Everton prepare blockbuster January transfer bid for Watford star Ismaila Sarr
Everton are reportedly exploring a £35million move for Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr over the January transfer window.
According to the Mirror [9 December], the Toffees are looking for attacking reinforcements and have identified the 24-year-old as a potential option.
Sarr has now returned from the World Cup in Qatar after England knocked Senegal out recently.
Worth it?
The Toffees do need a wide attacker desperately and in Sarr they will get someone who can play all across the front three.
He’s quick, strong and has an eye for the goal – something Frank Lampard would desperately need in an attacker.
He would also like somebody to shoulder the attacking responsibilities of Dominic Calvert-Lewin who’s not been at his best of late.
His injury concerns do make it imperative for the club to sign another goal-scoring attacker, particularly after the decline of Anthony Gordon and Demarai Gray.
Even Neal Maupay appears to be a highly questionable signing as he’s not particularly known for his goal-scoring prowess and has struggled since his move to Goodison Park.
The Toffees were linked with a move for him in the summer as well and it looks like their interest has not gone away.
However, if Everton would’ve signed him in the summer, they could’ve signed him for a fee in the region of £30million but now they’ll be overpaying for his services.
