Everton’s January transfer window is shaping up to be transformative, with reports suggesting that Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been sold, paving the way for significant squad reinforcements. David Moyes, heavily linked with a sensational return to Goodison Park, has reportedly set his sights on constructing a balanced, hard-working, and competitive side.
A key signing rumored to be part of this reshuffle is a player dubbed “Rice 2.0,” believed to be a young, dynamic midfielder reminiscent of West Ham star Declan Rice. This addition is expected to bring energy, defensive solidity, and leadership to the Toffees’ midfield, addressing long-standing issues in the squad.
Moyes’ dream XI could feature Jordan Pickford in goal, with a solid backline anchored by James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite. In midfield, the new “Rice 2.0” signing would slot alongside Idrissa Gueye and Amadou Onana, creating a formidable trio. Upfront, the absence of Calvert-Lewin would see Everton turn to new attacking options, potentially Neal Maupay or a fresh January recruit, to lead the line.
With Everton languishing in the Premier League table, Moyes’ tactical expertise and these exciting changes could finally reignite the club’s ambitions and secure their survival this season.
