Everton linked with Wesley and Brooke Norton-Cuffy
Everton have been linked with two players - Wesley and Brooke Norton-Cuffy - in the final few days of the winter transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano reports that the Toffees are keen on signing Genoa’s right-back Norton-Cuffy. The 22-year-old has a contract with the Serie A outfit until 2029, but a decision could be made regarding his future in this window.
“Brooke Norton-Cuffy could leave Genoa before the end of the January window. Clubs have re-started calling, Everton and one more Premier League clubs while Serie A sides are also keen,” Romano posted on X.
Norton-Cuffy came up through the Arsenal youth system and also had a spell at Chelsea. He has gone on several loans to Lincoln City, Rotherham United, Coventry City and Millwall and left Emirates Stadium without making a first-team appearance for the first-time to join Genoa permanently in 2024.
Since then, he has made 22 appearances for the Italian side in all competitions and has registered a goal and an assist.
The right-back slot has been a bit of a problem position for the Blues with centre-back Jake O’Brien forced to delegate. While Nathan Patterson has been solid in recent games, with O’Brien moving to the centre to replace the suspended Michael Keane, his overall record remains unreliable.
The injury to Jack Grealish might force Everton to bring in another forward and the name of Wesley has come up. Reports emerging out of Brazil suggest that the Toffees are interested in the Al Nassr forward.
Bruno Andrade of ESPN Brazil reports that the "winger is in advanced negotiations with Everton of England and is expected to join the Premier League team during this transfer window."
Wesley has made 40 appearances for Al Nassr, scoring five goals and five assists since joining the club in 2024.

My fear is any player we buy will sit on the bench and be brought on in the 88th minute.
