Bid pending: Everton plot late move for £15m star who has shades of Gordon

Everton’s first two outings in the Premier League have highlighted the need for added reinforcements in attacking areas before the transfer window closes on Friday night.

 

Sean Dyche’s side have failed to score a single league goal so far this campaign, falling to heavy defeats against Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Toffees have registered the fewest number of shots on target in the division during the opening matches of the new campaign, averaging just one per match – with last season’s attacking issues once again proving to be a cause for concern.

However, with just over one day remaining in the market, Dyche and co will have to act quickly if they are to secure a deal for any new attackers to hand themselves the best opportunity of avoiding yet another relegation scrap this season.

As a result, they could turn to one talent, with the Toffees expected to lodge a bid for his services before tomorrow’s deadline.

 

Everton plotting bid for Championship star

According to TEAMtalk, Everton are pondering whether to bid to sign West Bromwich Albion’s talented young forward, Tom Fellows.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a phenomenal start to the 2024/25 campaign for the Baggies, registering three assists in his first three outings, prompting interest from various other top-flight outfits.

 

Southampton are just one of the sides in the race, having a £15m bid rejected for the Englishman yesterday, with TEAMtalk’s report claiming Carlos Corberan’s side value him at around the £15m mark.

Fellows may be a risky addition given his lack of Premier League experience, but it could allow him to follow in the success of one talent who developed rapidly at Goodison Park.

Why Fellows has shades of Gordon in his play

Although he left the club in an unsavoury manner, Anthony Gordon produced many moments of magic during his time at Everton after breaking through the club’s academy.
