Everton are exploring several deals in the transfer market as David Moyes looks to add more quality to his squad.

Everton are looking to sign a new striker this month, and Fenerbahce’s Youssef En-Nesyri has been heavily linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Toffees have made a loan offer with an option to buy worth £17m for En-Nesyri, but the Morocco international isn’t convinced of a move to England.

Surely any hungry striker would leap at the chance to play in the Premier League? 🫣

Not the best look for Everton's potential new striker…

Everton target Noa Lang compared to Neymar Jr

Everton are reportedly considering a move to sign Noa Lang from Italian giants Napoli this winter transfer window.

Lang, who cost Napoli £24m last summer, is also attracting interest from Sunderland, Leeds United and Fulham.

The 26-year-old is a left-winger by trade, and his playstyle has often been compared to Brazilian legend Neymar Jr.

Back in 2021, Lang’s agent said: “He always works hard and has excellent technique, dribbling and vision. He is also an excellent decision maker and a clean finisher.

“He is also a generous player, far from selfish. I have heard many people say that he resembles Neymar, especially after the PSG match”.

Lang has struggled to nail down a place in Napoli’s team since joining from PSV last summer.

The 15-cap Netherlands international has only started seven Serie A games, which has limited his output.

Last season, Lang netted 14 goals whilst laying on 12 assists, which is a pretty remarkable tally for a wide player.

If he does make the switch to Merseyside, Moyes will be keen to unlock that kind of form again and rival Jack Grealish for a spot in his starting line-up.
