Police have confirmed that the former Everton player arrested on suspicion of child sex offences will not face charges.

 

Greater Manchester Police told the Mirror that the 33-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will face no further action after the investigation that began in June 2021.

 

A spokesman told the paper: “The investigation team and Crown Prosecution Service have been working together and reached the decision that the evidence available at this time does not reach the threshold set out on the Code for Crown Prosecutors.

 

“Greater Manchester Police is committed to investigating allegations to secure the best possible outcomes for all involved and will continue to work with partner agencies to ensure individuals are supported throughout investigations and beyond.”

Everton have largely enjoyed a successful summer, but regarding their vacant winger position, that role has yet to be filled.

 

After all, we at Everton.News were reliably told that Jesper Lindstrom is not a winger, thus meaning that the only reinforcement made in that area has been to return Jack Harrison for another loan.

More is needed before the window’s conclusion, and Sean Dyche will be well aware.

 

Therefore, it’s positive to see progress being made.

 

The latest on Everton’s pursuit of Largie Ramazani

Everton have shown interest in Largie Ramanzani throughout this window, by all accounts, but only now do reports seem to be circulating to suggest that the Toffees are preparing for a move.

• The latest comes courtesy of TEAMtalk, and they claim: ‘Everton are considering a move for Largie Ramazani before the transfer window closes and TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal the Almeria star’s stance on a potential move.’

They then outline how the player feels about the potential switch: ‘TEAMtalk sources close to the situation have revealed that Ramazani would be open to joining Everton should they come in for him this summer.
