David Moyes could be set to transform Everton’s forward line in the summer transfer market.
The Scotsman has revitalised the Blues since his return to Goodison Park to replace Sean Dyche, who was sacked in January.
The ex-West Ham manager has lost just two of the nine matches he has taken charge of since returning to the Goodison Park dugout, with 15 points separating them and the bottom three.
However, concerns remain about the Toffees’ options in attack with out-of-contract star Dominic Calvert-Lewin and loanee Armando Broja set to depart at the end of the season.

Everton plot move for Norwich star Josh Sargent
The Blues are keen on a summer move for Norwich forward Josh Sargent, according to Everton News.
The report (6 March) claims that the Toffees are in the market for a new number nine and are working on several options ahead of the transfer window.
It states that the Goodison Park outfit have monitored the American attacker in the last few weeks and he is viewed as the perfect kind of striker that would thrive under Moyes
Everton buyer Dan Friedkin
Dan Friedkin will back Moyes in the summer window.
Sargent move would be a risk for Everton
Sargent has notched 11 goals and five assists in the Championship so far this season but questions remain over his ability to perform in the Premier League.
The last time the American forward featured in the top-flight was with the Canaries in the 2021/22 campaign, but he could only manage two goals and one assist in 26 appearances.
Stats (Championship) Goals Assists
Sargent 11 5
Sargent’s Championship stats this season.
His stats for the United States national team do not suggest he could make the step up as he has only notched five goals in 27 caps.
The move would be a risk for the Blues but Moyes has proved his ability to transform attackers since he replaced Dyche, with Beto scoring five in his last five league matches.
Therefore, a swoop for Sargent may make sense if the Scotsman feels like he can have the same impact on the former Werder Bremen star.
With the Friedkin Group set to back Moyes ahead of the move to the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, the Norwich man may represent a bargain deal if he can be secured f
or the right price.
