Everton defender Jake O’Brien specially took to social media as a high-profile Goodison Park exit has been confirmed.
The Republic of Ireland international was signed for big money in the summer but was an afterthought under Sean Dyche.
However, since David Moyes’ arrival, he’s been among the first names on the team sheet and has thrived at right-back.

The Friedkin Group are making grand plans at Everton for next season
Toffees fans have every reason to be delighted as The Friedkin Group swiftly are laying the groundwork for a transformative 2025/26 season.
After years of financial turmoil and relegation scraps under Farhad Moshiri, the Friedkins’ takeover brings stability and ambition.
Their refinancing of the club’s debt into a manageable mortgage eases cash flow, while the imminent move to the 52,888-capacity Bramley-Moore Dock stadium promises a revenue surge—projected to rival top-six clubs.
The appointment of Moyes, a steady hand with Everton roots, paired with the Friedkins’ multi-club expertise from AS Roma, suggests a cohesive strategy.
For fans weary of mediocrity, this blend of financial security, infrastructure, and footballing intent feels like a long-overdue turning point.
