Overview
- A finance expert told TBR Football that Everton could fund a roughly £30m forward in January, estimating about £3.3m in amortisation plus around £3.9m in wages, implying the club needs close to £6.9m of PSR headroom.
- Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football that Everton must sign a striker in January to avoid spending the season looking over their shoulder, while stressing he does not expect them to be relegated.
- Thierno Barry, a summer signing from Villarreal, has yet to score for Everton, and Beto has two goals this season with only one in the Premier League.
- Everton drew 1-1 with Sunderland after Barry missed a close-range chance, and David Moyes reflected that goals change games and admitted his side lacked the finishing touch.
- Everton sit 14th with 10 goals from 10 league matches, reinforcing concerns that the current striker options are not converting enough chances.
