Everton Eye £44m Striker: Should Moyes Risk The Fee?

From the source
Everton’s push for European football is gathering pace under David Moyes, but the frontline has almost no cover. A 1-0 league win and a 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle have kept the mood positive, with seventh place giving the campaign momentum.
That progress makes the striker situation harder to ignore. Everton sold Beto to Fiorentina for £15m in the summer and failed to complete a deadline-day move for Folarin Balogun, leaving Thierno Barry as Moyes’ only centre-forward.
The 23-year-old, contracted until June 2029, has delivered four league goals and eight across all competitions in 2026/27. Braiden Graham, an 18-year-old academy forward whose deal expires in June 2027, remains the only internal alternative and has little senior experience.
