Everton have a number of options open to them in the market when it comes to potentially adding a new striker.
Goals have been a huge issue for Everton in the first half of the season, with neither striker particularly impressing.
David Moyes has predominantly stuck with Thierno Barry for the large majority of the season, but more is going to be needed to really push on.

This has led to Everton making an offer for Youssef En-Nesyri on an initial loan basis.
The Moroccan striker is not the only player on Everton’s radar ahead of the final weeks of the January window, though.
One target may now be firmly off the cards after he has shared his desired next club.

It had been suggested earlier in the month that Everton held an interest in Tammy Abraham, who is currently playing his football with Besiktas on loan.

According to The Times, Abraham has now made it clear that he would like to make a return to Aston Villa this month.

It is believed that Villa are set to hand Abraham a four-and-a-half-year deal to bring him back to Villa Park.
A number of other Premier League sides were chasing the Roma striker’s signature, but his preference has been made clear.
Everton also hold an interest in Callum Wilson, given his time at West Ham has come to a sour end.
Premier League experience is seemingly something that Moyes and the Everton recruitment team are looking at in these final weeks.

Waiting until the summer appears to be the plan for any of Everton’s big additions.
It may certainly be the smart plan, but the Blues undoubtedly need to strengthen their squad this month given the extent of their injury list.
Everton News columnist Alan Myers wanted to see three Everton signings made in January.
Fans are likely going to be pleased to see any new faces walk through the doors at this rate.
