Everton are in desperate need of wingers as they prepare for life at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison both departed the Merseyside club after their loans, and David Moyes is now without natural options.
Harrison could return to Everton in a permanent capacity, although they may have to pay Leeds United £10million.
Another player who has been on the Toffees’ radar is Juventus winger Timothy Weah, who looks set to leave the Old Lady.

The United States international joined Juventus in the summer of 2023 and has made 78 appearances for the Italian club.
Last season, the winger made 30 Serie A appearances, although 18 of those came as a substitute.

Marseille have held discussions with Weah, and talks were said to be progressing well between the two parties.
Now, the Ligue 1 club are in advanced negotiations with Juve for the 25-year-old, according to Fabrizio Romano (16 July).
An agreement with the player is in place, with talks ongoing over a loan-to-buy clause, which would be mandatory.
However, a transfer fee is still being discussed for Weah, who is nearing the move he desires.

Toffees must move on to new targets as they miss out on Weah
On the face of it, Weah looks like he would have been a worthy acquisition for Moyes, but that ship seems to have left the dock.
The American notched more goals than Lindstrom and Harrison combined last season and would have filled a void.
Furthermore, Weah would likely have been available for a reduced fee, which surely would have appealed to Everton.
However, as the 25-year-old edges closer to Marseille, the Toffees must now move with haste to secure other targets.
Edon Zhegrova has been linked with a move to the Premier League club, as well as Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo.
