Victor Anichebe hits back at criticism as Everton announce contract extension

Former Everton striker Victor Anichebe has moved quick to defend a contract decision announced by the club.

Everton are set to be in for a busy summer transfer window with the Premier League cracking down on the profit & sustainability rules which the Toffees are understood to be teetering over the edge on.

Summer after summer of questionable spending on Merseyside ultimately led to a points deduction for Everton last season but the club, under Sean Dyche, survived relegation despite this.

Selling to buy this summer could be vital for the Toffees with Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite attracting interest from elsewhere this summer.
