News about Seamus Coleman

Coleman, 35, has been at Goodison Park since 2009 and though currently out with a calf issue the Irishman remains a valuable influence around the dressing-room.

LEWIS STEELE AND MIKE KEEGAN: At first there was silence. Deathly, funereal silence. In the poky Goodison Park dressing room Everton's players sat with heads bowed, stunned at what had transpired. With 87 minutes gone, they had looked set for a morale-boosting first victory of the season in front of a delighted, raucous crowd, leading a tepid Bournemouth by two goals to nil.

LEWIS STEELE: This is a mistreated club where time has stood still - certainly off the pitch with a carousel of chaos at board level in recent years - but one for whom a brighter future awaits on the horizon. On this particular morning there are blue skies but, still, gloomy clouds often congregate above the stunning new docklands stadium. While there are green shoots of positivity - which we will come on to - Everton are still the Premier League's most uncertain club.

Everton have announced the £17m capture of Irish centre-back Jake O'Brien after the 23-year-old signed a four-year contract at Goodison Park following his move from Ligue 1 side Lyon. O'Brien - who won his first Ireland cap against Hungary in June, playing alongside Everton captain Seamus Coleman in a 2-1 win - is the club's fifth signing of the summer following the loan return of Leeds winger Jack Harrison and arrivals of midfielder Tim Iroegbunam and forwards Iliman Ndiaye and Jesper Lindstrom.

It's a little less than a month until the new Premier League season kicks off on August 16 and clubs around England will be looking to get their preparations sorted in time for the 2024-25 season. But a lot is set to happen between now and the first game of the season. While the dust is only just settling on what was an enthralling European Championship, managers, coaches and players have a lot to prepare for, with teams also right in the thick of a summer transfer window, which is yet to really catch fire. Among that, teams will be setting off on pre-season tours to Asia, America and southern Europe, with Premier League clubs set to clock up approximately 190,593 miles of travel (as the crow flies) travelling between games during the off-season.

Seamus Coleman is edging closer to signing a new deal at Everton to take him into a 16th season at the Merseyside club. Though nothing is signed yet, Mail Sport understands talks are going well and heading in a positive direction, with the Everton captain keen to commit to what will be the club's final season at Goodison Park. The full back signed for Everton in 2009 for a meagre £60,000 and has made 422 appearances for them, with a club record 364 of those in the Premier League.

Everton have delivered an update on injured midfielder Dele Alli, as the Toffees announce they have offered their captain Seamus Coleman a deal to extend his contract by one year.  The club have also confirmed a one-year contract extension has also been offered to Ashley Young following the conclusion of his current deal this summer.  Meanwhile, the Toffees have also chosen to activate an extension clause in Idrissa Gana Gueye's contract, which will see the former Paris Saint-Germain star stay at Goodison Park until June 2025.

Everton club captain Seamus Coleman says it is hard to walk away from something you love and has admitted he is 'having a think' on signing a contract extension, with the Irish defender's deal set to expire next month. The Toffees have offered Coleman, who was signed for a paltry £60,000 from Sligo Rovers in 2009, a new deal and the 35-year-old is not minded to leave Goodison Park just yet especially when he is still a pivotal member of the squad. 'The club means everything to me,' he said, speaking to Everton's official website. 'I suppose I live and breathe it like everyone else. It's been a hell of a ride - the last two or three years - and it's not a case that you just turn up for work, go home and forget about it.

Being manager of Everton is like 'juggling sand', according to boss Sean Dyche who also compared trying to stop the endless negative noise at the club to 'putting your fingers in the dam'. The Toffees won their first home Merseyside Derby since 2010 with a 2-0 win over Liverpool on Wednesday but the club is still hamstrung by financial crises and a protracted takeover saga with the Premier League at odds with prospective American owners 777 Partners at odds. Five senior players are out of contract in the summer including club captain Seamus Coleman, impressive midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye, plus experienced heads Ashley Young , Andre Gomes and former England star Dele Alli . Two others, Jack Harrison and Arnaut Danjuma, are only on loan. Transfer business in the last few windows has been extremely limited, with Everton dealing mainly in cheap deals and loans in order to balance the financial books. That is likely to continue this summer and Everton might be forced to sell a key asset to help cut losses after the latest set of accounts showed they were £89.1million in the red.

Another enthralling weekend of Premier League action came to an end, with Manchester City and Arsenal a close match. After Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Brighton earlier Sunday, the goalless draw at the Etihad promised that the club remained at the top of the standings with just nine games remaining. Newcastle, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, and Tottenham all won crucial victories away from the league's summit.

TOM PRENTKI AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: Everton's season is going from bad to worse after the club tied a season low of 12 Premier League games without a win, with uncertainty on the pitch threatening to escalate things even more. Seamus Coleman's late goal was enough to put on a poor showing from Sean Dyche's side, who barely deserved a point. Bournemouth led to Dominic Solanke's 16th goal of the season before Neto's intervention in the 91st minute left the Toffees stuck in the middle of it. Despite the Premier League now taking longer than six months to approve the agreement, Majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri this week tried to assure supporters that the protracted takeover of the club by 777 Partners will continue to flourish and will see a promising future for the club.

LEWIS STEELE AT GOODISON PARK: The Toffees have already been fined ten points for a £124.5 million loss relating to a previous accounting period that ended in 2021-22. The club is now undergoing an appeals process after finding that it was overspent by £19.5 million.

Seamus Coleman's stunned reaction to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's red card in the club's FA Cup third round match against Crystal Palace has been shown in a recent video. Despite referee Chris Kavanagh's refusal to allow the competition to proceed without even awarding a free kick, Calvert-Lewin was sent off for a challenge in the 78th minute of the 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park. After a lengthy talk with VAR Craig Pawson and watching the incident on the touchline monitor, Kavanagh changed his decision.

Fans and commentators have slammed the decision to give Dominic Calvert-Lewin a red card in their FA Cup match against Crystal Palace. Following a VAR review, the striker was sent home after a sliding challenge on Nathaniel Clyne in which he appeared to win the ball but had no contact with him. Referee Chris Kavanagh was asked to check the monitor for a possible red card, resulting in the Toffees striker being dismissed with 11 minutes remaining to play. Fans have sluggish, while Everton captain Seamus Coleman has defended the call following a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park.

STEELE STEELE AT LIVERPOOL CATHEDRAL: It was a rainy, drained afternoon at Liverpool Cathedral, but the day was brightened by the number of royal blue ties on display - and the colorful, moving lives of those who adored Bill Kenwright. There are several. Colorful and powerful is also a way to describe the man who invented the West End theatre scene, made several films, helmed Everton FC for two decades, and campaigned for revenge for Hillsborough victims. This memorial service in Manchester garnered touching tributes from family members, as well as club captain Seamus Coleman and Margaret Aspinall, the former chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group.

GOODISON PARK STEELE'S EVE is a footballer who plays for soccer. Everton stole a march on ascendant Newcastle as their siege mentality continued to pay dividends following a 10-point deduction earlier this month. In the second half, the Toffees scored three late goals, and they were given a helping hand thanks to two major mistakes from Kieran Trippier. Sean Dyche's side has been booted out of the relegation zone for the first time since being given a harsh punishment.

Fans of Everton have been asking answers for a "complete appalling" situation outside Goodison Park last night, with a'very scary crush' at turnstiles leaving children in tears. Fans of Everton's Carabao Cup match against Burnley on Wednesday night were found bottlenecked at turnstiles, with reports that digital tickets for season ticket holders were not scanning. At kick-off, huddled masses began to form along Bullens Road, Goodison Road, and Gwladys Street, with many people missing the game, which Everton defeated 3-0.

Everton boss Sean Dyche and his club captain Seamus Coleman paid their respects to Bill Kenwright by laying down a wreath outside Goodison Park after the former chairman's death at the age of 78. Kenwright died in August after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his liver, leaving the Merseyside club in mourning as a slew of sporting figures paid their respects. Farhad Moshiri was one of the names to pay tribute to Kenwright's death, although Everton's rivals Liverpool also rallied to him after his death, and now manager Dyche and his captain have joined the names in a symbolic gesture.

After Bill Kenwright's death, Farhad Moshiri paid a loving tribute to him. Kenwright, 78, had surgery to remove a tumor from his liver in August. Complications during surgery culminated in him spending a lengthy period of hospitalization before returning home two weeks ago. On Tuesday evening, Everton revealed that Kenwright, who first joined the board at Goodison Park in 1989, died peacefully on Monday, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

On Friday, Seamus Coleman led a delegation of senior Everton workers to the funeral of a lifelong Toffees fan. Michael Jones, 26, of Kirkby, Merseyside, died in August after suffering head injury while working at Everton's new stadium in Bramley Moore Dock. Everton captain Coleman was present at the funeral in Kirkby on Friday alongside interim chief executive Colin Chong, ambassadors Graham Stuart and Ian Snodin, and club chaplain Reverend Henry Corbett.

DOMINIC KING: It was right at the end of a 30-minute discussion that Seamus Coleman revealed. The conversation had been brought back to Finch Farm's indoor pitch, and Everton's captain had a new perspective. We had met to discuss a significant milestone in his career. Coleman had just turned 10 years old as an Everton player, and what a journey it had been for him: he came from Sligo, riven with homesickness, but he later became one of the Premier League's best right-backs. He hadn't changed his values after being in this unforgiving industry for so long. He is a family man who protects his privacy and loves nothing more than being back in the fishing village of Killybegs, away from the razzmatazz. Coleman had hoped that retirement would see him leave Merseyside for good.

DOMINIC KING Seamus Coleman has agreed to a new Everton deal, and his stay at Goodison Park will be extended to a memorable fifteen years. Coleman, Everton's captain, had to miss the last few weeks of his most recent campaign after fracturing his knee ligaments, but his presence behind the scenes of galvanizing players and reminding people what was at stake was vital. Soon after Coleman was injured in May, Sean Dyche announced that Everton would find a way to keep him at the club until the football season ended, and that has been the case, with terms being decided on a 12-month contract extension.

Everton has announced that Tom Davies will leave the club after the midfielder turned down the possibility of a new deal. Davies, captain Seamus Coleman, and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan were among three first team players offered new contracts earlier this month, according to Toffees. Davies has chosen to withdraw from the invitation to remain at Goodison Park, with the 24-year-old prioritizing regular first team football.

ALEX IWOBI has promised that this Everton squad would not take the team out of the top flight after being inspired by Seamus Coleman. Everton's captain sustained a season-ending knee injury at Leicester, but he has not let being on crutches restrict what he can do around Finch Farm or elsewhere, and he has held several pep talks with him. Coleman was vocal before going to Wolves, where Yerry Mina scored the first Premier League goal in Everton's history to snatch a point where all seemed lost and allowed them to keep things in their own hands.
