Everton are aiming for Europe this season, so for that goal to be achieved, David Moyes must be backed in the January transfer window.

David Moyes wants three new signings to bolster his ranks, with a striker, midfielder and a full-back being targeted.

On the striker front, Everton have recently been linked to Mateus Mane after his exciting breakout season at Wolves.

The Toffees have also watched Watford midfielder Imran Louza, and the Hornets may have just signed a replacement in Edourdo Bove.

It has also just come to light that Everton are keen on signing a right-back who has been capped by England.

Everton interested in signing Arsenal’s Ben White

Everton have looked at several right-backs over the last few weeks, with Brooke Norton-Cuffy one of the latest to be linked to the Toffees.

Now, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Moyes has turned his attention to Arsenal defender Ben White.

Thoughts on potentially signing Ben White? 🤔

Despite limited game time this season, due to the terrific form of Jurrien Timber, White is still widely regarded as one of the best right-backs in the Premier League.

The former Brighton star has been an ever-present under Mikel Arteta and has been a big part of the defensive success over the last few years.

White, who has been capped four times by England, has two and a half years left on his contract, so the Friedkin Group will have to shell out a substantial sum of cash to land his signature.

Everton shouldn’t pay more than £30m for Ben White

Arsenal shelled out around £50m on White during the summer of 2022, and his stock has certainly risen since then.

The 6ft 1 defender has racked up 172 appearances for the Gunners and has played in the Champions League 24 times.

Would you even pay £30m for Jack Grealish? 🫣

That experience would be invaluable to Everton, however, they shouldn’t pay any more than £30m to sign him.

The priority simply has to be a striker this month, so that’s where most of the budget should be allocated towards.
