As is his wont, David Moyes reportedly has his eye on another Championship star who is coming off a call-up for the U21 Euros for England: West Bromwich Albion's Tom Fellows. The interest appears to be somewhat longstanding, as Moyes inquired about the player in January.
The winger/attacking midfielder has been with the West Midlands club since he was 17, playing sporadically for their PL 2 side, and making appearances in both the FA and League Cups for the club in his first season, albeit in limited minutes.
He had a decent run in League Two with Crawley Town in 2022/23, although he failed to score and could not make his mark as a regular starter (he started just 24 of 39 matches that year).
His return to the Championship with his home club has been much stronger, as he's played in 82 matches (51 starts, including 36 last year), contributed to 27 goals (9 goals/18 assists), and, especially last season, proved himself to be among the league's top players. West Brom finished 9th in the Championship, but his performance earned him the call-up for the U21 Euros.
Fellows didn't play much at the tournament, coming on as a substitute for one match and playing just 28 minutes in England's 2-1 Group B loss to Germany on June 18, which they would avenge in the trophy-winning final just ten days later.
The winger, who'll turn 22 nine days from this writing, might not be up to the level of other standouts from that squad like Manchester City's James McAtee, another player Everton have had their eye on, or Ipswich Town's Omari Hutchinson (who reportedly rejected a £35 million move for the player from Brentford), but Moyes has had success in the past elevating younger players from the Championship and making them Premier League stars.
A move for Fellows could also be relatively low risk, as Transfermrkt has his value at roughly €10 million, a price that wouldn't break the bank. The question is whether he'd be ready to make the step up and be a regular starter, or if he'd need to be brought in slowly, making Fellows more of a depth piece in the immediate future at a position where instant impact is likely needed.
This isn't to say it's a move Everton shouldn't make, because the club needs depth all over the pitch, it's just that there would be concern about making him the sole savior at the position.
