Everton are looking at a number of players in the Premier League ahead of the fast-approaching transfer window.

Chelsea centre-forward Liam Delap is believed to be on David Moyes‘ radar after being heavily linked last year.

West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville is another attacker being tracked by Everton’s recruitment team.

Regis Le Bris on Everton target Noah Sadiki

Everton are showing an interest in Sunderland star Noah Sadiki after his standout season in the Premier League.

Sadiki, who joined from Union SG last summer, has established himself as one of the best young midfielders in the division.

Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris heaped praise on the 21-year-old earlier in the campaign, explaining that he has a terrific attitude.

“We can forget that he is only 20,” Le Bris admitted.

“He is a really good player. He has a different personality, but I think he is really smart to understand what is needed to go further.

“He looks at what type of specific profile he needs to progress – technical, physical. You don’t always find the same profile with every player – he has own characteristics, but I think they fit well with the demands of the Premier League.

“At the same time, though, you have to have the mentality to learn and be aware of what the characteristics of your environment are and what you need to do to improve. What can I do to get better?

“What advice do I need to take from other members of the team? He has this combination of talent on one side, then on the other side, the ability to learn.”

Moyes has worked on improving the culture around Finch Farm, so the addition of Sadiki would certainly help to raise standards based on what Le Bris has said about him.

The DR Congo international sounds like a great character to have around the dressing room and ultimately, he has Premier League experience, so he’d be well-placed to make an impact from the get-go.
