The ex-England national player has been absent from competitive matches since February 2023, a period marked by an unremarkable stint at Besiktas during a loan. His time at Everton this season has also been spent on the sidelines, resulting in only 13 appearances for the Toffees since his transfer from Tottenham in January 2022.

Dele has faced both on-field and off-field challenges, with a groin operation in January further prolonging his absence. Despite these setbacks, the 28-year-old remains determined to regain his peak performance, especially with his impending free agency in the summer. He expresses optimism about nearing full fitness.

Nonetheless, there is considerable ground to cover in rebuilding his confidence and reputation. Dr. Rajpal Brar, a specialist in physical therapy and sports science, emphasized the importance of Dele’s focus on his personal well-being and recovery process, regardless of external factors.

While Dele has hinted at the possibility of extending his contract with Everton, the likelihood of such an agreement seems slim. Thus, he anticipates embracing a new challenge for the 2024-25 season. Whether this entails a Premier League opportunity or a step backward before moving forward remains to be seen.
