Everton sign £25m-rated flyer to cover Jack Grealish loss with two more eyed in January transfer prediction
Everton might be in for a quiet transfer window, however, AI has made some predictions in terms of who David Moyes could sign.
David Moyes can be happy with what he has achieved so far with Everton having spent most of the season battling a lengthy injury list.
The injuries alone haven’t been the main issue, but the fact that he has had key players missing on a regular basis as well as a series of suspensions to deal with too. With Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye both on international duty with Senegal since the middle of December, being in touch with the European places is even more impressive.

Moyes isn’t expecting a lot of new faces through the door in January, however, X’s Artificial Intelligence bot Grok has tipped the Toffees to seal a couple of deals. According to Grok,” Everton can expect 2-3 modest additions (mix of permanent low-fee/loan)”, with players who can come in and do a job straight away expected to be targeted rather than a big name like Jack Grealish. Grok has named three players who could be signed and explained how much they could cost.
Patrick Wimmer of VfL Wolfsburg would add much needed depth as a winger on either a permanent deal or loan and has been strongly linked as a possible option, with Everton “making enquiries” alongside Fulham and others according to Grok. The 24-year-old Austrian is “lightning-fast, hard-working, and versatile” capable of covering any position behind a central striker — ideal for Moyes' counter style and the need to add width to the attack. The fee, claims Grok, could potentially be in the region of £15-25m (or a loan), realistic given interest from multiple clubs and Wolfsburg's position.
Juanlu Sánchez at Sevilla has been linked before as a right-back capable of becoming the permanent Everton no.2 with interest for the La Liga defender, valued at around £13m, refusing to go away. His attacking overlaps, crossing, and defensive solidity suit the right-back needs, providing balance in build-up and transitions. He would provide a solid mix of the current options of Jake O’Brien, Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson.
Grok also suggested that Wilson Isidor of Sunderland has been the subject of an enquiry. The £25m-rated forward is young, physical and brings a goal threat. Everton need someone who can compete with both Beto and Thierno Barry whilst also offering a different type of threat. Whether or not the Black Cats would sell to a rival competing for European football is another story, especially mid-way through the season.

An alternative name is Deniz Undav of Stuttgart who would represent a trusted and proven centre forward option. Thierno Barry has improved of late and started to score goals, but Moyes still has a lack of options. While not in and around the January rumours although a summer move has been whispered as being possible, Undav makes excellent sense as a proven goal-scorer from his time in the Bundesliga with intelligent movement, link-up, and finishing - perfect for Moyes' system and for when chances are at a premium. A £20-30m move (or loan-to-buy) is affordable, high-impact short-term, and PSR-friendly, added Grok.
If the player doesn’t fit the profile that Everton need then they won’t be signed. Amy business that is done will be “meaningful” with transfers being “affordable” and within PSR restrictions. They will support Moyes’ need for progress without risking the budget being broken. More importantly, any signings will be made to cover positions where Everton have struggled for depth this season.
