Everton are still looking to bring in a new striker this month, but it looks like one target is also on Sean Dyche’s radar.
Everton have yet to make any new additions this month.
A new centre-forward has been on the cards. However, the narrative has also been that Everton aren’t about to spend big, and that loans are more likely.
But Everton are still looking to see if deals can be done.
Would you back a move for Wilson Isidor ? 🎯
And earlier this week, it was claimed that Everton had enquired over the availability of Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor.
Isidor has struggled for regular minutes recently and could be on his way out this month.
But it seems Everton would not have a straight run at him if they were to get involved.
Everton face Nottingham Forest fight for Wilson Isidor
It has been reported by Sky Sports’ Keith Downie that interest is growing in Isidor towards the end of the window.
And he says that Everton are keen, as are Nottingham Forest who are managed by Sean Dyche, of course.
He said on X: “Everton and Nottingham Forest have enquired on Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor. No concrete approach has been made, as both clubs are waiting and/or considering other targets.
“The Frenchman also has interest in him from multiple clubs overseas, and is one to watch this window.
“25-year-old Isidor’s contract is up in 2028 but he has fallen down the striking pecking order at Sunderland.
“Isidor has scored 4 Premier League goals this season, but hasn’t netted since October.”
Dyche desperation could trump Everton
It’ll be interesting to see if either club make an official approach for Isidor.
It was actually claimed earlier this week that Everton are not actually actively pursuing Isidor just at the moment, so that may well mean an opportunity for Dyche and Forest to steal in.
Dyche is certainly in need of a new striker this month.
Only Wolves have scored fewer goals than Forest so far this season, and greater firepower will be needed for them to stay up.
Currently, Forest are just five points above the drop zone.
