Everton are keen to sign Frenchman Arthur Atta this summer.
David Moyes is on the lookout for more squad depth and quality as Everton eye a European finish in the remaining six games.
Everton are targeting Atta, with the future of midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye still hanging in the balance.
Which of these players do you want to see Everton SIGN in 2026?
The following names have been suggested by fans on TalkingPoints…
The 23-year-old Udinese midfielder is a versatile midfielder, who has shown traits similar to former Moyes favourite Declan Rice.
Everton eyeing midfielder Arthur Atta
The Toffees already have a number of midfield options on their books, with the likes of Harrison Armstrong unable to get a game for Everton recently.
A lot hangs on the future of Gueye, who is set to see his Everton contract expire at the end of the season.
There are no wrong answers here! They have all been sensational this season 🔥
But which two are you starting if you're Moyes? 🤷♂️
Atta is a player who could offer Moyes something similar to what he previously had at West Ham United in Rice.
Moyes previously hailed James Garner similar to Rice, but Atta would provide a real physical similarity to the Arsenal midfielder.
David Moyes could land Declan Rice clone in Arthur Atta
Standing at 6′ 2″, Atta possesses a similar frame to Rice, which is something that Everton have not had on offer since Abdoulaye Doucoure left the club.
Garner has shown an ability to transition defence into attack this season, but Atta would be able to glide through the opposition as Rice has shown in north London.
Although perhaps not offering the same output defensively, Atta would provide Everton with an imposing figure in the middle, like Moyes has had in previous years with Rice at West Ham.
Atta (269) has contested more duels than Rice (209) in an Udinese side who find themselves sitting mid-table in Serie A, according to Squawka’s comparison matrix.
The Frenchman has proven to be somewhat of a man-mountain when it comes to keeping possession in the Italian side’s midfield.
Everton currently do not have a player in midfield who can maintain possession to the level Atta can.
Valued in excess of £30m, Everton could land themselves a game-changer when it comes to adding a midfielder who can offer a real technical ability on the ball.
