” EVER TON IN SHOCK TALKS TO SIGN EUROPE’S MOST UNSTOPPABLE DRIBBLER – THE MAN WHO MAKES MESSI LOOK LIKE HE’S WEARING CONCRETE BOOTS! This Transfer Will Break Football As We Know It!”
Everton are being connected with numerous European players as the January transfer window approaches.
A new striker remains high on David Moyes’ transfer agenda, and recent reports have reignited speculation about a potential move for Richarlison to return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Another name that may come into consideration is Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus, who has regained fitness after an extended spell on the sidelines.
Everton are also widening their search for fresh attacking options and, in the past day, have been credited with interest in a young Chelsea winger.
Tyrique George emerges as a key Everton target
Everton are believed to be assessing a January move for Chelsea prospect Tyrique George, revisiting an interest first noted in the summer.
Moyes clearly rates the 18-year-old highly, and the numbers underline why he stands out.
According to FBref metrics, George ranks within the top six percent of attacking players across Europe for successful take-ons per 90 minutes, showcasing his elite dribbling ability.
He is also among the top three percent for progressive passes received, a reflection of his sharp movement and willingness to attack space.
The England Under-21 international has contributed four goal involvements in his four league starts under Enzo Maresca this season, suggesting he could thrive even further with increased opportunities were Everton to tempt him to Merseyside.
Other positions should take priority
Despite George’s abundant potential, Everton may be wiser to focus their resources elsewhere.
With Chelsea expected to demand more than £20 million for the teenager, that budget might be better allocated toward securing a centre-forward and strengthening the right side of defence.
One player already under consideration is Vitinho, the Brazilian full-back currently at Botafogo.
Formerly of Burnley, he offers significantly more attacking threat than Jake O’Brien and could provide the dynamism Everton lack in that area.
Midfield reinforcements may also be necessary if the club opts not to recall Harrison Armstrong.
Idrissa Gana Gueye is likely to be absent for a substantial part of January due to AFCON commitments, leaving Moyes potentially short of depth in the centre of the pitch.
