Moyes Ready To Unleash War Chest On Secret Target: Should Everton Prioritise Proven League Quality?

Everton are preparing to back David Moyes with a significant striker signing this summer, as The Friedkin Group signals its intent to solve the club’s most persistent problem area. According to Pete O’Rourke, Football Insider, the American owners are willing to make considerable funds available to strengthen the attack for the 2026-27 campaign.

The uncertainty surrounding both Beto and Thierno Barry has pushed the recruitment department to look elsewhere, as neither player has provided a reliable solution since joining the club. Beto has made 35 appearances this season but has managed just nine goals, and his tendency to miss big chances has drained confidence in his ability at this level. Barry, signed from Villarreal last summer, offers slightly better movement but still falls short of the goal-per-90 stats that Moyes demands. So the club is pressing forward and targeting bigger names.

Liam Delap remains at the top of the shortlist, though Chelsea‘s £30 million asking price presents a real obstacle, especially since Delap himself has struggled to meet expectations at Stamford Bridge this season. of Feyenoord has emerged as a more affordable alternative.
