Friedkin Group to embarrass David Moyes as Everton ready new signing
Dan Friedkin is starting to annoy Everton fans as David Moyes continues to wait for transfer activity in January.
Harrison Armstrong returned to the Hill Dickinson Stadium after his loan stint at Preston North End was cut short, but no new faces have arrived at the Toffees in the winter window.
On the departure front, Harry Tyrer is expected to join Cardiff City, but it won’t be official until the Welsh outfit’s transfer embargo is lifted.
While plans are being put in place to bolster the Blues’ squad, the American owners could potentially leave the Scottish manager frustrated with the players they’re targeting.
Callum Wilson not the answer to Everton attacking woes
Thierno Barry and Beto are competing against each other to be the first-choice number nine at the Toffees, but neither of them has been good enough.
The former Villarreal striker has taken time to hit the ground running, and despite his recent upturn in form, the Frenchman still has a long way to go before convincing fans at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
As for Beto, he’s missed some sitters for the Blues this season and clearly isn’t good enough if Moyes has any ambitions of finishing in a European spot in the Premier League.
With the need for a reliable goalscorer evident, TFG have turned their attention to Callum Wilson, who’s in talks to terminate his West Ham United deal after signing for them last summer.
The England international struggled with fitness issues during his final years at Newcastle United and hasn’t necessarily made a significant impact at the London Stadium, with the Hammers stuck in the relegation zone.
It looks like the American owners are looking to embarrass the Scottish manager, who will undoubtedly be held responsible for Merseyside outfit’s eventual struggles if they don’t get some quality players through the door soon, and Wilson is arguably past his prime.
Callum Wilson surely on his way to Hill Dickinson Stadium after Tammy Abraham development
Everton pursued a deal for Tammy Abraham, but the Besiktas striker, on loan from AS Roma, seems likely to join Aston Villa.
With the Toffees missing out on the 28-year-old England international, it’s safe to say that they’ll undoubtedly progress with a move for Wilson.
TFG have shown a reluctance to spend money at the Blues in January, and a free transfer for the centre-forward will certainly entice them.
There aren’t many encouraging signs for fans in LS11 to hold on to as the Merseyside outfit show regarding recruitment.
