Everton fans saw their strikers both get on the scoresheet on Sunday and yet the feeling that more is needed still echoes around the Hill Dickinson.
Five goals combined from Everton’s two strikers at this stage of the season simply is not good enough.
David Moyes is more than aware of that having called for more out of Thierno Barry and Beto already in some of his interviews and press conferences.
During his Q&A session with Everton News, Alan Myers suggested a striker is Everton’s priority for the winter transfer market.
Having only brought in Barry over the summer, there is clear room for improvement as the Blues require consistency up top if they’re going to push for Europe.
Dan Friedkin is ready to back Everton’s January window and he may hold the key to landing their next striker.
Everton striker targets destined for January move
Everton have already shown an interest in Artem Dovbyk from AS Roma ahead of the January transfer window opening.
Everton News also understands that Everton are open to considering Evan Ferguson on the back of his loan stint in the Italian capital.
According to Gazzetta, one of Ferguson or Dovbyk is now ‘destined’ to move on from the Serie A side this month.
Name your Everton signing out of these strikers… 💥
Have we missed anyone out? 🤔
Roma are keen to bring in their own new striker as they eye a move for Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee.
Gian Piero Gasperini wants to replace Dovbyk or Ferguson, with their exits now become a matter of when, not if.
It has been suggested that Dovbyk wants to remain in Italy amid the speculation linking him with a move to England.
However, a return to the Premier League could well be on the cards for Ferguson following a torrid loan spell in Serie A.
Dan Friedkin could accelerate Everton striker transfer
It has been suggested that Dan Friedkin is visiting Roma for transfer talks with Gasperini, who is also demanding upgrades.
The American could well sanction the exit for either Dovbyk or Ferguson this month as Roma want to improve their own striker options.
Forget your January hopes, what do you actually expect from Everton in the market? 🤔
The Friedkins could well use their multi-club system to benefit both Roma and Everton by sanctioning moves between the clubs.
Everton News’ finance expert Adam Williams has already claimed Everton would unlikely face FFP issues over trading with Roma despite fair market valuation concerns.
Ferguson would require Brighton & Hove Albion to agree to loaning him back out to Everton when only goal difference is separating the two sides in the table.
Either way, Everton fans are wanting to see movement as the first week of the window is almost in the books.
