Everton have utilised the transfer market like rookies in recent seasons, spending over half a billion since David Moyes left in 2013. They need to get it right this month to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
They’ve gone so crazy we’ve had to narrow down our rankings to only include players the Toffees have spent over £10m on. Otherwise, it would have been a list consisting of over 70 people. This means that some shrewd signings such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Demarai Gray have been left out.
Like our Manchester United piece, all prices are taken via Transfermarkt. The numbers in brackets are their original ranking when this was first written back in April 2022.
27) Oumar Niasse (£16m) (24)
Niasse has a genuine case for the worst Premier League transfer of all time.
26) Jean-Philippe Gbamin (£22.5m) (23)
Gbamin has more injuries than games played for Everton.
25) Cenk Tosun (£20m) (22)
Let’s keep this one short and simple: Tosun flopped in England.
24) Davy Klaassen (£24m) (21)
Just one of many mind-boggling deals to be seen here.
23) Yannick Bolasie (£26m) (20)
Bolasie was a baller for Crystal Palace. He played the game with flair and confidence and would mock defenders (especially Dejan Lovren) on a regular basis. As the cool kids say: the streets shall never forget.
But that was Palace and this is Everton. His spell at Goodison Park was forgettable at best. He scored twice in 32 and left for free in August 2021 after loan spells with Middlesbrough, Sporting, Anderlecht and Aston Villa.

22) Moise Kean (£24.75m) (19)
22-year-old Kean feels like he has been around for bloody ages. Everton spent a fair whack on him but will somehow make a profit when Juventus permanently sign him next July.
21) Morgan Schneiderlin (£20.7m) (18)
Another player who was great for a Premier League rival, only to flop at Goodison Park.
Schneiderlin swapped Southampton for Manchester United and was a bitter disappointment, perhaps showing that the grass is not always greener. Everton – and only Everton would do this – decided to splash out over £20m on the French defensive midfielder, who continued to regress before leaving for a measly £2m after three years on Merseyside.
20) Theo Walcott (£20m) (17)
Walcott is a very underrated Premier League player. It is fair to say that he…
