Everton Eyeing Leicester City Striker Patson Daka Ahead of Transfer Deadline
With the transfer deadline looming, Everton is scrambling to bolster its attacking options. The Toffees are particularly interested in acquiring a new striker, with Leicester City’s Patson Daka emerging as a prime target.
According to reports, Leicester City is open to selling Daka, who has been impressive despite limited playing time. Former Leicester player Iwan Roberts has praised Daka as “brilliant,” and his goal-scoring record in limited minutes is promising.
Everton’s need for a new striker has intensified following Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hamstring injury. With Beto as the only senior striker fit and available, manager David Moyes is under pressure to secure reinforcements before the deadline.
Interestingly, Leicester City’s willingness to sell Daka to a relegation rival highlights their concerns about breaching Premier League profit and sustainability regulations (PSR). Everton, meanwhile, is also exploring options from abroad, leveraging Kevin Thelwell’s connections in France.
The Toffees’ pursuit of Daka comes amid reports of interest in Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi. With the transfer deadline fast approaching, Everton fans will be eagerly awaiting news of potential signings.
