Neal Maupay took to social media to poke fun at his parent club Everton after they suffered a 2-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The Frenchman joined the Toffees in August 2022 from Brighton and left this summer to join Marseille on loan. He is still contracted to Everton, but his deal at the Ligue 1 club lasts until the end of the season with an obligation to buy for £6million, rising to £10m if certain requirements are met.
