Everton have been drawing up a list of striking targets over the last few months, with it becoming clear that Thierno Barry and Beto need more help.
It has been reported that Everton manager David Moyes is ‘fixated’ on signing a new striker in the January transfer window.
Former Brentford frontman Ivan Toney has been linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but it’s understood that deal will be difficult to do.

Richarlison has even been tipped to return to Merseyside, but any forthcoming deal would likely be a loan.
Now, there is a fresh rumour coming to light regarding a former Premier League striker who’s playing on the continent.
Lorenzo Pellegrini thinks he has the potential to become ‘one of the best strikers in the world.’

Lorenzo Pellegrini said Everton target Tammy Abraham has ‘incredible potential’
Everton are showing an interest in Tammy Abraham, along with five other Premier League clubs, this month.
Abraham is currently plying his trade in Turkey with Besiktas and has enjoyed a pretty productive season so far, netting 12 times.

What do you make of this link, Everton fans? Would he be an upgrade on Barry or Beto? 🤔

Everton fans have mixed opinions about the potential Abraham signing, but there’s no doubt he has the ability to be a success on Merseyside.
His former AS Roma teammate Lorenzo Pellegrini was a big believer in the Englishman’s quality when and even admitted he could become ‘one of the best strikers in the world.’
“I’ve always said that with the right application, work, commitment and mentality, he can become one of the best strikers in the world,” Pellegrini told FourFourTwo back in December 2022.
“Tammy has incredible potential. Last season he produced impressive numbers.”
David Moyes wanted Tammy Abraham at West Ham United
Back in the summer of 2021, Moyes was actually keen on signing Abraham when he was the West Ham United manager.
Although, the Scotsman admitted that his £40m price tag was too pricey: “It would rule us out completely. We will be ruled out.
“So if that’s the figure and that’s what’s being said, we are ruled out. We don’t have that money, we don’t have that to buy a striker at that price, no.
“Is that sort of figure our total spend? It may well be. But you never know here. I don’t think we will be making a purchase of that for any one player. I’d be surprised if we were.”
Abraham’s valuation will certainly be a lot lower nowadays, so there are certainly legs to this potential deal.
