Contract at Goodison Park running outWas expected to take on a new challengeToffees not giving up on midfielder yetWHAT HAPPENED?
The former England international appeared destined to sever ties with the Toffees this summer after making just 13 appearances for the Merseyside outfit on the back of his January 2022 move from Spurs. The 28-year-old midfielder has been contending with issues on and off the pitch.

Injury issues have proved difficult to shake, with Dele forced back under the knife in January as he underwent surgery on a long-standing groin problem. He is still working his way back from that operation, with his contract at Goodison Park running out.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dele was expected to seek a fresh start in 2024, but reports that Everton are “keen to take another look at him in pre-season”. The problem there is that a large fee must be paid to Spurs if a new deal is put in place.
WHAT NEXT?
Everton and Tottenham are said to have held talks in a bid to “find a solution”, but nothing has been agreed as yet and Dele is currently enjoying a summer break. He has headed off to Japan with partner Cindy Kimberly, with training sessions being taken in while unwinding in the Far East.
