from Feyenoord. Fulham and Brentford also showed interest, and West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace made concrete enquiries. The midfielder stated he preferred to continue his development on the continent instead of moving to the Premier League at this point in his career and is now expected to complete a transfer to Marseille. Timber has 8 caps for his country, has scored 2 goals and provided 4 assists in 17 Eredivisie appearances this season. His contract at Feyenoord expires in June 2026 and his current Transfermarkt valuation is €25.00m. In January 2026, reports indicated Feyenoord was demanding €10 million for an immediate transfer. Lazio reportedly offered at least €5 million.
