Everton ace Thierno Barry and David Moyes
Everton ace Thierno Barry and David Moyes
The French striker has been in fantastic form, with 10 goals from his opening 13 matches in all competitions.
The 24-year-old has found his feet after a miserable first campaign in English football.
He has silenced the doubters, and taken on the burden of being the only striker at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
A new update has been shared on the in-form forward, and it may spell trouble for the Blues.
Several clubs look like they will come out of the woodwork and show interest in the January transfer window.
Who wants to sign Everton star Thierno Barry?
Barry is understood to be attracting four suitors ahead of a potential Everton exit.
According to fussball-news.de, the attacker is an attractive January target for four clubs, including RB Leipzig and clubs in France.
It states that Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, and Champions League side Como are also closely monitoring his development.
It is understood that no concrete offers or advanced negotiations are in place at this time, with clubs just checking on his situation.
The report states that any transfer would prove difficult, as the Blues are unlikely to be willing to part ways with Barry, and an exit would involve "considerable costs".
Why Everton simply can't sell Barry
David Moyes' side simply are in no position to sell Barry, even if the offers are too good to turn down.
For starters, he is in great form, and scored a brace in the 3-1 win over Coventry on Friday evening.
TalkSPORT pundit Tony Cascarino described his showing as "Brilliant."
Secondly, he is the only recognised number nine on the L3 outfit's books, so they can't sanction an exit.
Even if they signed two forwards to make up for it, it is not likely that they would have the same impact that Barry has had so far this season.
He has to stay put, it is as simple as that, and the Blues have to be thinking about adding a player in his position, rather than losing the France Under-21 international.
Barry is finally showing that potential that made the Toffees spend £34million on his services, they can't allow him to depart now, when he has hit form.
