Gibson won’t sign new deal, could leave Everton in January

Lewis Gibson has an uncertain future at Everton. The 19-year-old is out of contract in July and isn’t keen to put pen to paper on an extension due to a lack of first-team opportunities. Gibson has interest from a number of clubs in January too, so Everton have a real battle on their hands to keep him on Merseyside.

Gibson joined Everton from Newcastle in 2017 and has yet to make an appearance at senior level. He’s featured 37 times for the u23s and will have been hoping for a callup this season after Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams and Matthew Pennington all left during the summer.
