Everton also have a "fantastic" winger on their list of targets in the summer transfer window despite closing in on a deal for Jack Grealish, according to an update from Sky Sports reporter Alan Myers.
Everton set to complete Jack Grealish signing
The Merseysiders return to Premier League action next Monday evening, making the trip to Leeds United before hosting their first competitive game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium the following weekend. Everton have conducted some key transfer business this summer, and it looks as though it's a matter of time until Jack Grealish is unveiled as their latest addition, having been a key attacking target in recent weeks.
The 29-year-old is set to seal a season-long loan move to the Blues, having fallen out of favour under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, as he looks for a strong season ahead of the 2026 World Cup next year.
Moyes has spoken glowingly about Grealish in the past, which bodes well for their relationship, with the Everton boss even once saying of him: "He is a really good player and probably the best player in the Premier League at this time. He has done such a big job at that club (Villa) and is probably the best player in the league right now."
Everton eyeing move for "fantastic" winger
Now, according to Myers on X, Everton have Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu on the list of summer transfer options, looking to potentially bring him in as an added boost to their attacking depth with Grealish.
Fatawu could be a brilliant signing by the Blues ahead of the new season, with the 21-year-old no doubt liking the idea of returning to the Premier League rather than staying in the Championship with Leicester.
The 19-cap Ghana international featured for 78 minutes in the Foxes' 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday afternoon, but there is no guarantee that he will still be at the club beyond the end of the window.
Fatawu has a huge amount of natural talent, being described as "fantastic" by scout Jacek Kulig in the past, and his ability to thrive on either wing will immediately enhance the squad depth at Moyes' disposal.
A tally of 15 assists in 57 appearances for Leicester highlights Fatawu's creativity out wide, so new signing Thierno Barry could love the idea of the Blues snapping him up.
