“SHOCKING Everton Bombshell: Jaw-Dropping ‘MEGA’ Offer Needed to Snag Red-Hot Striker Poised for Stunning January Exit!”

A great deal of positive work was completed over the summer by The Friedkin Group to strengthen Everton’s squad with quality additions.

Nine new signings arrived during the new ownership’s first transfer window on Merseyside, yet not every position on the club’s wish list could be addressed.

Manager David Moyes acknowledged that it was impossible to solve every squad issue in one window, hinting at further reinforcements when the January transfer market opens.

Despite a solid start to the 2025/26 campaign, there remains a clear need for improvement in attack, where Everton’s strikers have struggled to deliver consistent goals.

Club legend Duncan Ferguson voiced his disappointment following the midweek draw with West Ham United, suggesting that the forwards failed to make the most of their opportunities.

With recruitment efforts now shifting toward the upcoming window, Everton News’ transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey has shed light on one ambitious target.

Everton would need a huge deal to sign Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus

Recent reports have linked Everton with a potential move for Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian international is keen to secure more regular playing time as he looks to earn a spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup.

Bailey told Everton News that while Jesus could be available soon, any deal would be complicated and expensive.

“Gabriel Jesus is likely to leave Arsenal in 2026, and quite possibly January,” he said. “But his deal is huge — it would take something massive to put a deal together.”

Sources claim Everton have already made an enquiry, with the club aware of the need for greater quality up front. While a striker remains a priority, other areas of the squad also require attention.

Gabriel Jesus would be a major risk for Everton

There’s no questioning Jesus’ ability, as he has consistently shown flashes of brilliance in the Premier League.

However, Moyes has been unimpressed with Beto’s single goal this season, and it remains uncertain whether Jesus would truly solve Everton’s scoring issues.

Pep Guardiola, his former boss at Manchester City, once described him as “one of the best signings we have made,” praising his relentless work ethic. Yet Jesus’ persistent injury problems are a significant concern.

For Moyes, the most valuable trait a player can offer is availability — something Jesus has struggled to maintain since joining Arsenal.
