Everton have Timothy Castagne on their right-back wishlist | OneFootball

Everton have Fulham defender Timothy Castagne on their right-back shortlist, according to The Athletic.

With long-serving club captain Seamus Coleman recently departing and Nathan Patterson largely out of favour, the Toffees are actively seeking a new right-back.

With over 150 Premier League appearances and nearly 70 senior caps for Belgium, Everton view Castagne as a pragmatic acquisition who can address a pressing need without significant financial outlay.

Since joining Fulham from Leicester City in 2023, the ‘very impressive‘ 30-year-old has earned a reputation as a reliable defender.

His versatility – operating as a traditional right-back, wing-back, or even cover at left-back – makes him a valuable tactical option.

Castagne’s opportunities at Fulham have been subject to rotation – he started just over half of the 38 Premier League games last season.

Everton are prepared to promise a guaranteed starting role to entice the defender to Merseyside.

Castagne has just one year remaining on his contract, so Fulham may be willing to sanction a departure to avoid losing him for free next summer.

Everton also have Daniel Munoz on their list of options. Crystal Palace may part with the Colombian following the arrivals of Oscar Mingueza and Anan Khalaili.

The Toffees are keen to bring in a new striker and have been linked with Liam Delap, who they previously targeted before his move to Chelsea.

With pre-season complete after a 1-1 draw against Lille, Everton have limited time to finalise any transfer business before their 2026/27 curtain-raiser against Palace.
