Everton is said to be ready to ‘hack’ the deal of Ipswich Town to sign Hayden Hackney, according to the transfer expert Mike Brown.
After he had arranged through the youth system of Middlesbrough, the 23-year-old made his first team debut in 2021. However, he initially had difficulty finding regular playing time at Riverside Stadium, so he went on loan to Scunthorpe United to play regularly and develop his career.
After his return, he has settled in recent years as an important player for the Boro. After he has shown a glimpse of his qualities in the championship, he attracted a lot of attention this summer.
On Soccer sinsider” Brown Says that Ipswich wanted to buy the Englishman, but the deal has been implemented and Everton is now prepared to secure his service to strengthen the engine room.
The player would like to take the step and play in the Premier League; That is why there is a very good chance that Everton could ‘hijack’ the deal of Ipswich.
The former scout also claims that Hackney is a ‘very talented’ player and Everton would be a good destination for him.

Brown said:
“Hayden Hackney is a very talented player. I think he is someone who could develop into a very good Premier League player, and what told me, he wants to set that step. It seems that the move to Ipswich has been through, so clubs will be set alert.
“Given the price involved, Everton believes that he is a player who is worth taking the chance. I think Everton would be a good destination for him, he is an improvement of what they have in the long term and would benefit from playing at that level. It is certainly a movement that I can see if they decide that he is worth the money.
Hackney is appreciated by around £ 10 million Transfer market And has been entered into the last two years of his current contract. That is why Middlesbrough would like to cash him in this summer to make the most profit from his departure.
The Englishman plays comfortably in the defensive midfield position and the box-to-box roll. Everton currently has Idrissa Gueye and James Garner as the only most important midfield options. Moreover, Carlos Alcaraz can offer coverage in this position if necessary, but it is more comfortable in the CAM role.
Tim Ioontbunam is another option, but he has not regularly played top football. That is why signing a new midfielder is an absolute necessity for Everton, and Hackney can be a smart acquisition if they buy it.
However, it becomes interesting to see if the Merseyside Club ultimately succeeds in this transfer window to strengthen the midfield department.
