Virginia makes Sporting loan move
Joao Virginia's proposed loan move to Sporting CP has been confirmed, with the goalkeeper joining the Portuguese club for the 2021-22 season. Tuesday, 24 August, 2021The 21-year-old was signed by Everton from Arsenal as a young prospect three years ago and has already had one loan spell at Reading.
He briefly got his first opportunity in the Blues' first team last season when both Jordan Pickford and Robin Olsen picked up injuries but the arrival of Asmir Begovic this summer was an indication at Virginia wasn't yet considered a reliable back-up to the England keeper.
With Andy Lonergan also now on board, it is believed that Virginia has joined Sporting with a view to making the switch permanent if all goes well for him back in Portugal.

These are players whose wages we were paying to whatever degree in last seasons accounts, and wont be from now on. Including Bernard, Bolasie etc. There are likely to be a few more leaving yet, hopefully with some money coming in too.
With any luck, this will leave a bit of space for some incomings, over and above the signings weve made so far.
The window ‘crashes shut a week today, and it will be interesting to watch developments.
