Everton Target Prolific 26-Year-Old Striker For January Move: Should They Go After Him?

Everton have emerged as the leading Premier League contenders to sign a prolific Rennes striker, with interest growing ahead of the January transfer window. According to TEAMtalk journalist Graeme Bailey , Everton, Leeds United and Aston Villa monitored Esteban Lepaul during the summer.

Brentford and Brighton have joined the wider scouting picture, although Everton currently hold the strongest interest. From France’s lower leagues to Rennes Lepaul’s rise has been remarkable.

After leaving Lyon’s youth system in 2020, the French forward rebuilt his career away from the spotlight before reaching the top flight with Angers. He scored 10 goals for Angers, convincing Rennes to secure his services in 2025.
