Everton scored just 34 goals in the 2022–2023 season, thus they have decided to make finding a new center striker their top priority this summer.
In fact, the Toffees’ inability to find a reliable goal scorer contributed to their agonizingly close relegation for a second straight season.
Sean Dyche has now named three strikers that he may be able to bring to Everton. However, the manager is up against competitors for every stated goal.
But Dyche’s inability to depend on his available center-forward alternatives is evident.
For the past two seasons, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has suffered with injuries. In addition, Neal Mau pay has only scored once for the Toffees in 27 Premier League games.
In light of this, Dyche and Kevin Thelwell, the director of football of Everton, want to wrap up their business as soon as possible.
First off, Everton is one of the teams vying to sign Moussa Dembele this summer on a free transfer, as revealed by our pals at TEAM talk. Additionally, they have “made contact” with his group.
Dembele’s playing time was restricted in 2022–2023 as a result of Alexandre Lacazette joining Lyon. He netted three goals in 23 Ligue 1 games (mainly as a substitute).
Still, his past performance speaks for itself—the Frenchman is capable of being clinical. For instance, Dembele scored 21 goals in 30 league games during the 2021–2022 season.
Additionally, in 94 games with one of his former teams, Celtic, the 26-year-old scored an outstanding 51 goals. He therefore obviously knows where the net is.
As previously said, Everton will have competition for his signature from Saudi teams and Galatasaray.
Viktor Gokees, a striker for Coventry, provides an additional possibility for Everton. The Swedish international propelled the Sky Blues into the Championship playoff berths in 2022–2023 with an incredible 21 goals.
In January, Everton expressed interest in Goeres. Nevertheless, the forward never received a firm offer.
They are now interested in signing him once more. But they have competition, just like Dembele.
The Portuguese publication A Bola claims that Goeres has a “offer in hand” from Everton at the moment. Brighton is considering recruiting their former player again as well.
However, Sporting Lisbon is presently thought to be in the lead, as A Bola said that the 25-year-old would rather play for them than the Premier League pair.
Contradictory reports, nevertheless, seem to indicate otherwise. Thus, Gyokuros is unquestionably a player that Evertonian should watch. Coventry is currently asking approximately £25 million for the Swede.
