Everton’s emphasis has to be on signing a new number nine in the summer transfer window.

David Moyes will have plenty of areas he will want to see improved over the coming months before the new season starts.

The future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains uncertain at Everton with just a matter of days now until he is set to leave as a free agent.

Regardless of the 28-year-old’s future, Everton are in desperate need of adding some further quality to their attack.

Everton are prioritising a new striker signing this summer, but it is proving an extremely competitive market to deal in.

The Toffees have already seen Liam Delap join Chelsea and Nick Woltemade will snub Everton to remain at Stuttgart.

However, there is one other striker target who is now keen to make a move to the Premier League this summer.

Dusan Vlahovic issues wage demand to sign for Everton

There are a host of big-name strikers potentially on the move this summer and Dusan Vlahovic is certainly one of them.

It has been suggested Everton are keen to sign Vlahovic from Juventus with a host of other clubs also keen.

According to GiveMeSport, the Serbian striker is now looking for a deal in the region of £200k-per-week to leave Turin.

Vlahovic is claimed to be keen on the possibility of moving to the Premier League, though.

Alongside Everton, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest are two other clubs who have shown an interest in the 25-year-old.

The Friedkins are looking to make a statement signing this summer and adding a player of Vlahovic’s calibre would be a step in the right direction.

Ahead of the move to the new stadium, Everton fans will want to see a squad filled with quality ready to compete at their new home.

Signing Vlahovic could spark Everton transfer shift

Landing a player of Vlahovic’s calibre could be the spark which Everton need under the Friedkins to make a huge step forward.

The new Everton owners are keen to invest in the squad this summer as they wish for big improvements on Merseyside.

But there will need to be one player to make the leap and put their faith in the Friedkins’ project.

Everton are eyeing Jack Grealish and a move for the Manchester City winger could become more attractive if they could land a striker like Vlahovic.

The issue then becomes whether Everton can afford those types of wages.
