Everton Target Rising Star Semih Kilicsoy as Future Key Player
With an eye on long-term success, Everton and The Friedkin Group are now determined to win the race for an emerging talent who is already outperforming Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Everton Pursuing Turkish Sensation
As Everton inches closer to securing Premier League survival, attention is shifting toward summer transfers that could strengthen David Moyes’ squad.
The goal is clear: return the Merseyside club to the top half of the table and beyond.
Several names have already surfaced in discussions, including Tammy Abraham.
The AS Roma striker, currently on loan at AC Milan, has had a mixed season but could return to the Premier League after leaving Chelsea.
With Calvert-Lewin set to depart as a free agent when his contract expires this summer, Everton is preparing to bolster its attacking options.
Friedkin’s first major move as owner should be to reinforce the frontline, potentially with multiple signings.
According to Caught Offside, Everton has entered the race to sign Semih Kilicsoy, Besiktas’ highly rated 19-year-old forward.
The Turkish club values him at around €20m (£17m), though some reports suggest his price could be even lower.
Landing Kilicsoy would represent a smart, long-term investment in attacking depth.
However, Everton faces stiff competition. Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also pursuing the talented teenager, setting the stage for a Premier League bidding war.
With interest from multiple clubs, Everton must convince Kilicsoy that their project is the best fit for his development.
If Calvert-Lewin departs, building an attack around Kilicsoy could be a wise move for the Toffees.
Everton Should Prioritize “Incredible” Kilicsoy
Amid competition from Newcastle and Villa, securing Kilicsoy would be a significant coup for Everton.
The young winger has been outstanding in Turkey, contributing six goals and four assists across all competitions this season.
This follows an impressive breakout campaign, where he registered 15 goal involvements.
In contrast, Calvert-Lewin has struggled once again, scoring just three times while dealing with persistent injury setbacks.
With Everton frequently forced to manage without him, his expected departure appears inevitable.
The structure of Everton’s attack next season remains uncertain, but Kilicsoy is a target they cannot afford to miss.
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig previously lauded the teenager for a “fantastic” season, highlighting his potential to become one of Europe’s standout young forwards.
Whether he ends up at Goodison Park or elsewhere, Kilicsoy appears destined for the Premier League.
