Summary

In the Championship opener, Burnley and West Ham United drew 2-2 on August 17. Everton manager David Moyes attended the match, possibly to scout Burnley defender Kyle Walker. While Burnley mounted a late comeback, Walker had a challenging performance, drawing concerns about his suitability for the Premier League. His decline is evident as he has recorded low tackling and duel success rates. Moyes is reportedly seeking a right-back to replace Seamus Coleman, indicating Walker may not be the right choice for Everton.
