Sean Dyche’s Everton are now trying to sign Tom Heaton from Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.
According to The Mirror, Everton want to sign Tom Heaton from Premier League rivals Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that the Toffees “have made an enquiry” about signing the £62,000-a-week (SalarySport) 37-year-old goalkeeper.
Everton manager Sean Dyche worked with Heaton at Burnley.
The Toffees are on the hunt for a back-up goalkeeper following the departure of Asmir Begovic.
David de Gea has left Manchester United, who are reportedly close to signing Andre Onana from Inter Milan as a replacement.
The Mirror have claimed that Luton Town are also keen on Heaton.
Could Everton sign Tom Heaton from Manchester United?
In our opinion, Everton could struggle to sign Tom Heaton from Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
First of all, United themselves may not be willing to sell Heaton.
Yes, he is 37 now, but he is a very experienced goalkeeper who is a brilliant back-up to have in any squad.
Moreover, Heaton himself may not be willing to move to Everton this summer.
Jordan Pickford is the number one goalkeeper at the Toffees.
So, Heaton would be his back-up.
Why would the goalkeeper leave his role as a back-up goalkeeper at arguably the biggest club in England to do the same job at a team who almost got relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season?
