Everton is preparing to make a move for Ethan Wheatley, the 20-year-old striker contracted with Manchester United until 2028, who has only featured in three Premier League games. Despite limited first-team action, Wheatley scored three goals during his loan at Northampton Town last season, showing promise at lower leagues.
Standing 6 ft 2 in tall, Wheatley faces stiff competition at Manchester United where established forwards block his path to regular Premier League minutes. Everton could offer a quicker route to consistent playtime, which is likely motivating their pursuit.
The transfer won’t come cheap given Wheatley’s contract length and potential. Manchester United holds a strong negotiating position and may demand a premium or include clauses like buy-back options or performance-based incentives to protect their investment.
