Everton have successfully secured the services of Edoardo Bove from AS Roma for a reported fee of £18 million.
The 21-year-old Italian midfielder, known for his versatility and technical prowess, is set to add a new dimension to Everton’s squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
Bove’s transfer marks a significant acquisition for the Toffees, who have been in search of young talent to bolster their ranks. Having risen through the youth system at Roma, Bove made his Serie A debut in May 2021 and quickly established himself as a promising talent. His ability to play both as a central midfielder and in a more advanced role provides Everton manager Sean Dyche with tactical flexibility.
During his tenure at Roma, Bove made 42 appearances, showcasing his ability to dictate play, intercept passes, and contribute offensively with key assists and the occasional goal. His performances in the UEFA Europa Conference League further highlighted his potential, attracting attention from several European clubs. However, it was Everton who moved decisively to secure his signature.
Everton’s director of football, Kevin Thelwell, expressed his excitement about the signing, stating, “Edoardo is a dynamic and intelligent player whose best years are ahead of him. His arrival is part of our strategy to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level.”
Bove joins a team eager to improve on last season’s performance, where Everton narrowly avoided relegation. His arrival is expected to energize the squad and provide much-needed creativity in the midfield. Fans at Goodison Park will be eagerly anticipating Bove’s debut, hoping that his flair and vision can help propel Everton to new heights in the Premier League.
With this signing, Everton have not only invested in the present but also in the future, signaling their ambition to reclaim their status as one of England’s top clubs.
