Exclusive: Everton Keeping a Close Eye on Ligue 1’s ‘Player of the Year’, Could Revamp Moyes’ Attack
Everton's Priority This Summer Will Be Signing a New Striker
David Moyes has faced several challenges regarding his attacking options since taking charge in January.
One of the ongoing concerns is the future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has yet to sign a new contract despite offers from the club.
Everton have relied on Beto to lead the attack, but even the Portuguese striker has encountered issues after a promising start under Moyes.
With both Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja potentially leaving the club in the summer, Everton is prioritizing the acquisition of a new striker.
Graeme Bailey, TBR Football’s Chief Correspondent, recently shared insight with Everton News regarding the growing interest in a highly promising striker.
Everton Eyeing Strasbourg’s Emanuel Emegha
Everton boasts some exciting young talent, but the club requires proven players to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
According to Bailey, Strasbourg’s Emanuel Emegha is emerging as a target for Everton.
“He’s on Everton’s list. It’s unlikely Chelsea will make a move for him,” Bailey explained. “He’s very, very good.
West Ham has shown interest, but Everton has also been tracking him for a few weeks. He’s definitely an option.”
While there are suggestions that Everton are also interested in Liam Delap, the club faces stiff competition to secure the Ipswich Town striker’s signature.
The 20-year-old has caught the attention of many Premier League clubs, especially as Ipswich faces imminent relegation to the Championship.
Emegha Shines as One of Ligue 1’s Top Talents
Emegha has had an outstanding season with Strasbourg, helping the team secure a spot in the top half of Ligue 1 and pushing for Champions League qualification.
The 22-year-old has been a key player in their success, scoring more goals this season than all of Everton’s current strikers combined, despite being early in his career.
The French media has taken note of Emegha’s impressive performances, even labeling him as “the player of the year” for his contributions as a Dutch centre-forward.
His form has caught the attention of multiple Premier League clubs, further fueling the growing interest in his services.
