Everton are interested in signing a Serie A attacker in January as they try to strengthen their squad in order to remain in the Premier League. Everton regaining form after a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Everton won 2-0 on the road against newly promoted Ipswich Town thanks to goals from Iliman NDiaye and Michael Keane, moving them farther away from the relegation zone and making it four games unbeaten.
Sean Dyche’s side had a disastrous start, losing each of their first four games and appeared nearly certain to be relegated from the Premier League. However, they have shown indications of improvement in recent weeks and have moved away from the drop zone, a trend they want to maintain in the coming weeks. Dyche expressed his “really pleased” reaction to the victory. “I thought it was a terrific performance in a variety of ways, and we were productive offensively. Three points brings us to eight from four games.
“I thought we controlled the game well, especially as these came up with a fantastic season last season but we have a more experienced group and that showed with how we managed the game.”We’re demonstrating once again that we’re a terrific team. I always believe in the players and the staff. I didn’t believe we were so far off at the start of the season; we had a few setbacks, but we’re learning from them,” the Toffees manager remarked.
However, Everton are apparently looking to Serie A to ensure they continue to score consistently. Everton preparing a move for Chukwueze That comes as Football Insider reports that the Toffees are considering a move for AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze as they want more creativity in wide areas. Chukwueze, estimated at £12 million, had been linked with Everton for some time and appeared to be struggling to feature for Paulo Fonseca’s side, with Serie A pundit Matteo Bonetti stating that “Chukwueze’s work rate is outstanding but he’s still too wasteful in possession”.
However, he opened his account for the season in their most recent victory against Udinese, and as a result, the source says that “a deal for the winger will be difficult to accomplish” in January, despite Everton “plotting a move” to entice him away from San Siro. They are also keeping an eye on Bologna forward Santiago Castro, with Everton “expected to have cash to spend” if their purchase by the Friedkin Group goes ahead as planned.
Still only 20 years old, the Argentine has three goals in eight games for Bologna, but he can also play Champions League football, which Everton cannot provide. Though Everton is interested, this could be a dealbreaker if Bologna remains in the tournament in January, and Chukwueze appears to be Milan’s top target.
