With Everton still needing more additions this window, a very exciting name has entered the frame.

David Moyes will know the need for signings more than ever after the 1-0 defeat to Leeds United.

There were a few positive signs to take from the encounter, but overall, it wasn’t a display that should rule out any more arrivals.

Now, the Scotsman will double down his demand for more players, with Gary Neville expecting at least two more transfers.

There could be one beginning to come to fruition at Everton, and it’s someone who has an incredibly high ceiling.

Mohamed Salah’s former agent says Everton target Adama Bojang will be next ‘Samuel Eto’o’

A new name, which looks to be an intriguing one, is Everton target Adama Bojang.

Bojang is a 21-year-old striker from Reims who is looking like one of the more promising talents coming out of Africa, with the Gambian impressing in his early career.

After a loan spell at Swiss side Grasshoppers, Bojang has caught the eye of Moyes, and agent Sascha Empacher has explained exactly why he must be signed.

Speaking to Sky Sports Germany in 2023, Empacher said: “Adama is the best African player I’ve seen in the last decade. He has the potential to become one of Africa’s great forwards. Along with Drogba, (Samuel) Eto’o, Salah, and Osimhen.”

Fans will know Eto’o well from his time at Goodison Park, but of course, he’s one of the greatest African strikers of this generation, so it certainly bodes well.

But more to the point of why Empacher knows his stuff, the well-renowned agent helped Mohamed Salah land his first big move to Europe, as Bojang’s representative can now hopefully do the same for him and Everton.

Everton could be getting their own ‘Erling Haaland’ with Adam Bojang playstyle

This might not be what Everton need now, as Thierno Barry is occupying the young striker spot, but it should surely be considered.

The six-foot-three forward has a likeness to Erling Haaland through his build, playstyle, and overall demeanour.

Voice Gambia has compared the youngster to the Man City goal-scoring machine, explaining how his pace in a build that big is frightening.

Moyes is lacking that threat up front, and maybe it’s a case of taking a chance on the Gambian, who looks to be the real deal and is one of the future’s brightest talents.
