With seven acquisitions made throughout the summer transfer season, Everton can now officially close the window.
On deadline day, Kevin Thelwell gave Sean Dyche two further signings after he had informed the media that Everton was finished for the window.
And the addition of Armando Broja to Everton on a season-long loan from Chelsea thrilled the football director there.
But there was still one more transaction to be done on Friday, when Everton finalized Orel Mangala’s second loan arrangement.
The midfield player is traveling from Lyon, where he will run with Jake O’Brien, his old Ligue 1 colleague.
Following the events on Friday, John Textor has now released a statement amid the takeover rumors at Goodison Park.
What John Textor said about Everton’s deadline day business
Not everything at Everton was new; on deadline day, Neal Maupay left for Marseille after sitting out the first two matches.
Naturally, though, player acquisitions will take center stage as the Blues attempt to enhance Dyche’s team for the balance of the campaign.
And there was one deadline day signing which interested the potential future Everton owner with his Lyon side sanctioning Mangala’s loan exit.
Between Textor’s prospective new team, Everton, and his present club, Lyon, two trades have already been completed this summer.
And the American billionaire offered his opinions on the midfielder’s transfer after Mangala arrived on Merseyside.
“Orel, congratulations. You look fantastic in blue! He posted Everton’s news on Instagram Stories, sharing it with his followers.
A potentially interesting clue that Everton supporters would have loved.
John Textor remains in exclusivity period to buy Everton
After deadline day, Everton’s prospective purchase offer from Textor will be the center of attention, rather than the pitch.
Textor has now started exclusive negotiations to further his takeover offer for Everton following his unsuccessful attempts in the previous few months.
Furthermore, the agreements reached by Everton and Lyon would undoubtedly be interesting reading for supporters of the Blues.
However, the message he recently shared with Mangala, in which he states that he looks amazing in blue, is only the icing on the cake.
