BREAKING NEWS; Everton Join the Race to Sign ‘Versatile’ Former Chelsea Forward

Everton’s Transfer Strategy: Insight into Potential New Strikers

Everton Football Club’s summer transfer window appears to be gearing up for some significant changes, particularly in the striking department, amidst the uncertainty surrounding their key forwards.

Everton’s Forward Uncertainty

The situation with Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains pivotal. As he enters the final year of his contract, negotiations seem to be stalling, a development that has placed his future at Goodison Park in doubt. Sean Dyche, the team’s manager, has expressed a keen interest in retaining Calvert-Lewin, yet the clock is ticking, and Everton might be forced to look elsewhere if a new agreement isn’t reached soon.

In addition to Calvert-Lewin’s dilemma, other forwards like Beto and Neal Maupay are also surrounded by speculation. Beto has been linked with a return to Italy, whereas Maupay doesn’t fit into Dyche’s long-term strategy, hinting at a possible exit.

Potential Targets and Strategic Moves

With these potential departures, Everton have reportedly shortlisted several forwards, including Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah and Chelsea’s Armando Broja. Interestingly, Nketiah seems set on a move to Marseille after Arsenal agreed to lower their demands, making him an unlikely option for the Toffees.

Further reports from ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ have also linked Everton with Roma’s Tammy Abraham, a player whose future at the Italian club is uncertain following a challenging season marred by an ACL injury. Despite a tough year, Abraham’s talent is undeniable, having shone brightly under Jose Mourinho during the 2021/22 season.

Everton’s Financial Play

Financially, acquiring a player of Abraham’s calibre wouldn’t be straightforward. The report suggests a fee of £25.7m could secure his services, a sum that Everton might only be able to afford through sales of current squad members.

Notably, Everton are not alone in their interest; Leicester City is also reportedly keen on Abraham.
