Everton fans have watched from afar as chaos has unfolded around rivals Liverpool and Trent Alexander-Arnold.The boyhood Scouser – decorated in large red murals around the city as the ‘local boy done good’ – is on the verge of securing a high-profile free transfer to Real Madrid, leaving Anfield for absolutely nothing in a bitter pull to swallow for the Reds of the city and beyond.As it turns out, a key figure at Everton could now be set to join the England right-back, 26, on the next chapter of his journey.

However, according to Alan Nixon via Patreon (6 April), Vaughan – who is set to quit his Everton role after two-and-a-half years back at his old side – could join Alexander-Arnold’s team of advisers on a full-time basis in a “shock” move.It would be a remarkable move for some to fathom, as the Toffees are forced to find a replacement appointment to come in and oversee their loan system.Dan Friedkin has yet more appointments to make at Everton (Credit: Imago)Friedkins continue to have their work cut outEverton supporters are enjoying what they’re seeing on the pitch these days, especially under David Moyes – who has inspired a much-improved record with just two league defeats, albeit with six draws.
The Toffees fought back to gather a draw with Arsenal on Saturday (5 April) as Mikel Arteta returned to his old home at Goodison for the final time, just three days after the latest controversy-ridden Merseyside derby at Anfield.Alexander-Arnold did not feature in that one through injury, but is now set to take Vaughan along as he heads for the bright lights of the 15-time European champions – who Arteta’s Arsenal attempt to stop making it 16 starting this Tuesday (8 April).David Moyes – Everton return recordWins4Draws6Losses3(All competitions)At Bramley-Moore Dock, The Friedkin Group have already secured several appointments including that of Angus Kinnear, who will join from Leeds United.
They have plenty of work to do to reshape their staff roster how they see fit, with increasing expectations placed on their shoulders ahead of a more successful Everton chapter moving forward.The post Everton chief ready to quit in 'Shock' team-up with Trent Alexander-Arnold - report appeared first on Goodison News..
