Everton are set to address a major problem in their squad, if their proposed move for Kenny Tete is confirmed.
The full-back has been at Fulham since 2020 and helped them to gain promotion back to the Premier League during his second campaign at the club.
Last season, the 29-year-old started just 21 Premier League games for Marco Silva’s side as a result of missing four months with a knee injury.
With his contract at Craven Cottage running out at the end of June, Tete is now set to join Everton on a free transfer.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – insists that it is a good bit of business from his former club.

‘Tete better than Walker for Everton’, says Wyness
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness revealed that he is more positive towards the signing of Tete than any potential move for Kyle Walker.
