Report: West Ham Submit £25m Bid for 11-Goal Winger Targeted by Everton

Everton are in urgent need of attacking reinforcements, with only Southampton scoring fewer goals this season.

Despite their 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, manager David Moyes has emphasized the necessity of new signings.

The club is actively scouting targets across Europe.

Ernest Nuamah was considered, but that deal is currently on hold. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka is another player admired by Moyes.

Everton had identified a pacey winger in Turkey, but it now appears West Ham have taken the lead with a formal bid.

West Ham has submitted a £25m bid for Barış Alper Yılmaz.

Earlier this month, Everton initiated contact for Yılmaz following his impressive start to the season with Galatasaray.

The winger has scored 11 goals in 28 appearances, drawing attention from Premier League clubs.

According to Hurriyet, West Ham’s bid includes £21m upfront and £4m in add-ons. However, Everton may struggle to match this offer due to ongoing PSR restrictions.

Despite the bid, Galatasaray has rejected it, determined to keep Yılmaz as they chase three major trophies.

With the Yılmaz deal now unlikely, Everton may shift their focus to Timothy Weah.

The Juventus winger has emerged as a key target for the Toffees, who are monitoring his situation closely.

However, Everton faces competition from Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig.

Reports suggest Everton is making a strong push for Weah’s signature, and discussions could progress quickly following the collapse of the Yılmaz deal.

The next few weeks are critical for Everton as they aim to secure reinforcements and boost their attacking options.
