Where Everton’s pursuit of Wilson Isidor is now at after claims of an enquiry

Everton remain open to potential new striker signings – and an update has been given on Wilson Isidor following links on Tuesday.

The Toffees have just under a couple of weeks left to do their business.

Everton find themselves in a promising position after the win over Aston Villa, with the club sitting just four points off fourth placed Liverpool.

The pressure is on The Friedkin Group according to Alan Myers…

Fans want to see The Friedkin Group put their hands in their pockets, as investment now could give a greater chance of securing European football.

However, it was reported last night that Everton won’t be tempted to spend big this month, so that they have more cash to play with in the summer.

And with that in mind the latest update on Wilson Isidor should come as little surprise.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Everton enquired over the availability of Wilson Isidor of Sunderland.

Everton are moving with caution, but they’re still looking to bring in a new striker if the right player comes up and the deal conditions are favourable.

Isidor was linked on Tuesday, with it being claimed that he could cost in the region of £25 million.

That suggested that any move would be unlikely, and sure enough, the Liverpool Echo have claimed that Everton are not actively pursuing Isidor at this stage.

There is an acknowledgment that Everton would benefit from having a traditional number nine, but it seems Isidor is not a player the club are about to push for.

Perhaps if Sunderland became open to the idea of a loan with an option, Everton’s position might change.

But for now, the Frenchman pitching up at the Hill Dickinson Stadium looks to be off the table.

We are 21 days into the transfer window and Everton still haven’t brought in a new striker.

Given Thierno Barry’s improvements recently, it is perhaps less paramount for this particular signing to be made.

But Everton could still do with upgrading on Beto, if the club are serious about mounting a push for European football.

It looks like Isidor is highly unlikely to come.

Youssef En-Nesyri also looks an unlikely signing for Everton at this stage.

One thing is for sure, failure to bring someone in is unlikely to go down well with a lot of fans, who really feel Everton are in a great position to push on.
