Everton new signings: Confirmed ins and outs for summer 2025

After steering the club away from the threat of relegation last season, David Moyes is now enjoying his first full season back as Everton manager, and it's a special one for the club as it is their first in their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. 

The club had grand plans to try and put them into action as early as possible, the intention in the summer was to bring in players capable of helping the club to push for a European place. How did they get on? Let's analyse the Everton ins and outs from the summer 2025 window below.

Everton new signings Summer 2025

Tyler Dibling (Southampton)

At 19 years of age, Tyler Dibling already has a full season in the Premier League under his wings since he notched 33 appearances for Southampton last season, and while the Saints were relegated, Dibling will stay in the top flight with Everton.

The Toffees paid £35m for Dibling, which could rise even more with add-ons, so they clearly believed in his potential at the time.

Dibling signing grade: C

Dibling had a perceived high ceiling a couple of years ago, but he has barely got a look in under David Moyes at Everton so far. In his short cameos, he has failed to impress, too, and there are fears that the club could cut their losses on him already.

Carlos Alcaraz (Flamengo)

Everton decided to trigger the buy option for Carlos Alcaraz this summer, which now makes him a permanent member of Moyes' squad. He impressed while on loan from Brazilian side Flamengo in the 2024/25 campaign, as in the 15 matches he played for the team, he scored twice and provided three assists.

Previously, in an interview, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder stated that he “fell in love” with the club, and Moyes was apparently key in pushing the deal through. Thus, we are confident that paying £12.6m for a player of his stature is going to prove the right call.

Alcaraz signing grade: A

Alcaraz already knows the club well and was impressive in his loan spell, so seems like a smart permanent signing for Everton.

Thierno Barry (Villarreal)

Everton have made a significant signing in the addition of Thierno Barry for a reported transfer fee of around £27.6m. The France U21 international striker has joined from La Liga side Villarreal, signing a four-year deal on Merseyside.

Barry is a huge physical threat at 6ft 5in tall, and helped Villarreal finish fifth in La Liga in the 2024/25 season by scoring a total of 11 goals, helping them qualify for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in the process.

Barry signing grade: A

Barry should give great competition for Beto up front, and is one of the most promising young strikers in world football.

Mark Travers (Bournemouth)

Everton have also signed Mark Travers for a reported transfer fee of £4m. The Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper has joined from fellow Premier League rivals Bournemouth on a four-year deal.

Travers brings with him plenty of experience having played a total of 82 games for the Cherries in all competitions. The 26-year-old will look to provide some healthy competition for Jordan Pickford in between the sticks.

Travers signing grade: C

Travers is not an exciting signing by any means, but a necessary one giving the departure of goalkeepers at Everton in the summer transfer window.

Adam Aznou (Bayern Munich)

Everton have signed Adam Aznou from reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich for a reported transfer fee of £8m. The 19-year-old left-back has signed with the Toffees on a four-year deal.

Aznou signing grade: B

Aznou should provide some healthy competition for Vitalii Mykolenko at left-back for Everton, and is clearly a very promising young talent.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Chelsea)

Everton have also completed the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for a reported transfer fee of £29m including add-ons. The English central midfield player has signed from fellow Premier League rivals Chelsea on a five-year deal.

Dewsbury-Hall signing grade: A

Dewsbury-Hall should come straight into the starting XI at Everton, and boasts a wealth of Premier League experience already, having played for both Chelsea and Leicester in the English top flight. At 26 years of age, the Toffees are buying a player about to enter his prime, and he will no doubt improve the team under Moyes.

Jack Grealish (Manchester City)

Perhaps Everton's standout signing of the summer transfer window so far is that of English winger Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from fellow Premier League side Manchester City.

Grealish signing grade: A

Grealish has proven Premier League quality and a winning mentality, having won so much silverware at City. He has already made a good impression by recording both assists in Everton's 2-0 win against Brighton in their first game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Reuben Gokah (Charlton)

Everton have also confirmed the signing of central defender Reuben Gokah from Charlton in the Championship.

Gokah signing grade: C

Gokah will initially join Everton's academy, and so is not expected to make an immediate impact in the first team.

Tom King (Wolves)

Everton have also signed Tom King for a nominal transfer fee. The Wales international goalkeeper has joined from fellow Premier League side Wolves.

King signing grade: C

King is expected to be third-choice goalkeeper behind both Pickford and Travers, but is still a worthy addition.

Everton transfer window rating: Grade B

The arrivals of Dewsbury-Hall and Grealish have the potential to push Everton into the top half of the table this season and the early form of the latter suggests that a place in Europe is on the cards, too. There are still question marks at the top of the pitch, though, but if Barry maximises his potential, then Everton could be on to a winner.
