Premier League club Everton have emerged as a surprise contender to sign Al-Shabab transfer target Josh Brownhill.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brownhill is currently a free agent after running down his contract with newly promoted Burnley. He has recently turned down moves to Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n

English clubs can no longer sign or loan players for a fee, whereas Saudi Arabia is one of the countries where the transfer window is still open<\/a>. However, since Brownhill is a free agent, he can join any club, even outside of the regular transfer window.<\/p>\n

Al-Shabab Close to Securing Josh Brownhill Transfer<\/h2>\n

According to reports, Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab have held talks with Josh Brownhill over a summer switch. Brownhill has seemingly given the green light, agreeing to join them on a two-year deal worth more than \u00a3100k-a-week.<\/p>\n

Al-Shabab, who are 25\/1 with football betting sites<\/a> to win the Saudi Pro League, are hopeful Brownhill will add much-needed quality to their midfield.<\/p>\n

The transfer, however, has yet to receive the final approval from the league. So, until that happens, there is the possibility of another team swooping in and prizing him away.<\/p>\n

Everton Plan Surprise Brownhill Swoop<\/h2>\n

David Moyes’ Everton have enjoyed a brisk start to the 2025\/26 Premier League season, winning two of their first three games. Alongside Liverpool and Chelsea, they are the only other Premier League team to win their last two matches.<\/p>\n

Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish and former Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been greatly responsible for their surge in performance. But sources say Everton are looking to add more dynamism to their midfield, with Josh Brownhill emerging as a transfer target.<\/p>\n

As a versatile box-to-box midfielder, Brownhill strikes the perfect blend of strong defensive attributes and attacking intuition. Last season, he registered 2.1 tackles and 1 interception per 90 minutes. Coming to attack, he chipped in with 24 goal involvements in the Championship, helping Burnley secure promotion.<\/p>\n
