Everton are now eyeing a potential late move for a Premier League striker instead of the heavily linked Hamza Igamane, according to a new report, as they look to furnish David Moyes with additional firepower as he battles relegation.
Moyes makes instant impact
Taking over from Sean Dyche earlier in January, David Moyes has made an instant impact at Everton. Though they were narrowly beaten by Aston Villa in his first Premier League game back in the dugout, back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Brighton have helped move the Toffees well clear of the relegation zone.
As it stands, they sit seven points clear of the drop, and face Leicester City in a relegation six-pointer next as they look to continue to pull away from the sides below them in what remains of the Premier League season.
However, any hopes that a change in manager would see plenty of goals at Goodison Park remain reliant on new signings, with the Toffees still the second-lowest scorers in the division despite putting three past Spurs 10 days ago.
Speaking after his takeover, Moyes admitted he felt the club needed more in attack, telling the media: “We will definitely need to do something and find ways to try and act in some way if we can.
“But in the same breath, if it is not going to improve it, there is no point wasting your money so we have to get and get that option of someone who is better than what we have got.”
