Everton Could Secure a Game-Changing Deal in January with £30m EFL Attacker Signing
Everton Still Struggling with Attacking Firepower
Everton made seven signings during the summer transfer window but failed to secure Lyon winger Ernest Nuamah.
As a result, they remain short on options for wide players and should consider pursuing a talented Championship winger.
The Toffees should renew their interest in Leeds winger Wilfried Gnonto in January, as they lack a dynamic presence on the flanks.
Everton had a £23 million bid for Gnonto rejected in the summer, but a £30 million offer might be sufficient to acquire the Italy international.
Gnonto has already contributed three goal involvements in seven Championship appearances this season, playing effectively on both wings.
Signing Gnonto could be a transformative move for Everton, as they currently lack a winger with his level of explosiveness and versatility.
His impact could be crucial in determining whether the club avoids relegation.
Gnonto’s underlying statistics further highlight his value. According to FBref, the 20-year-old ranks in the top 8% for non-penalty goals among positional peers in Europe.
He also ranks in the top 11% for clearances per 90 minutes, demonstrating his commitment to defensive work—an essential trait for Sean Dyche’s system.
Everton would be wise to make another attempt to sign Gnonto in January.
