He will be coached by Thorsten Fink who he played alongside at Bayern Munich. He said “I am very pleased that it has worked out with FC Basel, and the wait has been worthwhile. I’m happy that I’ve signed with such a big club.” He made his debut on 20 November, in a 4–2 Swiss Cup win over rivals FC Zürich at St. Jakob-Park.

After sustaining a hand injury to the first choice goalie Tim Howard, Wessels made his Everton debut in the 1-0 defeat at home against Manchester United on 15 September 2007. The goalkeeper made the European debut at Everton in the 1-1 draw against Ukrainian club Metalist Kharkiv and he also played against Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday and was able to keep the club’s first clean sheet for the season against Sheffield Wednesday. But, he was unable to secure his place in the squad to return of Tim Howard for the following match against Middlesbrough.

Wessels’ time in Köln was eventful, with the club relegated in his first season, before immediately gaining promotion back to the 1st division and again being relegated to the 2. Bundesliga the following season. Showing consistently good performances, Wessels was one of the few players to stand out in the squad. However, at the beginning of the 2007–08 season, Colombian goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón signed with the club, and after a fair but intense rivalry, Wessels lost his position as the club’s number 1.
