  Toffees boss Sean Dyche has revealed that Dele has been offering advice to the club’s coaching staff during another enforced spell on the sidelines. He is, however, eager to get back onto the field as soon as possible and – while working on his fitness in Dubai – has posted a defiant “it’s not over until I win” message on social media.

  Dele is only under contract at Everton through to the summer of 2024, meaning that he faces a race against time when it comes to forcing his way into Dyche’s plans. His last appearance for the Toffees came way back on August 13, 2022 in a Premier League meeting with Aston Villa.
