One of David Moyes’ Everton targets has just sent a message to new signing Adam Aznou on social media.
Everton have confirmed the signing of Adam Aznou, who joined in a deal worth around £10m from Bayern Munich.
Aznou admitted Moyes convinced him to join, which is exactly what Thierno Barry said when he first arrived.
“(Moyes) talked with me, he spoke with me about the team and how he wants me. So I decided directly when I spoke with him.
“I decided really quickly because of the words he gave me. He gave me confidence, so I decided to sign.”
Interestingly, Aznou received a message from a player Everton want to sign underneath his Instagram comments section, and it’s actually pretty telling.

Everton target Bilal El Khannouss sends message to Adam Aznou
Everton are showing an interest in Bilal El Khannouss as Moyes looks to sign a creative midfielder this summer.
Leicester City value El Khannouss at in excess of £25m, which would be a feasible deal to do for the cash-rich Toffees.
The 21-year-old actually sent Aznou a message after his Everton announcement, which read: “PL!”. It was accompanied by a love eyes emoji.
It subtly indicates that the Leicester playmaker would love a return to the Premier League, so perhaps his compatriot Aznou can assist in any forthcoming talks.
El Khannouss stats 2024/25
El Khannouss, who joined Leicester from Genk in a £21m deal last summer, registered eight goal involvements last term.
- 36 appearances
- 3 goals
- 5 assists
But, that doesn’t actually paint a fair reflection of how good he was, as according to FotMob, he created a whopping 42 chances in the Premier League.
That shows that in a better side, he would’ve likely got 10-plus assists, so it’d be a real coup if Everton managed to land his signature.
RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Leeds United are keeping tabs on his situation, too.
