INSANE TRANSFER BOMBSHELL! Everton Set to SOLVE Goal Drought FOREVER by Snatching ENGLAND’S HOTTEST STAR Striker Who’s SUDDENLY Up for Grabs – You Won’t BELIEVE Who It Is!

The two players, recruited for a combined fee of €55 million, have managed to deliver just three goals between them in all competitions this season, despite logging more than 1,600 minutes of action collectively.

That return underlines a broader issue for Everton, whose struggles in front of goal have persisted even during a relatively solid campaign overall.

David Moyes has done an admirable job in steering the Toffees into the Premier League’s top half, yet that position has been achieved despite one of the weakest attacking records in the division.

Going into the recent home fixture against Arsenal, Everton had scored only 18 league goals.

Only Nottingham Forest and Wolves had failed to reach or surpass that total, highlighting how blunt Everton have been in the final third.

Everton’s January plans

The January transfer window offers Moyes a timely chance to address these shortcomings, and it is an opportunity he will be keen to seize.

Reinforcements at full-back are expected to be on the agenda, but there is also a growing belief that Everton’s attacking options must be improved if they are to push on in the second half of the season.

Rather than simply adding another striker to an already misfiring forward line, Everton could benefit more from targeting a creative presence capable of supplying chances.

One such option is Angel Gomes, currently at Marseille, who could help unlock Everton’s attack and bring greater fluency in the final third.

Gomes has not officially been placed on the transfer list by Marseille, but L’Equipe reports that he may be allowed to leave after struggling for consistent minutes in recent weeks.

The England international joined the French club on a free transfer from Lille during the summer, yet has found opportunities limited since his arrival.

At 25, Gomes is a technically gifted playmaker whose strengths lie in chance creation rather than goal scoring.

His arrival could significantly boost Everton’s attacking output, particularly given that the club’s main forwards are currently joint fifth among Everton players for Premier League shots this season — a clear indication of how isolated they have been.

There are strong reasons to believe a move would suit both parties.

Why Everton should target Angel Gomes

According to data specialists SciSports, Gomes appears an excellent fit for Everton.

Their Career Advice tool awards the Toffees a Club Fit score of 77 for the former Manchester United academy graduate, suggesting he would enjoy regular minutes in a tactical setup that complements his skill set.

Comfortable operating as either a No.8 or a No.10, Gomes also has personal motivation.

With one eye on breaking into Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup plans, a sustained run of form in the Premier League could place him firmly back on the radar. Everton could offer him that platform.

Financing a deal should not be prohibitive. Marseille are reportedly open to discussions in January, with a loan move a realistic possibility.

Gomes’ Estimated Transfer Value is €17.4 million, meaning a permanent deal could also represent value for money.

With January notoriously difficult for striker recruitment, Everton would be wise to explore alternative solutions.

Gomes represents a low-risk, high-upside option who could provide the creative spark Everton desperately need.
