Everton are already on the back foot when it comes to landing one of their reported striker targets this summer.

David Moyes witnessed his side go their sixth game without a victory at the weekend.

It has been a turbulent season for Everton, who enter the transfer window looking to add another striker to their squad.

What would you say to Angus Kinnear after THAT loss to Sunderland? 😤

Something has to change… 😭

Raul Jimenez is reportedly a target of Everton’s, but the Mexican striker is also said to be in talks to join his former club, Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Raul Jimenez in talks with Wolves despite Everton interest

Make no mistake, Everton fans do not want to sign Jimenez in the summer, with many sharing their thoughts over on TalkingPoints.

A report from the Express and Star has claimed that Jimenez is already in talks with Wolves to re-join the side this summer.

Despite scoring nine goals in the Premier League this season, the 34-year-old looks on course to drop down a division and join his former side.

What on earth has happened to Iliman Ndiaye?! 😫

No goal or assist since the win over Chelsea in March… 📉

The Mexico international is set to become a free agent in the coming weeks after failing to agree a new deal with Fulham.

Everton have other striker targets on their radar, but potentially missing out on a target to a side in the league below would be a real low blow.

Thierno Barry could depart Everton this summer following an extremely difficult first season in the Premier League.

This is going to leave a real demand on Angus Kinnear to find more attacking reinforcements, which has already been an issue for the Blues this season.

Liam Delap remains an option for Everton, but he is another player who supporters are not totally convinced over.

Frustrations have grown on Merseyside following Sunday’s latest loss, which only increases the importance of Everton’s summer business.
