Angus Kinnear’s arrival could bring more than just a knowledgeable football mind in Everton’s case.
A summer overhaul is taking place in the Everton squad, but also behind the scenes.
The Friedkin Group have been busy as Everton have poached Kinnear and Nick Hammond off Leeds United.
This will provide a wealth of knowledge to a board that looks set for exciting plans this summer.
But along with his footballing mind, Kinnear has a contact who could help land an extraordinary double deal.

Everton’s Angus Kinnear has strong relationship with Daniel Levy
With the Toffees looking to build on the tools they’ve gathered this summer, ambition now needs to be brought to fruition.
The preparation has certainly been put in for this summer, as Moyes didn’t sanction more signings to save money for this upcoming window.
This has ultimately led to Everton having a strong budget to use, and Kinnear provides an exciting contact to help with transfers.

According to The Athletic, Kinnear was key to Leeds United loaning Everton target Manor Solomon because of his relationship with Daniel Levy at Tottenham, who has a £650m net worth, and not only could it help the Toffees sign Solomon, but also another name.

Levy is certainly an exciting contact to have in the game, and with Everton’s strategy this summer, it works out perfectly.
This strategy being the target of Solomon, but also a possible return for Richarlison.
Spurs are listening to offers for Richarlison, and Kinnear might be able to swindle a bargain as opposed to Tottenham fans wanting £50m for Richarlison.
A double deal from Spurs could work nicely with two Premier League-proven attackers arriving, and Kinnear has the key to making it happen.
Solomon’s best Premier League season (22/23) Richarlison’s best Premier League season (19/20)
Appearances 19 36
Goals 4 13
Chances created per 90 0.96 0.99
Duels won 47 277
Dribble success % 55.9% 55%
It’s a huge advantage that David Moyes must think about utilising in what could be a game-changer this summer.
Although other teams will show interest, Levy’s relationship with Kinnear could give Everton the edge as the Spurs chairman will no doubt want to get rid of the duo as the club now prepares for the Champions League.
Everton fans are very impressed with Kinnear, and securing this deal would be the cherry on top of an incredible impression.
