Everton have submitted a £37million bid for Roma striker Artem Dovbyk, sources have told Football Insider.

The Merseyside club have turned their attention to signing a centre-forward after completing the capture of Jack Grealish.

Sources say Everton have tabled an offer for Dovbyk, 28, whose club is also owned by the Friedkin Group.

The 36-time Ukraine international has been the subject of interest from multiple Premier League clubs this summer.

He is believed to be keen on a move to England 18 months after joining Roma from Spanish club Girona.

Everton join crowded race for Artem Dovbyk

A number of English sides have been credited with an interest in Dovbyk, including Leeds United, West Ham, and Sunderland.

Now, Everton have joined their fellow Premier League clubs in the race for the 28-year-old, who scored 12 Serie A goals for Roma last season.

David Moyes' side came up against Dovbyk in a friendly last weekend (9 August), in what was the Toffees' last pre-season game before the start of the domestic campaign.

Roma ran out 1-0 winners at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the Ukrainian playing 80 minutes at centre-forward before being replaced by Brighton loanee Evan Ferguson.

Everton may make late move for Rangers star

Meanwhile, Rangers are expecting to receive a number of offers for Hamza Igamane in the closing stages of the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

The Glasgow giants were expecting a lot of interest in the 22-year-old this summer, but there has been no official bids for him so far.

Everton are one of the teams linked with Igamane, as they look to bolster their attacking ranks ahead of the upcoming campaign.

However, sources say that the interested clubs are waiting for the Moroccan’s asking price to drop before making any formal approaches.
