Everton’s search for a new striker is already hitting some obstacles.
David Moyes will be wanting to put his feet up and relax ahead of the summer transfer market opening, but the demand for strikers is already heating up.
Heading into the Friedkins’ first summer on Merseyside, Everton are open to signing two new strikers for the 2025/26 campaign.
Everton ended their 2024/25 season in style, but their struggles in front of goal had certainly hindered them throughout.
With clubs looking to steal a march ahead of the window, Chelsea appear to have won the race for Liam Delap already.
This is going to force Everton to look at their other options but clubs may not be so keen to offload their top scorers this summer.

According to Bild, Stuttgart are attempting to secure their striker’s services with a new and improved deal.
The German side are now looking to do ‘everything they can’ to keep the 23-year-old at the club with interest coming from the likes of Atletico Madrid.
Woltemade is currently one of Stuttgart’s lowest earners, but talks could soon begin to quickly rectify that following his strong performances.
Everton are prioritising a new striker signing this summer in what is seemingly an incredibly competitive market.
The window has not even opened yet and clubs are already looking to put deals in place.
Everton still awaiting Dominic Calvert-Lewin decision
The clock is ticking and Everton are still waiting on an answer from some of their out-of-contract players.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s Everton future remains uncertain as he and Idrissa Gana Gueye could still leave the club on a free.
It will frustrate some Everton fans that resolutions are yet to be found, but the club should not fear losing the striker.
Injuries have hamstrung Calvert-Lewin and this could be the fresh start both parties need.
Everton are showing interest in Callum Wilson which would seem a like for like replacement in many ways.
But there are plenty of young strikers who the club are also considering as upgrades on their current options.
