David Moyes’ Everton will have to wait until next summer to sign Genoa defensive sensation Brooke Norton-Cuffy.
Brooke Norton-Cuffy’s future was a massive talking point throughout the recently concluded winter transfer window. He had multiple offers on his table from clubs across Europe, but the young full-back has decided to continue at Genoa for now.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Norton-Cuffy has decided to wait until the end of the season before considering a move away from Genoa. Everton, who were keen on signing him in the winter window, will now have to wait until the summer before making a move.
The 22-year-old was a part of the Arsenal youth setup. He went up the ranks at some pace, but couldn’t break into the first team. After multiple loan spells away from the club, he ended up joining Genoa in search of a more prominent role.
Norton-Cuffy decided against leaving Genoa in January
He has only gone from strength to strength since moving to Italy back in 2024. The 22-year-old full-back has established himself as one of their mainstays, and his impressive performances have resulted in a lot of interest.
Three Serie A clubs and Everton are beleived to be very keen on his signature. The Toffees were looking to add more depth to their backline, and Moyes felt the 22-year-old English defender could be an ideal fit for his system as well as their project.
However, they will have to wait until the summer before they can make an attempt to secure his services. His preference has always been to wait until the summer to consider his options.
After considering all the opportunities that were presented to him during the recently concluded transfer window, he decided to stay at Genoa to prioritise his game time. It certainly seems to be a sensible move, as winter moves often don’t give you the time needed to adjust to a different league and style of play.
