Everton considers Fulham defender Kenny Tete as a transfer target
Summary

Everton is evaluating a potential move for Fulham defender Kenny Tete as the club continues its search for a long-term successor at right back. The club has struggled to find a consistent starter in that position since Seamus Coleman suffered a significant injury in 2017. Recent recruitment efforts, including moves for Guéla Doué and Daniel Muñoz, have not yielded a signing. Tete previously came close to joining Everton on a free transfer last summer before ultimately signing a two-year extension with his current club. The 30-year-old has played for Ajax, Olympique Lyonnais, and Fulham throughout his professional career. Everton currently aims to address its defensive depth before the transfer window closes.
