SHOCKING EVERTON BOMBSHELL: £70M SUPERSTAR SET TO EXPLODE GOODISON PARK IN JANUARY AS MOYES UNLEASHES INSANE REBUILD APOCALYPSE!
Everton are desperate to add firepower to their attack, with goals proving hard to come by so far this season.
The current striking options of Beto and Thierno Barry have struggled to make an impact, leaving the club short of cutting edge in the final third and prompting plans for reinforcements.
According to Football Insider, Everton have set their sights on Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson as a potential solution next summer.
The Senegal international is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, though the German champions are not expected to make the deal permanent.
Before his loan move, Chelsea had valued Jackson between £80 million and £100 million, eventually agreeing a £70 million buy option with Bayern.
That same figure is expected to be demanded from Everton if they decide to pursue a permanent transfer.
Jackson found himself out of favour under Enzo Maresca following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, and although he has shown promise in the Bundesliga, his future at Stamford Bridge looks uncertain.
From Everton’s perspective, Jackson would be a valuable addition.
His pace, intelligent movement, and composed finishing could provide the attacking spark Sean Dyche’s side have been missing.
The 24-year-old impressed at Chelsea last season and was previously a standout performer at Villarreal, suggesting he could rediscover his best form in a more settled and less pressured environment.
However, Everton’s financial limitations make it highly unlikely they will meet Chelsea’s £70 million valuation.
With several forwards expected to be available in the summer transfer window following the World Cup, the Toffees may instead explore more affordable alternatives.
Ultimately, the situation may hinge on whether Chelsea lower their asking price or if Maresca opts to give Jackson another chance in his squad.
Either way, Everton’s pursuit of attacking reinforcements looks certain to continue as they aim to solve their ongoing goalscoring woes.
