Moyes talks about Draper: Although we are at a competitive disadvantage, the transfer market is changing rapidly

On May 24, Drapp is currently playing for Ipswich, who has dropped into the Championship. There is a 30 million pound termination fee clause in the contract. Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle United are all interested in competing. Coach Moyes admitted that Everton was slightly disadvantaged in the competition, but promised that if he joined, he would ensure his position as the main center next season.

Moyes said: "We have communicated with Drapp. Although he has contacted 3-4 clubs, we still have the opportunity to state the team's plans. Although he is at a competitive disadvantage, the transfer market is changing rapidly."

At the same time, Everton is also evaluating the possibility of signing Liverpool's 19-year-old winger Dock. If he succeeds, he will become the first player to transfer directly from Liverpool to Everton since Gary Abright in 1992. However, the Red Army valued it 30 million pounds, and Everton has not yet expressed whether it matches it. Dock was loaned to Middlesbrough this season and performed well, but suffered surgery in a thigh injury in January. His transfer fee was only 600,000 pounds when he joined Liverpool from the Celtics in 2022. Crystal Palace and Ipswich's offer of 15 million pounds and 16 million pounds respectively this winter were both rejected.
