Everton have now secured their fourth signing of the summer transfer window with Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich.

David Moyes has made his stance on transfers very clear over recent weeks and continued to be vocal during the pre-season tour.

Whilst away in the United States, Moyes has demanded nine Everton signings before the end of the transfer window.

Everton are now looking to strike while the iron is hot after landing Adam Aznou earlier this week.

With four deals sealed back at Finch Farm, Everton are looking to add to their midfield to bolster their options alongside Idrissa Gana Gueye.

There is now one player who Moyes is desperate to bring to Merseyside, and he’s even putting other deals on hold until the player signs.

David Moyes is desperate for Everton to sign Douglas Luiz

Moyes has now personally requested Everton sign Douglas Luiz from Juventus, with the Brazilian looking set to leave Turin this summer.

With Gueye signed to a new deal, the position alongside him in the Everton midfield is certainly up for grabs this summer.

According to GiveMeSport, Moyes is now willing to put any interest in the likes of Jack Grealish on the back burner for now, as he hopes to land Luiz.

The midfielder has now been made the top priority on Merseyside, with his future in Italy hanging by a thread.

It is claimed in the report that there is a belief Everton would not be able to sign both Grealish and Luiz in the same window.

Luiz has missed Juventus training in a bid to push through a potential return to the Premier League.

However, Everton are not the only club believed to be interested in the midfielder, with Luiz’s agents visiting England to hold transfer talks with a number of clubs.

Everton must wrap Douglas Luiz deal up quickly

Angus Kinnear will be all too aware of just how competitive this summer’s transfer market has been.

Everton have already lost out on some of their targets to Premier League rivals, but now they have the chance to land a real coup with Luiz.

It has been claimed that Luiz has approved a potential move to Everton this summer, with the club now needing to strike an agreement with Juventus.

Although the player may be desperate to move on, the Old Lady will not be forced into accepting any offer.

He may have plenty of Premier League experience, but Moyes will surely want Luiz signed with time remaining in the summer to bed back into life in England.
