Everton need to be thinking about Dominic Calvert-Lewin replacements very quickly.
David Moyes will have many decisions to make in his head, but choosing where Calvert-Lewin will end up come next season is certainly at the top of his list.
This is due to Calvert-Lewin’s deadline approaching, as his contract officially expires on June 30th.
Calvert-Lewin is drawing interest from Leeds United as the Toffees boss might not want to lose him to a fellow Premier League side.
But this could be the reality, and now the Scotsman must search for a new number nine, and his quest at Everton continues to derail.
Everton’s signing of Rangers’ Hamza Igamane has been thrown into uncertainty
The main target this summer was clear, as Liam Delap was considered worth breaking the bank for by Everton.
However, the Ipswich Town striker chose to make the move to Chelsea instead, in what was no doubt frustrating for Moyes.
But rejections are expected, and now alternatives must be considered, and previously, Everton have been linked with Hamza Igamane.
The Rangers forward was firmly on Moyes’ radar in January, and it looks as though the Moroccan could be leaving Ibrox.
Recently, Everton reignited interest in Igamane, who has a £25m asking price, but journalist Rudy Galetti has brought bad news for the Toffees.
Galetti states that Igamane is being monitored by Lazio and Marseille, with no mention of Everton, as Moyes might have to look elsewhere.

Everton must go all in for top target Thierno Barry
It’s plain and simple that Everton need a striker, and instead of listing several candidates, The Friedkin Group should go all out for Villareal’s Thierno Barry.
After Delap’s pursuit came to an end, Barry became the number one priority for Everton, as a £33m release clause should be activated.
His prolificness in front of goal last campaign in Spain should be a clear indicator of why Everton must break the bank for Barry, like they planned for Delap.
Adding to why they should heighten their pursuit, Barry wants Premier League football and has essentially issued a ‘come and get me’ plea to Moyes.
