The January transfer window is fast-approaching and Everton are being linked to a number of players around Europe.
A striker is on David Moyes’ transfer wishlist, and there have been rumours linking Richarlison with a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus could also be an option for Everton, as he’s now back fit following a long injury lay-off.
Would Gabriel Jesus be a good signing for Everton?
Everton are also looking at other attacking options, and they have been linked with a Chelsea winger over the last 24 hours.
Everton target Tyrique George is one of the best dribblers in Europe
It’s understood that Everton are exploring a deal to sign Tyrique George from Chelsea this January transfer window.
The Toffees were linked with George in the summer, so clearly Moyes is a big admirer of the teenage wide player.
If Tyler Dibling cost £40m, how much would Everton have to pay for George? 😳
There is good reason for that, too, as his FBref data makes for very encouraging reading. George actually ranks in the top six per cent for successful take-ons per 90 minutes across Europe.
The England under-21 international also sits in the top three per cent for progressive passes received, evincing his terrific movement.
George has registered four goal involvements in as many starts for Enzo Maresca’s side this term, so perhaps Moyes could take him to the next level with more opportunities on Merseyside.
Everton should prioritise other areas
Whilst George is undoubtedly a very talented wide player with a lot of promise, Everton should prioritise other areas.
It would take a bid in excess of £20m to sign George, so that money would be better spent towards a striker and a right-back.
Everton want a new striker in January. So, what should they do with Beto next month? 🤨
Everton are eyeing Vitinho, who is a Brazilian full-back currently plying his trade at Botafogo. The former Burnley star is a much more attack-minded defender than Jake O’Brien.
The Toffees could also do with another midfield player if they decide against recalling Harrison Armstrong, as Idrissa Gana Gueye could miss a lot of January through AFCON.
