Everton are in need of adding to their frontline this summer after an inconsistent season on the whole.

David Moyes has been able to get the best out of the squad he inherited on Merseyside from Sean Dyche’s time at the club.

However, the Toffees have been far from free-scoring over recent weeks under the 61-year-old.

Beto has seen his form dip in front of goal recently after what was an excellent start under Moyes earlier this year.

Across their last five games in the Premier League, Everton have only been able to find the back of the net four times.

The Toffees have all but secured Premier League safety for next season, but their recent form in front of goal has really prevented them from pulling themselves up the table.

With this in mind, Troy Deeney feels the Blues could pull off a really smart piece of summer transfer business.

Everton are prioritising a new striker this summer, with plenty of change expected to unfold over the coming months on Merseyside.

Moyes will be waving goodbye to a number of his players at the end of the season as a considerable squad overhaul will commence.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Deeney feels Jamie Vardy could prove a smart signing for Everton if he is to depart the relegation strugglers.

“Jamie [Vardy] is in a wonderful position because there are not many number nines in world football, never mind in the Premier League. So, I could see him doing well at Everton, at West Ham,” said Deeney.

“So, I think he’d be a great option for a lot of teams. He’s won the Premier League, played in Europe, played for England. That’s a wonderful acquisition to add to your squad.

“For me, Jamie, he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing up. While he’s still got that pace, he’s an excellent buy for anybody.”

Everton look set to allow Dominic Calvert-Lewin to leave as the striker has shown little sign of inking a new contract this season.

Whether Vardy is the right man to come in and provide Everton with that experience would certainly be a big question.

Jamie Vardy would provide Everton a lot of experience

Having won the Premier League, Vardy has also set a Premier League record for scoring in the most consecutive games in a row.

However, it has been a while since Vardy was operating at that level.

Despite being a real struggle for the Foxes in the Premier League, Vardy has been able to provide a solid return.

The 38-year-old would land on Merseyside under the knowledge that he would not be viewed as the starting striker.

But his experience could provide this Everton side something as they look to start a new chapter under the Friedkins.
