Overview

• Everton and Kenny Tete have a verbal agreement on a three-year deal running until June 2028, with formalities set to be completed next week.
• Tete, 29, leaves Fulham as a free agent after making 119 appearances and scoring four goals during a five-year stint.
• The move fills Everton’s right-back void following Ashley Young’s departure and the unresolved future of captain Seamus Coleman.
• Manager David Moyes relied on makeshift solutions such as deploying centre-back Jake O’Brien in wide areas during the 2024/25 season.
• With 14 Netherlands caps, Tete brings top-flight experience and the versatility to play both in a traditional back four and as a wing-back.
