Everton want to sign Vanat as transfer clause emerges in contract already
Vladyslav Vanat has emerged as a target for Everton this summer.
David Moyes is in desperate need of attacking reinforcements in the transfer window after his side finished with the fourth-lowest goals tally in the Premier League.
Beto is attracting interest from Leeds United, and it does not look like Dominic Calvert-Lewin will extend his contract with Italian clubs chasing his services, so reinforcements are essential.
Everton in the chase for Vanat as clause revealed
Moyes is set to be backed by the Friedkin Group in the market, and the Toffees could add Vanat to their roster, but will face competition from Premier League rivals.
A report from TaToTake (9 June) claims that the Blues are interested in the 23-year-old alongside the likes of Fulham, Leeds and Sunderland, who are the favourites, for his signature [Mackem News].
It states that the teammate of Vitaliy Mykolenko at international level will cost £17million due to a clause in his Dynamo Kyiv contract.
Vanat could be a good signing for Everton
Moyes is targeting qualification for European competition next season, and to do that, he needs to add goals to his team.
Beto and Calvert-Lewin combined for just 11 goals last season, which is simply not good enough to accomplish what the Scotsman wants.
Vanat, on the other hand, notched 21 goals and nine assists in 45 matches, which is an impressive record regardless of the league quality in Ukraine.
It would be a punt to bring him to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, given the lack of top-flight experience in England, but for less than £20m, it is probably worth it considering the lack of goals that they currently possess.
Surely the young star could not do any worse than their current options, and his relationship with his fellow Ukrainian could help him settle in quickly on Merseyside if he makes the move and get to grips with the pace of the game.
Everton could save money by bringing him in, and it would allow them to reinvest in other positions of need, such as midfield and on the wings, which are a priority ahead of the new campaign.
