Everton target decorated forward in last-minute deadline day move – reliable journalist

David Moyes has made a fantastic start at Everton since replacing Sean Dyche, but he recognizes the need for reinforcements to keep the club out of a relegation battle.

Despite Moyes’ positive impact, Everton still require a couple of signings to strengthen their squad and climb the table.

Alan Shearer recently emphasized the importance of adding two players to avoid late-season struggles.

One signing is already close, as Charly Alcaraz is set to join from Flamengo after a deal was agreed.

However, Everton are also targeting a forward, with Timothy Weah emerging as a potential addition.

Everton Continue Pursuit of Timothy Weah

Reliable Guardian journalist Ed Aarons reported earlier today that Everton are one of three clubs looking to sign Weah before the transfer deadline.

Fulham and Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are also interested.

Aarons stated: “Understand that Everton, Fulham, and RB Leipzig are interested in signing Timothy Weah from Juventus, but the USA forward is unlikely to be allowed to leave.”

Weah, who has already won eight trophies at club level, has contributed five goals and five assists this season.

Earlier in the window, reports suggested Juventus were unwilling to sell him despite Everton’s interest.

Additionally, Everton have been linked with Lyon duo Ernest Nuamah and Rayan Cherki as alternative attacking options.

Everton’s Attack Has Improved Under Moyes

With just over 24 hours remaining in the transfer window, Everton are still working on signings.

However, their urgency to sign a forward has slightly decreased since Moyes took charge.

Under Moyes, Everton have scored eight goals in just four Premier League games. In contrast, they managed only 15 goals in 19 games under Dyche, highlighting a significant improvement in the final third.

While failing to bring in a forward wouldn’t be disastrous, it remains a risk.

Relying solely on the current squad could be a gamble, and many fans would feel more confident if Everton secured someone like Weah or Nuamah to add extra attacking firepower.
