Everton badly need a new right-back.
Nathan Patterson was given a rare start in the FA Cup clash against Sunderland, but a lack of action caught up with the Scotland international as he pulled up towards the end of the match.
Patterson might be loaned out regardless as Sevilla show interest, and Everton are now contemplating a move to sign Brooke Norton-Cuffy from Genoa as the need for a new right-back grows.
We’ve got no words… have you? 😡
Some terrible displays out there again

Everton looking to Serie A as Brooke Norton-Cuffy considered along with Emil Holm
Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports has now claimed that the 21-year-old is an option for Everton.
Norton-Cuffy has experience of English football, spending time with Chelsea as a youngster before moving to Arsenal’s Hale End academy.
However, he never made a senior appearance for the Gunners before a £1.7m move to Genoa materialised in August 2024.
Now, Everton could give the man born in Pimlico a chance to show Arsenal what they lost.
