Ørjan Nyland is currently a free agent after leaving Sevilla at the end of last season, but that situation may not last much longer following his impressive performances for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper produced a series of outstanding displays against some of the world’s best attacking players and played an important role in helping Norway reach the quarter-finals of the tournament. His performances attracted widespread attention and have increased interest in his services ahead of the new season.
Everton join race for Nyland
In recent weeks, Nyland has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Leeds among the clubs reportedly interested in signing him. However, according to Sporten, Everton have also emerged as a potential destination for the experienced goalkeeper.
Nyland is regarded as a high-quality goalkeeper, and his experience is viewed as a major asset. Everton believe he could provide strong competition and reliable cover for Jordan Pickford while adding valuable experience to the squad.
Decision on future expected soon
The report states that Everton have already made contact with Nyland’s representatives as they explore the possibility of bringing him to the club during this transfer window. Discussions could gather pace over the coming weeks as the Toffees assess their options in the goalkeeping department.
Because Nyland is a free agent, interested clubs are not under immediate pressure to complete a transfer, allowing more time for negotiations to develop. The goalkeeper is also expected to take his time before deciding on the next step in his career, carefully considering the opportunities available before committing to a new club.
Following his impressive World Cup campaign, Nyland has enhanced his reputation and could now have several attractive options to choose from before the new season begins.
