EVERTON BOSSES FLY IN PRIVATE JET TO BEG RED-HOT STRIKER WITH 18 GOALS IN 14 GAMES TO SAVE THEIR SEASON – HE’S ALREADY WORTH £100M AND MAN CITY ARE PANICKING!
Everton have endured a frustrating lack of goals from their strikers under David Moyes this season, prompting the club to consider signing a clinical finisher in the January transfer window.
Despite flashes of promise, the Toffees’ attacking shortcomings have often cost them valuable points, and the pressure was on when they hosted Fulham at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Facing Marco Silva’s side, Everton responded impressively to their recent setbacks, earning a much-needed 2-0 victory.
Goals from Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane sealed the win, offering a brief sense of relief for the home fans.
However, even with the three points secured, Moyes admitted that his team must become more efficient in front of goal if they are to climb the Premier League table and fulfill their ambitions.
Speaking after the match, Moyes praised his squad’s spirit and determination but underlined the need for more quality in attack.
“We don’t want to lose what we’ve had – desire, heart, commitment – but we need to get a little better in certain areas.
I trust the owners will support us in the upcoming windows so we can keep improving,” he said.
“To make Everton the club we want it to be, we must continue picking up wins and attracting top players like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish. That’s the level we need to aspire to.”
Nevertheless, the lack of firepower up front remains a major concern. Beto has found the net just twice this campaign, while £27 million summer arrival Thierno Barry is yet to score since his move to Merseyside.
Many believe that Everton’s current mid-table position could be much stronger if their forwards had been more ruthless in front of goal.
With that in mind, the club appear ready to act decisively in January.
Reports from Football Insider suggest Everton are targeting FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju, who has been in scintillating form this season with 18 goals for the Danish club.
The Guinea-Bissau international has drawn widespread attention across Europe, and Everton scouts were reportedly in attendance to watch him score a superb curling effort against Celtic in the Europa League — a strike that secured a 3-1 win for Midtjylland and maintained their position at the top of their group.
Comparatively, Franculino’s prolific record stands in stark contrast to Everton’s current options.
Iliman Ndiaye is the club’s top scorer with just four goals, while centre-back Michael Keane shares second place — a statistic that highlights the Toffees’ blunt attack.
Intriguingly, Moyes is said to be open to selling Beto in January, with Barry’s future also uncertain if his poor form continues. This could free up both space and funds for a new forward addition.
Alongside Franculino, Everton are reportedly monitoring another experienced European striker as they look to strengthen their goal-scoring department.
With Moyes reaffirming his belief in Everton’s long-term vision, the pursuit of a proven finisher like Franculino could be a decisive step toward building a more clinical, competitive side capable of challenging higher up the table.
