Everton closely monitoring Ligue 1’s ‘player of the year’, he could transform David Moyes’s attack
Everton’s focus is going to be on finding a new striker in the summer transfer market.David Moyes has already experienced a number of issues when it comes to his attacking options since arriving in January.
Questions remain over the future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin who has not signed a new contract, despite the offers from the club.
Everton have relied on Beto to lead the front line, but even the Portuguese striker has experienced his own issues after a bright start under Moyes.
With Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja both potentially departing the club over the summer, Everton are prioritising the signing of a new striker.
Speaking to Everton News, TBR Football’s Chief Correspondent Graeme Bailey has shared his understanding on the interest growing in a seriously exciting striker.
