As Everton look to welcome their first signing of the Friedkin era and David Moyes’ second tenure, the Toffees have now reportedly set their sights on hijacking West Ham United’s move to sign a £25m forward.

Whilst their chances of survival have looked up since the arrival of Moyes for his second spell in charge, Everton still need a number of fresh faces if they are to rise out of the depths of a relegation battle and into the comforts of mid-table. On that front, a number of names have already been mentioned too, as Friedkin look to splash the cash for the first time since taking charge.
Among those names has been Emerson Royal, who is set to fall down the AC Milan pecking order after Kyle Walker’s January arrival. Those at Goodison Park could finally replace an ageing Ashley Young by handing Royal the chance to secure Premier League redemption for the first time since leaving Tottenham Hotspur last summer.
It’s not just their backline that needs improving, however, with Everton currently set to lose Dominic Calvert-Lewin when his contract comes to an end in the summer. With that in mind, one target has reportedly emerged.
According to De Telegraaf in the Netherlands, Everton now want to hijack West Ham’s deal to sign Brian Brobbey with the Dutchman already in London amid recent speculation.
