Everton are showing an interest in Robin Mirisola ahead of the summer transfer window.
David Moyes is ‘fixated’ on signing a new centre-forward, with Beto and Thierno Barry not consistent enough.
Everton have been scouting Robin Mirisola after his breakthrough season for Belgian giants Genk.
You can only name one! Which one takes top spot for you? 🤩

Mirisola has registered six goal involvements, and he’s been promoted to Belgium’s under-21s side recently.
However, despite showing great promise, it’d be a big mistake for Everton to sign him in a reported £22m deal.

Everton need an experienced centre-forward this summer
Mirisola only celebrated his 19th birthday in December, so he’s several years away from reaching his peak.
The 2006-born has made just 31 senior appearances throughout his short career, scoring three goals.

Everton should be signing a ready-made striker who won’t need time to develop, as that’s been the problem with Barry.
It seems the Friedkin Group’s fingerprints are all over this deal, as they have visions of becoming the next Borussia Dortmund.
The American investors want to sign Europe’s best talent and develop them into world beaters on Merseyside.
Moyes probably feels a lot different, as the Scotsman has always valued experience over youth for the most part.
The Toffees have been linked to Alexander Sorloth, who is a 30-year-old centre-forward for Atletico Madrid.
That’s probably a Moyes target, so the club should back him and bring in players he wants to recruit.
