Sources: Everton make move to sign Southampton star Che Adams
Everton have reignited their interest in Southampton striker Che Adams, sources have told Football Insider.
The Merseysiders are in the market for two attacking signings in the final days of the window after agreeing to sell Anthony Gordon to Newcastle United.
Gordon completed a medical at the north-east giants on Saturday morning as he completes a move worth £40million plus £5m of add-ons.
Everton are now working round-the-clock to bring in two forwards capable of slotting straight into the team.
They want an orthodox centre-forward who can spearhead the attack as well as a pacy wide player.
Adams was on Everton’s radar during the last summer window but Southampton were not willing to sell.
However, the Saints could change their stance in the coming days if they are successful in landing Stade Rennais forward Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Football Insider revealed earlier on Saturday that Southampton are in advanced talks to sign Sulemana after agreeing personal terms with him.
Goals have been a major source of problems for the Toffees this season with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Neal Maupay both misfiring.
Calvert-Lewin and Maupay have scored once each in the league this season as Everton remain in the relegation zone.
On Friday, sources told Football Insider that Sean Dyche has an agreement in principle to be the new Everton manager after Marcelo Bielsa was heavily linked with the job.
The Toffees are next in action against Arsenal on Saturday (4 February).
In other news, one pundit claims Sean Dyche is ‘already in trouble’ after £40m Everton transfer update.
