Premier League
Sevilla FC is facing the final days of the transfer market with one eye on sales and the other on signings. The big headline at this stage is Juanlu Sánchez, a youth product who is close to sealing his transfer to Napoli, a move that will force the Seville club to react immediately in the market.
In this context, a new target has emerged on Antonio Cordón's agenda: Nathan Patterson, the right-back from Everton and one of Scottish football's most promising talents.
The Andalusian team, in need of balancing its books, has been forced to part ways with some of its young talents developed in the academy. With Juanlu already on his way to Serie A, leaving a gap on the right flank that the club cannot neglect, the sporting management has intensified the search for a replacement who combines youth, potential, and affordable cost.
Patterson is highly favored by Sevilla's sporting direction
In this list of options, including names like Julián Araujo, Martín Ortega, or Yukhym Konoplya, Nathan Patterson has surged strongly. The 23-year-old player, who joined Everton in 2022 from Rangers for €14 million, has struggled to establish himself in the Premier League, largely due to injuries. However, when available, he has shown qualities of a full-back with pace, power, and offensive ability, attributes that align perfectly with Sevilla's requirements.
According to Skysports, Everton would be willing to let him go on loan. The Toffees' manager, David Moyes, does not consider him a priority in his plans and has even chosen to convert a center-back like Jake O'Brien to cover the right side while waiting for new additions. This situation opens up a market opportunity for Nervión, allowing them to secure a Scottish international with 23 caps at a low cost.
Although Patterson is still recovering from a hernia that has kept him sidelined in recent weeks, Sevilla believes that once he overcomes his physical issues, he could be a reliable reinforcement. Furthermore, the move would have a dual benefit: covering Juanlu's imminent departure with a young player with growth potential, who could appreciate in value in the future.

With Napoli pressing hard to take the Seville youth player and the club obligated to generate income, all signs point to Patterson being the big last-minute move. Nervión is gearing up, once again, for a transfer window closure full of tension but also with the hope of having found in the Scot the solution for a key position in García Pimienta's lineup.
The deal is in its early stages, but at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, there is full conviction that Nathan Patterson could become Sevilla's new right-back, a signing that would allow them to look to the future with more peace of mind.
