Everton ‘In Talks’ to Sign ‘Dangerous’ £35m Forward

The Toffees’ need for a new striker could be boosted tenfold if Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaves this summer.

Everton are looking to sign a new striker during the summer transfer window with talks ongoing over a deal for Chelsea’s Armando Broja, journalist Ben Jacobs has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT, though Sean Dyche and his entourage’s pursuit could depend on whether they are able to offload a big-money star beforehand in order to fund a deal.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been the Merseyside-based outfit’s primary source of goals for some time and notched a tally of seven goals and two assists in 32 Premier League outings last time out. Overall, the 11-cap Englishman has plundered 68 strikes in 247 appearances for the Toffees, but this season could mark a changing of the guard at the top of the tree.

Calvert-Lewin attracting interest

According to The Athletic, however, the Toffees’ financial uncertainty is dampening their long-term planning in terms of new incomings, which includes a new frontman, especially with the aforementioned Calvert-Lewin’s future being up in the air.

Broja of Chelsea has emerged as a potential addition, per talkSPORT, who suggest that discussions over a £30 million deal are taking place as they look to strengthen their forward line in the coming months.

Other than Calvert-Lewin, Everton depended on £25.75 million-worth Beto for goals in 2023/24, but the Portuguese has failed to set the English top flight alight since his arrival in August 2023, scoring just six goals in 39 appearances across all competitions.

Chelsea, who themselves are looking for a new marksman, have previously eyed a move for Everton’s Calvert-Lewin, while Newcastle United have also been reported as huge admirers of the gangly centre forward, which could leave Dyche and Co in a sticky situation over the summer.
