🚨 BREAKING: Everton Beat Three Premier League Rivals to Land Free-Agent Striker in Stunning Deal
Everton are on the verge of completing one of the surprise moves of the summer after reaching an agreement in principle with highly rated free-agent striker MatÃas Ferreyra, according to sources close to the negotiations.
The 25-year-old Argentine forward became available after leaving his previous club at the end of his contract, attracting interest from Wolves, Fulham and Celtic. However, Everton have reportedly moved fastest, with manager David Moyes personally approving the move as he looks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
Club officials are believed to have held several rounds of talks this week, with discussions progressing rapidly after the player expressed his desire to test himself in the Premier League. Medical tests are expected to be scheduled within days if the final paperwork is completed.
Ferreyra has built a reputation as a hard-working centre-forward capable of playing across the front line. His pace, pressing ability and eye for goal have reportedly impressed Everton’s recruitment department, who believe he could provide valuable competition in attack.
The Blues have already strengthened several areas of the squad this summer, with confirmed arrivals including Hayden Hackney, Merlin Röhl and Tyrique George, as David Moyes continues reshaping his team for the 2026/27 season. Â
Supporters have reacted positively to the rumours on social media, with many believing a quality free-agent signing would represent smart business as Everton continue to build a squad capable of challenging for a top-half finish.
