Everton face a really important question as to who may become their new starting striker by the end of the January window.
Finding the back of the net is a headache that fans and David Moyes have lived with since the opening weeks of the season.
A slow start to the New Year now has Everton with just over two weeks to finalise any signings.
Everton are pushing to sign Youssef En-Nesyri from Fenerbahce and an initial loan offer has already been submitted.
There are a number of options that Everton are believed to be looking at currently.
The options that have been recently suggested would not offer Everton with a long-term solution, but there is one striker target who is showing huge potential for the future.
Troy Parrott shows why Everton must go all out to sign him
Everton News understands that Everton have scouted Troy Parrott since the start of the season.
The Ireland international has enjoyed a seriously impressive 2025/26 campaign for both club and country.
His fine form continued on Wednesday evening after Parrott netted a hat-trick in a staggering 6-0 win for AZ Alkmaar over Ajax.
Surely he would be the perfect striker signing for Everton this month? 🔥
He simply cannot stop scoring 🤯
There is a belief that Alkmaar would demand over £30m for Parrott in the January transfer window.
The Dutch side will be desperate to keep their in-form striker at the club for the remainder of the term.
A number of Everton fans would like to see Parrott signed this month as their new striker, as he continues to showcase his talent over in the Netherlands.
Questions will be asked whether he could translate his form into the Premier League, but he is certainly leaving no questions unanswered with Alkmaar.
Everton should target Parrott as long-term striker target
Whether Everton could land the Ireland international this month would surely come down to how much the Blues would be willing to spend.
Parrott returning to Tottenham Hotspur has been ruled out, but he may look to give life in England another go.
Name your Everton signing out of these strikers… 💥
Have we missed anyone out? 🤔
The Ireland international is certainly showing the credentials over in the Eredivisie as he has returned nine goals in 12 league appearances.
His hat-trick on Wednesday evening came in the KNVB Cup as he takes his total to 19 in 24 games across all competitions for Alkmaar.
As Everton eye a move for Callum Wilson, perhaps a move for Parrott will be picked back up ahead of the summer.
