Petar Sucic playing for Croatia

The Toffees are heading into a few crucial weeks both on the field and off it, with the Friedkin Group looking to sell the club.
David Moyes and his men have started the season well, and currently sit sixth in the Premier League, with a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-final booked.
One main problem for the Blues is their depth, which, luckily for them, hasn't had to be tested too much so far this campaign.
But the attacking options available have worried Evertonians, especially considering they are one Thierno Barry injury away from having no striker to choose from.
That's why January will be key for Everton's ambitions this season, but could the Toffees lure a luxury player like Sucic to Hill Dickinson?

Inter Milan are considering cashing in on Sucic in the January transfer window, with Everton and Newcastle United said to be keen.
The Toffees are reportedly tracking Sucic this winter to add to their attacking ranks.
The attacking midfielder cost Inter just short of £12million to sign from Dinamo Zagreb in 2025, but has sometimes struggled for minutes this campaign.
Sucic has been hailed an "extraordinary player", which looked to be true after he starred in Croatia's 2-1 defeat to England at Wembley in the Nations League on Thursday.
The 23-year-old scored against the Three Lions to put Croatia back on level terms right before the hour mark, but Harry Kane had the last laugh in the match.
However, Sucic still had a 95 per cent passing accuracy in the game, and tried to impose himself against Thomas Tuchel's side by having 31 touches in his 70-minute display.
So it's clear to see why the Blues are very keen on the Croat.
That said, how much could Everton realistically snatch the forward for this winter?

Inter manager Christian Chivu explained Sucic's lack of minutes following transfer speculation and tried to protect the player from external noise.
However, the versatile forward was benched in both of Inter's last two matches before the international break, playing just 21 minutes in a Champions League and Serie A contest.
As per Transfermarkt, Sucic is valued at £37.6m, a fee which TFG would have to consider in January, assuming that they have not sold the club by then.
The Houston-based company did have £40m at the ready for Folarin Balogun, so maybe they could offer Moyes one final transfer or two with Sucic and a striker.
