Everton are now facing competition from far and wide in the hunt for a new striker.
Impatience will be growing among some Everton fans as the club remain without a January signing more than two weeks into the window.
On the back of a dismal start to the New Year, the Toffees have not been proactive in addressing the clear weaknesses in their squad.
It has been suggested that Everton have submitted a bid for Youssef En-Nesyri, but they face competition from the likes of Napoli.
David Moyes has seen his two strikers fail to hit any consistent form this season in the Premier League.
Which is why the club have a number of targets on their radar, with Callum Wilson one of the forwards being considered on Merseyside.
Everton competition named amid Callum Wilson interest
It has now been suggested that Celtic are rivalling Everton for Wilson before the window shuts in a couple of weeks.
The West Ham United striker is expected to mutually agree the termination of his deal at the London Stadium.
However, according to Ben Jacobs, clubs from the United Kingdom are set to face competition from further afield, with interest arriving from Saudi Arabia.
Would YOU take Callum Wilson at Everton? 🤔
He can boast 92 goals in 256 Premier League appearances… ⚽️
‘Al-Ettifaq and Al-Shabab both explored a deal before Wilson moved to West Ham. Understand Al-Shabab more likely to make an fresh approach now if Wilson indicates he’s open to Saudi,’ he said.
Moyes is desperate to add another striker at Everton this month, but the Blues are experiencing a difficult January window.
The money is there for Everton to spend; it is just a case of being able to get their deals over the line.
The Friedkin Group have given Everton their financial backing as the club appear to be pondering on what move they want to make.
Everton need a striker signed immediately
Questions have to be asked as to what was happening on Merseyside over the opening two weeks of the market.
Everton knew exactly what was going to be needed in the January market, and yet it has taken until now for the club to spring into life.
Surely he would be the perfect striker signing for Everton this month? 🔥
He simply cannot stop scoring 🤯
It has even reached a point where Moyes is concerned Everton may not sign a player in the January window.
When it comes to the striker and full-back positions, there should be absolutely no reason why Everton end the window without landing some upgrades.
Everton have set the target of European football this season and now is the time where they need to show their ambition in the market.
Without some further firepower, Everton may well be staring at their season ending with a lower half finish.
