Everton’s new Richarlison: TFG line up move to sign “clinical” £17m CF
Everton Kick Off New Premier League Era with Brighton Showdown at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton’s new home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, is set for a high-profile Premier League debut as it hosts Brighton & Hove Albion on opening weekend—just one week after the Toffees travel to face newly-promoted Leeds United.
After replacing Sean Dyche in January, David Moyes has breathed new life into the club.
Taking over a team sitting 16th and teetering just one point above the relegation zone, he guided Everton to a comfortable 13th-place finish—23 points clear of the drop and well above relegated Leicester City.
Now comes the real challenge: building on that momentum in unfamiliar surroundings while capturing the same intensity and passion that Goodison Park once delivered on matchdays.
While uncertainty hangs in the air, it’s outweighed by excitement for this new chapter. But for Everton to thrive in their fresh surroundings, they need reinforcements—especially up front.
Yuri Alberto on Everton’s Radar as Striker Search Heats Up
One potential solution to Everton’s striker shortage is Brazilian frontman Yuri Alberto.
According to Spanish outlet AS, the Toffees are keen on the Corinthians star as they aim to bolster Moyes’ attacking options.
However, they’re not alone—Atletico Madrid and Roma are also reportedly interested.
Fortunately for Everton, Atletico do not see Alberto as a top priority, potentially leaving an opening for the Merseyside club to steal a march on their rivals—if they act quickly.
Valued at around €20 million (approximately £17 million), Alberto represents a calculated risk with high upside.
What Yuri Alberto Could Offer the Toffees
At 24 years old, Alberto is viewed by many as ready to make his mark in Europe. South American football expert Nathan Joyes has called him “clinical,” and the stats back that up.
According to FBref, he ranks among the top 10% of forwards in Brazil’s Serie A for goals per 90 minutes, pass completion, and aerial duel success.
His playing style—dynamic, mobile, and powerful—would provide Everton with the kind of frontman they’ve been missing since the departure of Richarlison in 2022.
Sold to Tottenham for £60 million, the fiery Brazilian left behind big boots to fill. Alberto might just be the man to do it.
Though Iliman Ndiaye has injected some flair, Moyes could use a more complete and consistent threat up front.
Alberto fits the bill—a “complete forward” with a “powerful, athletic” frame, according to talent scout Jacek Kulig.
And while Richarlison’s name has resurfaced in transfer rumors, it’s clear Everton are moving forward.
Rather than revisit the past, they appear poised to embrace a younger, hungry talent who could offer similar qualities—and perhaps even greater long-term potential.
With a new stadium, renewed ambition, and a sharp eye on the transfer market, Everton are quietly building toward a promising future. Yuri Alberto could be the symbol of this new era.
