Everton may offer the 32-cap star, who Sean Dyche criticized in 2019, a short-term contract.
Everton won’t likely benefit much from the open January transfer market since the teams must still exercise financial caution.

After being docked ten points earlier in the season, the Toffees rallied well, winning four straight games against Newcastle United, Burnley, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea. Nevertheless, their position was perilous.
After that run, things took a turn for the worst, with three straight league defeats raising concerns about Sean Dyche (Tottenham Hotspurs, Manchester City, and Wolves).
Owing to the bad run, some additions in January are desired; these will almost certainly be low-cost or loan arrivals. This clarifies the reported change for Jesse Lingard.
Everton may extend an offer to Lingard for a short-term contract in January, according to talkSPORT. The 32-cap England international’s seven-month jobless streak would come to an end with the move.
Because of their financial limitations, the Goodison Park team would not be able to pay Lingard a large salary, but they may provide him the opportunity to play in the Premier League once more.
However, Alan Myers, who stated on X that he doesn’t think the relocation would materialize, has called into question the link.
Saying “No, from what I understand,” he answered a fan.
Although there may be interest in the England international right now, Dyche wasn’t always a fan of Lingard, so this move is quite unexpected.
In 2019, Dyche was the Burnley manager and Lingard was a player at Manchester United. According to TNT Sports, Dyche reacted in this way after the then-United attacker won a penalty that he thought was extremely soft.
“It bothers me when players lose their balance when they are touched on the shoulder, but that is a reality of modern football.” Not that he does it all the time, mind you. However, these guys are strong; I’m not sure why their legs don’t function.
But since this was five years ago, Dyche will need all the support he can get because Everton is still in dire straits financially in January.
