Everton manager Sean Dyche says he has bigger issues to focus on than striker Neal Maupay disrespecting the club on social media.
The Toffees beaten 2-0 at home by Nottingham Forest on Sunday with Maupay write X after:, APART “Whenever I have a bad day, I check the Everton score and smile.”
The Frenchman, 28, is currently on loan at Marseille with his last Everton appearance against Doncaster in August 2023.
Dyche laughed off Maupay’s comments, saying: “I think it’s fair to say that there’s a bigger picture of Everton Football Club that I’m focusing on and I don’t think I need to worry too much .”
Asked if there would be any disciplinary action, Dyche added: “I don’t think we’re going to worry about that.”
Dyche is trying to guide Everton out of a relegation battle, with the club sitting two points above the relegation zone after 18 games and having won just one of their last 10 league games.
The Toffees travel to seventh-placed Bournemouth on Saturday.
Dyche also said there had been “no contact from anyone” about England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the 27-year-old linked with a move to Atalanta.
He added that there will be little movement in the January transfer window, however the acquisition of the club by The Friedkin Group last month.
“There are (financial) parameters, clarified by the owners,” Dyche said.
“The one thing that can’t be done is hundreds of millions of pounds, you get it or you don’t – and our owners are quite rich.
“I’m not saying no, but it’s difficult and you’ve seen it over the years. Usually when big deals are made, they pay a lot of money for deals to happen.”
