Everton considers transfer for Lecce defender Tiago Gabriel amid uncertainty

Summary

Everton is reportedly tracking Lecce centre-back Tiago Gabriel ahead of the January transfer window. Despite having a measure of defensive discipline this season, with two wins, four draws, and two defeats, manager David Moyes faces challenges in optimizing squad depth amid ownership uncertainty. Gabriel, valued between £20.9m and £25.1m, is drawing interest from other clubs including Crystal Palace and AC Milan. Moyes has previously strengthened the squad but may need to be cautious with spending due to potential financial constraints. A decision on Gabriel will involve assessing immediate squad needs versus longer-term planning.
