Everton have had a really productive summer transfer window and their squad is significantly stronger than last season.
David Moyes signed nine new players this summer, with Jack Grealish the statement addition, joining on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
Grealish has already registered four assists for Everton, putting him top of the playmaking charts in the Premier League.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has also impressed since arriving from Club World Cup champions Chelsea in a £28m deal.
Thierno Barry, Tyler Dibling and Merlin Rohl are among the other notable additions, so clearly Everton’s squad value has dramatically increased from the 2024/25 campaign.
But how does it compare to the rest of the league?

Transfermarkt
Grealish is the second most valuable first-teamer, followed by Vitaliy Mykolenko, Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling, who all make the top five.
Everton’s low squad value is partly due to their average age
For a number of years, Everton’s average age has been one of the oldest across the entire Premier League.
The Friedkins changed the transfer policy this summer to combat that issue, with a focus on recruiting young talent to drive down the age.
Across the nine players signed, there was an average age of 24, so in the forthcoming windows, the squad value should increase pretty quickly.
In this PSR-climate, it’s almost a necessity to sign players below the age of 26 to ensure they have a sell-on value.
The likes of Adam Aznou, Dibling and Barry will all be big assets over the coming years as they develop under Moyes’ stewardship.
