Everton have confirmed the main striker signing for the season, but who’s to say David Moyes doesn’t want more?

Before Thierno Barry came Stuttgart giant Nick Woltemade, as the 6’6 frontman was a key target for the needed striker position.

Woltemade is valued at £33m this summer as Moyes seemed to take a great liking to the German.

But unfortunately for Everton, despite leading the race at one point, Bayern looked to be Woltemade’s destiny.

Barry joined, and it looked like Everton’s striker search was over, but could temptation in Woltemade arise again…

Twist in Everton target Nick Woltemade’s future

With the German striker looking likely to stay in his home country, Moyes might have seen it as an ambitious pursuit.

This is after the 23-year-old was unstoppable at the Under-21 Euros this summer, wreaking havoc on every defender.

Despite Bayern looking adamant on signing the striker, Woltemade was removed from the transfer list, ending both Everton’s and Vincent Kompany’s hopes.

However, a deal was still being worked on, and Woltemade joining Bayern looked a certainty; however, what BILD reporter Julian Agardi has just said gives Everton another chance in the future.

Agardi said that Bayern have temporarily withdrawn from the Woltemade saga, with Stuttgart not willing to compromise after two bids had been rejected, and it does look like Woltemade will stay at Stuttgart, but the door remains open for Everton to re-emerge on the scene.

Whether Barry or Woltemade would be better for Everton

Although an approach from The Friedkin Group is unlikely for Woltemade this summer, January could beckon.

Beto is meant to start for Everton, but even his future could take turns further down the line, as Moyes could be ruthless if he truly wants Woltemade.

But with Barry now in the frame as a long-term option, is there any need for heightened interest in the German?

Looking at both strikers’ seasons last campaign, both have very similar abilities, which makes for a very close comparison.

Both represent a presence in the air due to their scary height, as Everton fans liked Barry’s aerial abilities, and Woltemade also possesses this trait.

But taking into account goal involvements, Barry’s numbers stand out more, and for now, Everton have a strong option in the Frenchman, and he appears as the better striker.

However, if things don’t get off to a smooth start, Woltemade could be ready and waiting in the winter with Bayern looking out of the picture.
