Everton stance made clear amid David Ornstein transfer update

Amid their poor form in front of goal this season, it had been suggested that Everton were interested in Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves.

The Norwegian striker has failed to hit the heights he set for himself last season at Molineux.

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, the only club to have currently made a move for Larsen is Leeds United.

It is believed that the striker is keen on the prospect of potentially moving to Elland Road despite the in-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin holding down the starting spot.

Clearly, the Blues have made no concrete move for the striker despite their lack of depth up top.

Everton were keen to strengthen with a new striker this month, but the market has seemingly not worked in their favour.

However, it will be intriguing to see whether movement could be forced by a potential late departure.

Beto’s Everton future hangs in the balance

With just days remaining in the market, Everton are receiving interest in Beto from Fenerbahce in what could be a dramatic late exit.

If this was to develop, Everton would surely have to replace the striker before sanctioning his exit.

Moyes’ strikers have been an issue all season, but Thierno Barry has finally been able to lay down some form in front of goal.

However, the Blues cannot go into the final months of the season with just one striker at their disposal.

Everton have shown an interest in Youssef En-Nesyri, but the striker is not keen on a move to England.

Some interesting final days of the window lie ahead for the Blues.
