Everton have added to their attacking options with the signing of experienced winger Amin Younes on a free transfer. The 30-year-old German, formerly of Al-Ettifaq, joins on a deal running until June 2025 and will wear the blue shirt as a squad player, aiming to bring creativity and depth to the flanks.

Younes, who once lit up the Bundesliga and impressed for Ajax in Europe, is hoping to prove his doubters wrong in this latest chapter of his career.

 

Amin Younes:

“I know what people have said about me—I’ve heard it all. But I still believe in my ability and I’m ready to give everything for this club. The Premier League is a dream stage, and I want to show I still belong here.”

 

Manager Gavin Jones welcomed the new addition, describing the move as a smart opportunity to strengthen the squad.

Gavin Jones:

“Amin’s got quality, experience, and something to prove—which can be a powerful mix. He understands his role here and I’ve no doubt he’ll have his moments to shine when called upon.”

 

Club captain Seamus Coleman also weighed in:

Seamus Coleman:

“It’s always good to bring in someone who’s been around big leagues and knows the game. Amin’s trained well and the lads have welcomed him in—now it’s just about getting stuck in and showing what he can do.”

 

Contract Details:

Wage: £75K per week

Duration: Until 30/06/2025

Bonuses: Loyalty bonus, appearance fee, and an optional one-year extension based on games played

 

While fan reaction has been cautious, there’s a shared hope among supporters that Younes can provide an attacking spark when needed.

Fan Feedback: “Unsure about the signing but keen to see what he can offer. Hoping he can provide an attacking threat when called upon and turn out to be a successful signing.”

Midfield enforcer Amadou Onana will miss the next 9–11 days after sustaining a gashed upper leg during a training ground challenge. The Belgian international will remain at Finch Farm for treatment.

 

Danny Jones (Head Physio):

“It’s a painful knock for Amadou but fortunately not too serious. He’s already started rehab and should be back in contention shortly.”

 

With several players still in the treatment room, the timing is far from ideal — but Onana is expected to return before the end of the month.

Everton have been dealt a double injury blow following the final pre-season clash against Granada, with both Nathan Patterson and Ben Godfrey set for spells on the sidelines.

Nathan Patterson suffered fractured ribs after a heavy collision in the first half. The 21-year-old right-back—who had impressed throughout pre-season—is now expected to be out for 4 to 5 weeks as he begins rehab under the club’s medical team.

Manager Gavin Jones:

“It’s frustrating to lose Nathan right before the season starts—he’s been sharp all summer. We’ll make sure he gets everything he needs to come back stronger.”

 

Meanwhile, centre-back Ben Godfrey sustained a torn groin muscle after a second-half challenge and is set to miss 6 to 7 weeks. The 25-year-old will now see a specialist as part of his recovery process.

Ben Godfrey:

“I’m gutted to be missing the start of the campaign, but I’ll be putting in the work to get back fit as soon as possible. The lads have been class—I’ll be cheering them on every step.”

 

With the season underway, Everton’s depth will be tested early. Here's hoping both defenders make swift and strong returns.

Everton can confirm that Arnaut Danjuma has sustained pulled knee ligaments following an awkward movement during the win over 1. FC Saarbrücken.

The winger is expected to be out for 3–4 weeks and will be treated by the club’s medical staff.

 

Arnaut Danjuma:

“Obviously it’s frustrating, especially when I was starting to feel sharp. But these things happen in football. I’ll focus on recovery and come back even stronger for the team.”

 

Wishing Arnaut a speedy recovery—can’t wait to have him back in full flow soon!

Everton can confirm that Kyle John has joined Grimsby Town on loan until the next transfer window.

The 22-year-old right-back, who has been with the Toffees since 2007, will gain valuable first-team experience as an important player for the Mariners. The deal includes a recall clause, and he will be eligible to feature in cup matches.

Wishing you all the best, Kyle!
