“Everton’s SHOCKING £20M Move for ‘UNBELIEVABLE’ Striker Set to REPEAT Barry’s LEGENDARY Legacy – You WON’T Believe Who!”
Everton’s Transfer Push Under Moyes: Branthwaite Extension, Barry Arrival, and Igamane Pursuit
David Moyes has begun reshaping his Everton squad with three summer signings so far, and more arrivals are expected as the window progresses.
The standout development has been securing Jarrad Branthwaite on a new four-year contract, a significant move that could stabilize Everton’s backline and aid their push back into the Premier League’s top half.
In terms of additions, the permanent signing of Carlos Alcaraz strengthens midfield options after his loan stint last season.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin departing upon the expiry of his contract, Moyes made signing a striker a top priority — leading to the £27 million acquisition of Thierno Barry from Villarreal.
Barry, a French U21 international, was a key target for his impressive goal tally last season — netting 19 goals and contributing four assists in all competitions.
More than just a scorer, Barry created seven big chances for teammates and demonstrated flair in the U21 Euros, registering two big chances and two shots per game despite limited minutes.
His arrival offers promise, but Moyes is aware the young striker can’t carry the attacking burden alone.
As such, Everton are now exploring a move for another forward. While early interest in Brighton’s Evan Ferguson and Germany’s Nick Woltemade did not materialize, Moyes has turned his attention to Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane.
The 21-year-old impressed last season at Rangers, scoring 16 goals across all competitions, including strikes against Celtic, Tottenham, and Nice.
His European performances — with a 29% goal conversion rate and a flair-filled playing style — have drawn comparisons with Barry.
Reports suggest LOSC Lille are struggling to finalize a deal for Igamane, opening the door for Everton, Feyenoord, and Udinese to step in. Rangers have set a £20 million valuation on the striker — a fee Everton are capable of matching.
Statistically, Barry and Igamane delivered similar outputs last season, with comparable goal contributions (20 vs 18), shots per 90 (3.88 vs 3.02), shot accuracy, and successful dribbles.
Both offer more than just goal threat — they create chances, beat defenders, and bring unpredictability to the final third.
Should Everton land Igamane, Moyes could replicate the success of the Barry signing and build a formidable young attack.
With both strikers leading the line, Everton’s prospects of a top-half finish — and possibly even a return to European football — are suddenly within reach.
