Everton are considering making a bid for Tyrese Campbell, which could lead to issues for Sheffield United’s board.
The Toffees have been busy in the transfer market this summer, but still look a bit short up front after releasing Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Campbell scored 11 goals for Sheffield United last year, and it’s believed he would provide exciting competition to Thierno Barry and Beto at the head of Everton’s attack.
Everton have been monitoring the 25-year-old striker for a while. He is the son of the former Everton striker Kevin Campbell, and it’s thought he love to move to Merseyside for that reason.
Now, it is being reported that they will make a substantial offer to try and tempt him away from Bramall Lane.

Still, it’s not as if fan unrest has ever stopped a Football League club from cashing in on a star player before.
In fact, Everton signed Calvert-Lewin for a bargain £1.5million back in 2016, while the Blades were languishing in League One.

Proven striker could be the missing piece of the puzzle for Moyes
Everton had a slow start to the transfer window, but things are starting to take shape for David Moyes ahead of their opening Premier League fixtures against Leeds on Monday.
Moyes had previously admitted he was “desperate” to sign new players, but since then he has:
In the eyes of many, a proven Premier League striker could be the missing piece of the puzzle that propels Everton into European contention.
Is Campbell that proven striker? Not exactly.
The former Stoke City man took a while to adapt to the Championship. His return of 11 goals for the Blades last season is his highest ever tally.
He’s a naturally gifted forward, one of the strongest in the Championship on his day, although he has been plagued by fitness issues.
It would be a gamble to make a huge bid for him, but seemingly one that Moyes is willing to take.
