Everton could now make multiple new transfers in January window
Everton could look to sign multiple players to boost their attacking options in the January window, according to a report from Liverpool Echo.
The Toffees have struggled badly in front of goals this season, managing only 11 goals in 14 games so far, and the injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin could force the club to delve into the January market.
Frank Lampard is unsure about the budget, but he is confident that he will be backed in the next transfer window as attention is being given behind the scenes to identifying targets.
Necessary
The Toffees suffered a big blow this week after reports emerged that Calvert-Lewin will see a specialist after dislocating his shoulder. He is definitely out for the trip to Vitality Stadium, but luckily for him, he can use the World Cup break to recover fully.
Everton signed Neal Maupay from Brighton in the summer window but he has failed to make a significant impact.
The Toffees have done extremely well in adding quality players in defence and midfield, and now bolstering the attacking department has become the top priority for the club.
It was always going to be a big ask to fill the void left by Richarlison who joined Tottenham in the summer. And with Calvert-Lewin already missing a chunk of action at the start of the season, the goals have dried up.
Calvert-Lewin is expected to be fit after the World Cup, but given his injury problems, it will be a big risk if the Toffees do not sign a back-up option in January.
The finance is going to be a big issue here, and getting quality players at the right price would be a big challenge for the club.
