Everton are expected to be active in the transfer window this month, with David Moyes keen to add more quality to his squad.
Speaking exclusively to Everton News, Alan Myers expects a striker, midfielder and full-back to be targeted by David Moyes.
The Toffees were exploring a deal to sign Ricardo Pepi, but the PSV striker is now expected to remain at the Dutch giants.
Everton have looked at Ivan Toney, too, and there is another centre-forward from the Premier League being eyed.
With that said, Alan Shearer has already given his seal of approval on the potential signing.
Alan Shearer big fan of Everton target Jorgen Strand Larsen
It has recently come to light that Jorgen Strand Larsen is on Everton’s shortlist of strikers this winter transfer window.
Larsen is joined by Toney and Dovbyk, with Moyes clearly keen to recruit a physically imposing number nine.
How much would you pay for Jorgen Strand Larsen in January? 🤨
He scored 14 in the Premier League last season!
Alan Shearer, speaking last April, waxed lyrical about the Wolves star and labelled his hold-up play as ‘excellent’, which is exactly what the Toffees are lacking at the moment.
“He was a nuisance,” Shearer explained.
“His hold-up play was excellent and I thought his touch and his control were superb. Wolves didn’t play that well in the first half, but they certainly improved in the second.
“When you’ve got a guy who’s 6’4, you have to get balls into the box, and they certainly did that in the second half.”
How much Jorgen Strand Larsen will cost
Everton will certainly have to push the boat out if they’re to sign Larsen’s signature ahead of other Premier League clubs this month.
It’s understood that Wolves are seeking in the region of £40m to sanction the sale of the 25-year-old frontman.
Forget your January hopes, what do you actually expect from Everton in the market? 🤔
West Ham United have already been put off by that price tag, but Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest are said to be interested.
Newcastle United bid up to £55m for Larsen in the summer, but ended up going for Nick Woltemade instead.
Everton also have their eye on Nicolas Jackson, so there are a number of options out there for Moyes and his recruitment staff.
