    Live from Germany: Nørgaard & Johnston Targets, Ndiaye's Future, & Pre-Season Progress

    In this special international edition of the Royal Blue Podcast, Joe Thomas dials in from Everton's pre-season training camp in Germany to join Chris Beasley for a comprehensive update on the Blues' summer progress. Following a morale-boosting victory over Hamburg, Joe breaks down the standout performers and the glaring tactical gaps—specifically the desperate need for a specialist defensive midfielder and a new right-back. The pair discuss the club’s active pursuit of Brentford's Christian Nørgaard and Celtic's Alistair Johnston as sensible, short-term solutions. The conversation then turns to the intense speculation surrounding Illumin Ndiaye. After rejecting new contract offers and returning from extended leave, could a massive bid from a Champions League club or Saudi Arabia force Everton's hand before the transfer window shuts? Finally, they discuss why David Moyes needs to stop playing "square pegs in round holes" and the potential for a marquee "stardust" signing from the Friedkin Group. Learn more about your ad choices.
