Everton’s recruitment team have been drawing up a shortlist of targets for David Moyes.
The summer transfer window is fast approaching, and Everton need to address key areas of the squad.
Moyes is reportedly ‘fixating’ on signing a new striker, and multiple central midfielders have been linked recently, too.

There's going to be some different opinions on this! 🫣

Leandro Paredes said Everton target Milton Delgado is so ‘intelligent’
It has been reported that Everton are eyeing a move to sign Milton Delgado from Argentinian giants Boca Juniors.
Delgado, a 5ft 5in tall defensive midfielder, has drawn comparisons to N’Golo Kante due to his diminutive frame.

Argentina’s World Cup winner Leandro Paredes, who plays alongside Delgado, heaped glowing praise on the Toffees target last summer.
“I see Milton Delgado in very good shape,” Paredes told TyC Sports.
“I saw him play two or three matches on TV and also when we played at Huracan’s pitch in Bahia Blanca.
“I had never seen him in person before, and he plays very well: he’s very intelligent and tries to play vertically. I hope he continues to grow and try to improve.”
Given his small stature, perhaps the interest is being driven by the club rather than Moyes, as the Scotsman has historically always gone for tall and physical players.
The Friedkin Group are keen to recruit young talent as part of their transfer model, so it’ll be interesting to see if Moyes agrees with that approach again, having hardly played Tyler Dibling and Adam Aznou this season.
