Everton target labelled ‘unstoppable’ as goal-scoring streak continues in Europa League
Franculino Dju has continued his insane goal-scoring run in the Europa League as Everton continue to chase the striker.
Given the Toffees’ woes up top, it is no surprise that David Moyes is targeting a new attacker.
Beto has been terrible for Everton this season, while Thierno Barry is without a goal since signing in the summer.
One player who has been linked to Everton is Dju, who continued to show his worth on Thursday.

Dju had been linked with Everton in the summer, but Moyes opted against making a move.
However, it now seems that this interest has been revived, with Toffees scouts spotted at a recent Midtjylland match.
Dju has been on fine form this season in the Danish Superliga, netting 13 times in 13 games in the division.
Now, this form as continued in the Europa League, with Midtjylland hosting Celtic on Thursday.
Here, the Danish side battered the Scottish champions, going 3-0 up at half-time before eventually winning 3-1.
Dju got the third goal for the hosts, with a fantastic finish after Celtic failed to clear from a corner.
Commentating on the match on TNT Sports on 6 November, former Celtic defender Johan Mjallby was quick to praise the Guinea-Bissau international.
He said: “This kid, he is unstoppable. What a finish.”
What were Dju’s stats against Celtic?
According to Sofascore, Dju had an excellent game against Celtic.
The striker had four shots, with two being on target, while also creating one big chance.
