Everton vs Chelsea in the English Premier League 2022 is set to be one of the biggest matches of the season. Chelsea, who finished third last season, will be aiming to bounce back after a disappointing preseason. Their manager, Thomas Tuchel, has come under heavy criticism over recent performances. The Blues will have a tough run of games ahead. Next Sunday, they face Tottenham, Leicester, and West Ham, while the week after they play Liverpool and West Ham.
Chelsea will look to extend their Champions League berth in the final weeks of 2021-22. The change of ownership has given Chelsea a renewed sense of optimism as they look to mount a challenge against Manchester City and Liverpool. Meanwhile, Everton are planning for the start of the 2022/23 season without Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Liverpool signing Richarlison
Richarlison has told friends that he is keen to join Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League club. The Brazilian scored 10 goals in 30 Premier League games last season and is currently under contract with Everton until 2022. Tottenham have been interested in signing the Brazilian, as they are looking to strengthen their midfield. However, it is unclear what the fee will be for Richarlison.
Earlier this summer, Chelsea were linked with signing the Everton striker. The club also signed five-time European Cup winner Casemiro from Real Madrid for PS70m. Meanwhile, Liverpool have broken tradition and signed Brazilian striker Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus. He will be partnered with Darwin Nunez, a PS85m signing from Benfica.
Tottenham Hotspur sign Ivan Perisic
Perisic has enjoyed a successful career, having won the German league with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. The Croatia international also scored in the World Cup. He played as a winger for Inter but can also play as a second striker or attacking midfielder. Spurs are expected to have a busy summer and it looks like Perisic could be one of the new arrivals.
The Croatian winger has signed a two-year deal with Tottenham. He was close to signing for Manchester United and Arsenal in 2017, but has now joined Tottenham on a free transfer. Prior to joining Spurs, the winger was at Inter Milan for seven years. He also spent a season on loan with Bayern Munich. During his time at Inter, he won the Serie A and the Coppa Italia. In addition, he also won the Italian Super Cup.
Spurs sign Fraser Forster
Spurs have signed another free agent, this time a goalkeeper. Fraser Forster, who left Southampton in the summer, will be Tottenham’s backup to Hugo Lloris. The move is likely to increase the competition for the No. 1 spot at White Hart Lane.
The English international is a two-year deal. The 29-year-old has played for Southampton and England. He has experience in the Premier League, having made 134 appearances for the Saints. During his time with Southampton, he also kept 42 clean sheets. Before joining Southampton, he spent two seasons at Stockport County and was part of the Three Lions squad at Euro 2016.
The English keeper has been linked with two Premier League clubs. The Premier League is a tough place for a goalkeeper, but Tottenham are keen to make their new addition a permanent fixture. Forster has played 19 times in the Premier League this season. The club has the option to buy him. Spurs are expected to make another goalkeeper signing in the summer as they are in the market for two.
West Ham sign Djed Spence
After leaving the Fulham academy, West Ham have signed Djed Spence, a young English defender. The 23-year-old has already been named in the PFA and EFL Championship Teams of the Season. He is also a member of England’s Under-21 squad and made his debut against Albania in March 2022. The youngster has also played in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Spence has been linked with a move to the Premier League due to his ability to play in various positions. While his best position is at right back, he can also play on the wing and on the left. This versatility has drawn interest from Premier League clubs, including Everton and West Ham United.
West Ham sign Reims defender Wout Faes
Leicester City are close to completing a deal to sign Belgium international centre-back Wout Faes. The deal is worth PS15million and is part of a swap deal with Marcos Alonso. The two clubs have agreed personal terms for the player. West Ham have also signed Reims defender Wout Fae, who has been out of the Premier League for the last two seasons. Faes has made 75 appearances for Reims since joining in 2020. Previously, he played for Heerenveen, Excels and Oostende.
Reims fans will remember Wout Faes’ heroics from last season, and will be pleased to see him at the London Stadium. The defender was a key player for Reims last season, and was rated in the top ten of Ligue 1’s defence. His four goals last season helped Reims win the championship, and his talent is well-appreciated at the club.
Everton sign Reims defender Wesley Fofana
In Premier League news 2022, Everton have signed Belgian defender Wesley Fofana from Reims for around PS15 million. Fofana, who will sign on a permanent deal, will join the club next month. Reims had been interested in signing the defender for some time. Leicester City had an option to sign him permanently for PS14 million, but the club were not in a position to go through with the deal. As a result, Leicester City have made another signing, a defender, who is expected to replace Fofana in the next couple of seasons.
Fofana is a left-back who plays in France and is an outstanding defender. He can also play as a centre-back. Fofana has played for Reims and France’s national team. He has an impressive record as a defender, netting goals and assists.
Man City sign Richarlison
Richarlison is a dazzling talent who is usually deployed on the left wing. His speed and shiftiness make him an excellent attacking option. He also boasts an attacking mindset and a great desire to take on the defense. His versatility in attacking positions means that he can play at left wing, right wing, or striker depending on the game’s situation.
Richarlison prefers to play on the left wing, but he can also play on the right. With Harry Kane battling injury problems, Tottenham are keen on finding a strong back-up for the England captain. Although he isn’t a perfect striker, he has the ability to contribute to a stacked forward line.
Man City beat Chelsea
The first goal of the game comes with the score 0-0. City are pressing forward, but Chelsea’s wingbacks are holding firm. The visitors look to counterattack but are unable to create any clear chances. The game is in the balance, and Man City will likely have a better shot to win.
This was Manchester City’s 12th consecutive win and extends their lead over Chelsea to 13 points. The win was secured thanks to a strike from Kevin De Bruyne with 20 minutes to play. The goal was assisted by Raheem Sterling, who exchanged passes with De Bruyne and cut the ball back for Ilkay Gundogan. Despite the narrow margin of victory, Chelsea lost their last game to Brentford, after winning six in a row. Toni Rudiger scored a long-range goal for the Blues.
Chelsea must take more attacking risks. Lukaku and Ziyech are struggling to combine with each other. A change in forward positions will be necessary.
West Ham sign Richarlison
Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has confirmed the signing of Richarlison from Everton for PS60million. The Brazil international spent four years at Goodison Park and one season at Watford. He has only played off the bench for Spurs in their opening four games. Richarlison has already come under fire for his juggling after the game.
Everton have signed James Tarkowski, Dwight McNeil and Amadou Onana. The Toffees also loaned Dele Alli out to Besiktas and signed Idrissa Gueye from PSG for PS8m. Meanwhile, Newcastle are expected to spend big this summer and have signed Nick Pope, Matt Targett, and Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad.
