Everton were one such team.

Roberto Martinez target♛ed the player as competition and a potential long-term successor to Irish star Seamus Coleman.

But the deal never happened. In fact, , the former Everton boss stated that Byram was not up to the ‘challenge’ of fightin🍌g for f▨irst-team football at Goodison Park.

Since then, Byram has played just 36 tim🃏es in three-and-half seasons at thꦛe London stadium and has failed to impress in that time.
