Everton manager will not have ‘too much’ money to spendNeed for reinforcements underlined by three successive defeatsRafael Benítez has said Everton will not have “too much” money to spend in January but can improve by signing players with the right mentality rather than expensive price tags.
Benítez has discussed January’s transfer strategy with Everton’s director of
Football, Marcel Brands, and, while he has been assured there is more money available than this summer’s £1.7m outlay on Demarai Gray, it is unlikely to match the levels enjoyed by his predecessors under Farhad Moshiri. The need for improvements has been reinforced during a run of three successive
Premier League defeats without the injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Yerry Mina and André Gomes, all of whom remain absent for Tottenham’s visit on Sunday.
