A striker is on David Moyes’ wishlist for Everton this winter transfer window.
Everton are assessing the market for a striker, winger and right-back as David Moyes looks to bolster his ranks.
Moyes has been keen to bring in a centre-forward to provide competition for Thierno Barry, who is starting to come into form.
Fenerbahce’s Youssef En-Nesyri has been heavily linked with the Toffees, but the Morocco international isn’t convinced by a move to England due to the weather.
Alan Myers isn’t a fan of Youssef En-Nesyri…who should Everton sign instead? 🤔
Recent reports regarding Youssef En-Nesyri concerns about English weather haven't impressed many…
Now, a fresh rumour is emerging linking the Merseysiders to a potential Jamie Vardy 2.0.
Everton target Wilson Isidor compared to Jamie Vardy
Everton were showing an interest in Jamie Vardy in the summer transfer window, but he ended up joining Serie A outfit Cremonese.
Moyes is now keen on landing Wilson Isidor’s signature, and FBref data suggests he’s of a very similar profile to Vardy.
Would you back a move for Wilson Isidor ? 🎯
The Frenchman has bags of energy to burn and is a powerful runner in behind, so he’d provide something a bit different to Barry.
Isidor, who is valued at around £25m, is also statistically similar to Chelsea’s Liam Delap, so Moyes will be hoping he can unlock that kind of level out of him.
Regis Le Bris says Wilson Isidor is so passionate
When recruiting players, clubs often look at the character just as much as the skillset and by the sounds of it, Isidor would certainly fit in well at Everton.
Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris explained earlier this year how passionate the 25-year-old is.
“He’s really well connected,” Le Bris said.
“He likes understanding the region and the identity of the club. He’s emotional so he shows more than other players this connection. It’s really positive for our fans.”
That kind of player could really lift the Hill Dickinson Stadium and be of great use as a super substitute against tiring legs.
Certainly one to watch over the next couple of weeks.
