Everton
Everton manager Sean Dyche has tried to steady the ship at Goodison Park, but the situation remains precarious.
Although the manager has led his team to several incredible victories this season, they are still fighting for relegation.
With time running out to pick up some much-needed points, the Toffees are currently three points outside of the bottom three in the Premier League standings, in 16th position.
This season, one of their biggest problems has been scoring goals; under Dyche, Everton has been producing chances all the time, but they haven’t been able to convert them.
Recently, Beto and Youssef Chermiti were brought to Goodison Park to assist in resolving this matter and, in fact, relieve part of Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s weight.
However, none of the three have made an impression, with the strikers consistently missing opportunities to score.
Will Braiden Graham boost the attacking options at Everton?
After agreeing to a deal to sign striker Braiden Graham from Irish Premiership team Linfield in November, Everton will soon have a new face in the final third.
After edging out Premier League rivals Brighton, Everton acquired the 16-year-old, who will transfer to Goodison Park at the end of the current campaign, according to a report from The Athletic [November 28, 2023].

Although it appears doubtful that he will make an immediate impact in the first team given his age, Dyche will be pleased with the young player’s most recent efforts in Northern Ireland.
Graham scored with his first touch after coming off the bench in Linfield’s 6-0 victory over Newry City on Saturday, March 16 [BBC Sport, 16 March]. It was the teenager’s first league goal for the team, according to the NI Football League.
