Everton are interested in signing a “very interesting” striker during the January transfer window, according to the latest transfer update.
Everton transfer news
The Blues are looking to strengthen their squad this month, ensuring that David Moyes has enough quality to keep his team away from the relegation zone in Premier League.
Ben Chilwell is one player who has been mentioned as a loan option for Everton before the end of the month, and the Englishman is an extremely experienced player who could add quality and depth in an important position. He he did not make a single league appearance for Chelsea this season, he found himself completely out of favor with Enzo Maresca.
Right-back is arguably the more important position the Blues need to strengthen this month, with Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young coming to the end of their careers. For this reason, the ace of Southampton Kyle Walker-Peters has been linked with a move to Goodison Park, no doubt potentially keen to stay in League One if Saints are relegated to the Championship in May.
An interesting move by the former Chelsea and Arsenal winger William has also been mooted recently, with the Brazilian a free agent who could relish the idea of a return to the Premier League. At the age of 36, his best days are certainly behind him, but he could be an effective option for Moyes.
Everton have “made moves” to sign the international ace
According to the report from Calciomercato in Italy [via Sport Witness], Everton have “made moves” to sign Juventus forward Timothy Weah in the January window.
Eintracht Frankfurt are battling the Blues for the signature of the 41-game, six-goal American international, with the Merseysiders knocking on Juve’s door and awaiting a response from the Serie A giants.
Weah could be a brilliant option for Everton this month, with the Juve manager Thiago Motta praise his quality this season:“I like everything he does. Especially the fact that he scores goals.
“The forwards need to finish the attack. He does many other things well, and that is very interesting because he offers alternative solutions. He can play on the left, on the right or as a forward. He helps, he is responsible. He understands what the team needs and his duties. We are happy that he is in good form, he has to continue like this, regardless of whether he started or not.”
Weah has scored five times in just eight starts in Serie A this season, but the fact he hasn’t been a regular for the Turin giants shows why he might fancy a move away.
He is 24 years old adept at playing on both flanks and also in a central attacking roleso it’s understandable why Moyes or Dan Friedkin might see him as an ideal acquisition.

Extra attacking strength is sorely needed by Everton in January, especially if Beto’s likely departure goes through, and the American could add just that.
