Everton must REIGNITE interest in £17m DCL upgrade who’s “putting everything away” 🔥⚽️
Everton are a club plagued by their inability to find the net, having struggled all throughout last campaign, before starting this season in a similarly profligate fashion.
However, there is one key difference between this term and the last, and that is the chances are at least being created.
As such, perhaps there is scope to further bolster their striking department despite being well-stocked with Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, by reigniting their interest in Serhou Guirassy.
Having been linked all throughout the summer of 2022, perhaps now that knowledge of his €20m (£17m) release clause has emerged, they could act on their prior interest given the blistering form of the Stuttgart striker.
After all, Sean Dyche is desperate for something to give with regards to the finishing of his squad, given they would only find the net 34 times in the league last term. Only Wolverhampton Wanderers would score less.
How good is Serhou Guirassy?
Guirassy would be the man to surely solve these issues, given how unstoppable he has been in his opening eight league fixtures.
Whilst the Merseyside outfit are floundering with just nine goals in the Premier League from an expected goals of 17.66, the 27-year-old marksman instead has 14 Bundesliga goals of his own from an expected goals tally of 7.53.

Should he make the switch to England and translate his assets with similar ease as he did from France to Germany, then it would not take long for him to make Calvert-Lewin obsolete.
Although the Englishman has grown into a fine asset for Everton and Dyche, his injury woes have made it so he has scored just five and two in the last two full league seasons.
Even if he is currently enjoying a return to fitness, having started their last four games, he remains unreliable until he manages a full year of avoiding major ailments.
However, even if he is to stay healthy, his goalscoring has never been on such an inimitable level as Guirassy’s currently is. In fact, his finest year in Royal Blue came during the 2020/21 term, as he notched 21 goals across all competitions.
His potential replacement has already nearly matched that tally after nine games.
It should come as no surprise that his boss Sebastian Hoeneß has rushed to praise him, noting: “We’re on a roll right now and up front we’ve got a striker in Serhou who’s putting everything away.”
Should Dyche be the one to tempt him to sample English football, it could mark an almighty coup set to save Everton’s season.
