Gustavo Hamer responds to Everton interest as David Moyes looks to strike £20m deal
Gustavo Hamer Emerges as a Strong Midfield Option for Everton
Gustavo Hamer has surfaced as a serious transfer target for Everton this summer, with the Dutch midfielder seen as one of the standout players in the Championship. After another impressive campaign with Sheffield United, it’s no surprise he’s attracting Premier League interest.
David Moyes, who has a history of scouting talent from the Championship, is expected to continue exploring this route during the window—with Hamer firmly on his radar.
However, Everton are not alone in the race. Leeds United are also keen on the 27-year-old, meaning Moyes will need to act decisively to bring Hamer to Merseyside.
Hamer’s Stance on Everton Move Revealed
Having already proven himself in the Premier League, Hamer is exactly the type of player Everton need. Despite Sheffield United’s relegation, the midfielder was one of the few shining lights in an otherwise difficult season. Without him, things might have been far worse for the Blades.
Now reportedly available for around £20 million, Hamer presents excellent value—especially for a club like Everton, seeking Premier League-ready reinforcements.
But how does Hamer feel about a potential move to Everton?
According to The Star, Hamer is currently settled in Sheffield and is in no rush to force a transfer. However, with his 28th birthday approaching, he’s said to be open to testing himself at a higher level—recognising that he’s entering the peak of his career.
Sheffield United’s Position on Hamer’s Future
With Sheffield United missing out on a return to the Premier League, Everton’s chances of landing Hamer have improved. He remains a key figure in Chris Wilder’s squad, and naturally, the manager will want to hold onto one of his most influential players.
Still, the lure of Premier League football may prove too strong. Even with emerging talents like Harrison Armstrong potentially competing for midfield minutes, Hamer’s quality would give him a strong chance to thrive at Everton.
Speaking to The Star, Wilder addressed Hamer’s situation:
“As soon as we talked about needing to restore value to our top players, I think we’ve done that—especially with Gus, who was a major signing for us in the Premier League. But you’ve got to be all in,” Wilder explained.
“There was some noise and interest from other clubs, but once Gus committed, he’s given everything.”
Wilder’s comments confirm that interest has already been present—possibly including Everton—and the Toffees are expected to return with renewed efforts this summer.
With the midfielder’s ability, experience, and potential availability, Gustavo Hamer could prove to be one of the smartest signings of Everton’s transfer window.
