EVERTON BOMBSHELL: STAR STRIKER’S MIRACULOUS INJURY COMEBACK JUST IN TIME – JANUARY TRANSFER TO GOODISON PARK IS BASICALLY SEALED! FANS, ARE YOU READY TO EXPLODE WITH JOY?!
Everton set for a busy January as David Moyes targets attacking reinforcements to boost his goal threat
Thierno Barry and Beto have both endured difficult starts to the season at Everton, with neither player staking a convincing claim to be the club’s first-choice striker.
Barry was handed a starting opportunity in the 1-1 draw against Sunderland on 3 November but failed to make the most of it, missing a gilt-edged chance when he blazed over from close range after being found by a delightful Jack Grealish cross.
Despite that frustrating outing, manager David Moyes is considering keeping faith with Barry for Saturday’s clash against Fulham, hoping that consistent game time will help the young forward settle and find his rhythm in front of goal.
Meanwhile, Everton are monitoring Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus ahead of the January transfer window.
Reports suggest the Brazilian could be available for a cut-price fee, as Arsenal look to balance their finances after a heavy summer of spending that included the acquisition of Viktor Gyökeres.
With Kai Havertz also nearing a return after the international break, Jesus may find himself surplus to requirements at the Emirates Stadium.
However, Everton’s biggest concern surrounds the 28-year-old’s fitness record. Jesus has been plagued by recurring injuries in recent years, most notably suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in January, which has sidelined him for nearly 11 months.
Encouragingly, Arsenal released footage on Thursday showing the striker back in full training, hinting at a potential return in time for the winter window.
If Everton were to secure his signature, Jesus would offer a different attacking dimension.
Unlike Barry or Beto, the Brazilian operates as a mobile false-nine — dropping deep to link play, drifting into wide areas, and combining creatively with wingers.
Though capable in aerial duels, his true strength lies in his technical ability and movement with the ball.
During his debut campaign with Arsenal, Jesus was instrumental in their title challenge, registering 11 goals and seven assists in 26 appearances.
Such impact demonstrates the transformative potential he could bring to Goodison Park.
Nevertheless, Everton’s hierarchy must weigh the risks carefully. Even at a reduced fee, Jesus’ substantial wages represent a major financial commitment — one that could backfire if his injury troubles persist.
Still, his progress in recovery is a positive sign and a development that could influence Everton’s decision-making as they look to strengthen their attacking options in January.
