Everton are open to signing a new striker, with Wilson Isidor on the club’s radar.
David Moyes’ side are in a great position at the moment, sitting 10th in the Premier League but only four points off fourth place.
Fans are urging The Friedkin Group to add to the squad in the final days of the window to help Everton mount a genuine challenge for European football.
Alan Myers isn’t a fan of Youssef En-Nesyri…who should Everton sign instead? 🤔
Recent reports regarding Youssef En-Nesyri concerns about English weather haven't impressed many…
Potentially, the injury news about Jack Grealish might mean Everton now focus on signing a winger.
But many fans certainly want to see a new striker arrive.
And Wilson Isidor of Sunderland is a player Everton have enquired about, amid his struggle for regular minutes right now.
And what Regis Le Bris said last year may suggest he’d be a firm favourite if he signed.
What Regis Le Bris said about Everton target Wilson Isidor
The Everton fanbase is extremely passionate.
And it has so often been the case that fans strike up great relationships with players and vice versa.
And seemingly, this could be the case with Isidor if he completed a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
When he signed his contract with Sunderland in February last year, manager Regis Le Bris delivered a verdict on the striker that suggests he could actually be someone Everton fans really take to.
He said (via safc.com): “I think he is really well connected to the identity of the Club. We want to play as a team so that means a striker like him has to score. He has to create chances. But at the same time, he has to defend with the team.

“This part of his profile is very positive because he is a hard worker. He is always involved in all the tasks we have to do on the pitch. Not only attacking, which is important for a striker, he wants to help the team. That is clear.
“It’s not so easy to connect with a new Club, new country and a new language but with Wilson’s previous experiences, he has learnt a lot about how to connect with different people.”
Isidor sounds like a player Everton fans would love
It is always important for new signings to make an effort in terms of understanding a club’s identity, and buying into a club’s ethos.
Of course, the main thing is to deliver consistent performances.
But a player can make their life a lot easier if they build a solid relationship with the fans, and doing that can help one thrive.
Evertonians love connecting with players, and Isidor sounds like someone who’d be quite popular.
Le Bris’ comment about him being a hard worker is also encouraging. Everton fans love a workhorse, and Isidor could instantly warm people to him.
It remains to be seen if Everton will push for Isidor, with Nottingham Forest also in the hunt.
