“Ex-Everton Insider Drops BOMBSHELL: Moyes Set to Smash Transfer Records with JAW-DROPPING £12M+ Swoop for ‘Unpredictable’ Striker Sensation!”

Even in Everton’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, Thierno Barry was substituted at half-time following a disappointing performance at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

His struggles in front of goal epitomized the team’s attacking issues, which have already cost the Toffees several valuable points this season.

Despite having a creative spark in Jack Grealish, Everton’s inability to consistently find the back of the net remains a mystery.

In search of attacking reinforcements, the Merseyside club have reportedly turned their attention to Franculino Dju, the prolific Midtjylland forward who continues to impress in Denmark.

The 19-year-old striker has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in 19 appearances, further establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents in Scandinavian football.

Former Midtjylland football director Peter Sand once described Dju as an “unpredictable” player with “high technical skill,” in comments made on 19 December 2024.

His sharpness, pace, and finishing ability have made him a key figure for his Danish side, and naturally, he has attracted interest from clubs abroad.

Midtjylland are believed to be demanding around £17.5 million for Dju, a fee Everton may find difficult to justify.

The striker’s impressive record speaks for itself—11 goals and three assists in the 2023–24 Superliga season, followed by the same output and a Europa League goal in the 2024–25 campaign, giving him 13 goal contributions this term alone.

However, former Everton scout Bryan King believes that valuation is excessive.

Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, King suggested that while Everton should indeed pursue the forward, a deal worth around £12 million plus add-ons would be far more reasonable.

“Players from Scandinavia have always caught Everton’s eye,” King said. “Franculino has done very well—he’s had a good education at Benfica and has developed further at Midtjylland.

They’re a strong, well-run club, but £17 million feels steep. I’d say £12 million would be fair, with incentives included.

Paying £17 million for a young Scandinavian player means you’d expect immediate impact, but he’d likely need time to settle.”

Regardless of whether Everton move for Dju or explore other targets, signing a striker in January is imperative.

Their attacking inefficiency continues to cost them, and without reinforcements, they risk seeing a promising campaign unravel.

Ideally, Moyes should secure a proven Premier League forward capable of delivering goals immediately, rather than taking a gamble on untested talent.
