Everton are already eyeing a number of strikers ahead of the summer transfer window.
David Moyes was ‘fixated’ on recruiting a new centre-forward in January, but ultimately Everton failed to get anything over the line.
Moyes is still keen to upgrade on Thierno Barry and Beto, so the Toffees are drawing up a list of targets.
Alexander Sorloth has been linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium over the last week, and Jonathan David is also emerging as a target.

Now, it’s being reported that Everton are keeping an eye on Raul Jimenez, with his Fulham contract due to expire at the end of the season.
Nuno Espirito Santo is a big admirer of Jimenez and has hailed him several times in the past.

“It’s the way that he plays, the way he upsets teams, the way that he keeps the shape. It’s his talent, his qualities, and he’s doing really, really well.”
Jimenez has continued to impress at Fulham, as he’s registered a very commendable 12 goal involvements this term.

The 34-year-old would be a very good striker for Barry to learn from, as he’s clearly in need of a mentor around Finch Farm.
It would also be a risk-free signing, as at the moment, he’s set to be available on a free transfer.
Everton could certainly do a lot worse.
