Everton supporters are already loving Carlos Alcaraz’s impact on the pitch.
Carlos Alcaraz Shines at Everton with Help from an Unlikely Friend
Carlos Alcaraz arrived at Everton in January as the club’s sole signing of the winter transfer window, joining on loan from Flamengo. The Toffees hold an option to buy the midfielder, and after just five appearances, many fans are already urging the club to make the deal permanent this summer.
Alcaraz has quickly made an impact, particularly in his recent start against Brentford, where he stepped up in the absence of Abdoulaye Doucoure. The Argentine delivered an impressive performance, creating three key passes, one big chance, and contesting 12 duels. His energy and creativity have already endeared him to the Everton faithful.
Interestingly, Alcaraz has found support not only within his own team but also from an unlikely source—Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister.
While Everton teammate Jack Harrison has played a key role in helping Alcaraz settle, thanks to their shared language and growing friendship, Mac Allister has also extended a helping hand. Despite the fierce rivalry between the two Merseyside clubs, the fellow Argentine has been a supportive figure for Alcaraz as he adjusts to life in England.
Moyes’ Praise for Alcaraz
Everton manager David Moyes has been vocal about his admiration for Alcaraz, particularly after the Brentford match. He highlighted the midfielder’s work rate and ability to influence games, stating, “Isn’t it what we want? We want players providing competition; we want players who we can bring off the bench to help us. I thought Charly played really well tonight; I just thought he ran out of a little bit of juice towards the end. If we had another midfield player, we probably would have changed him.”
Moyes believes he has uncovered a gem in Alcaraz, and the early signs suggest the 21-year-old could become a fan favorite at Goodison Park. With his relentless energy and eye for creativity, Alcaraz has the potential to be a key figure for Everton in the seasons to come.
