Everton submit bid to sign Youssef En-Nesyri as multi-million fee revealed, Fenerbahce respond
Everton remain linked with a move to sign Fenerbahce striker Youssef En-Nesyri.
David Moyes has received no backing from The Friedkin Group, with Everton yet to make a single January signing.
Several players have been linked, though, with En-Nesyri heavily mooted for a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton were said to have made a bid to sign the former Sevilla star earlier this week, with a new update emerging on their pursuit.
Everton have loan offer accepted for Youssef En-Nesyri transfer
Signing a striker has been a priority for Everton since Thierno Barry’s frailties started to emerge after his summer move.
Neither he nor Beto have been able to score the goals to see the Toffees progress up the Premier League table, with Everton among the lowest scorers in the division.
They’re looking to rectify that with the signing of En-Nesyri, with a report from Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu stating that they have now had a loan offer accepted by Fenerbahce.
It would see the Toffees pay the Moroccan striker £3.9million for the rest of the season, though he is said to be unsure as to whether he wants to make the move.
En-Nesyri has scored seven goals in 10 Super Lig starts for Fenerbahce this season, having scored 30 across all competitions last campaign.

Everton are making a big mistake with En-Nesyri
Based on his goalscoring record, En-Nesyri seems like a no-brainer for the Toffees in their search to rectify their attacking concerns.
The 28-year-old has 131 career goals throughout spells with Malaga, Leganes, Sevilla and Fenerbahce.
However, En-Nesyri is not the type of striker that Everton need to sign this January; in fact, he is the complete opposite.
En-Nesryi is a very similar player to Beto, just with more goals.
His transitional play is weak, and if he isn’t given the service, his influence in games is nonexistent.
If Moyes can improve the service that the strikers get in his system, then this move will pay off. Otherwise, it would prove to be another big recruitment error.
