Beijing time on March 13th news, the British media footballfancast wrote an analysis of the
England Premier Soccer League
Team Everton's transfer dealings, the article states that Everton's sale of Browning (Jiang Guangtai) to Guangzhou was an excellent deal for the club.
footballfancast reports that Everton have not performed well in the transfer market in recent years, with some transfer deals being ill-advised, especially in the last few seasons when Everton have spent over £100 million on transfer fees alone, but the club has been in the
England Premier Soccer League
The standings are yet hovering just above the relegation zone.
The article cites Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbemin, both of whom cost Everton £25 million when they joined the club, but Gomes is now valued at £18 million and has fallen out of favor in the team, while Gbemin is currently valued at just £8 million. Gbemin, who is no longer in Everton's plans, was loaned out to CSKA Moscow back in February. These two deals are just a few of the mistakes Everton have made in the transfer market over the past few seasons.
Everton have made very few satisfactory deals in transfers, but the deal in which they sold their own youth player, Browning (Jiang Guangtai), to the Guangzhou team, may be regarded as one of the club's excellent deals of the last few years.
Everton bid £4.1 million for the centre-back at the time, due to Jiang Guangtai's Chinese heritage, and the Chinese league places a high value on naturalized players with pedigree. At the time of his sale in 2019, Jiang Guangtai was valued at just £900,000, a deal that was significant for Everton, with Jiang's transfer fee alone amounting to 16% of Everton's total fee for players sold that season.
