Artem Dovbyk to Everton transfer on cards in ‘unique solution’ for Friedkin Group
Artem Dovbyk could swap one Friedkin Group-owned club for another by moving to Everton from Roma in the upcoming transfer window.
According to Romagiallorossa.it on 14 May, the Toffees could make another approach for the Ukraine international to bolster their attack in the summer.
The news outlet reports that signing for the Blues could end up being a “unique solution” for the 28-year-old, with the Merseysiders considering taking him on loan for the 2026-27 campaign, which could help him get back to his best and kickstart his career.
It has been claimed that Napoli are also interested in Dovbyk and the Giallorossi may be tempted to accept around £17.3million for him in the coming months.
David Moyes must demand backing at Hill Dickinson Stadium and if TFG can bring the centre-forward to L3, they should do it.

Everton need Artem Dovbyk deal more than ever
Dovbyk was one of the most sought-after number nines after his heroics with Girona, but his career in Italy has stagnated.
Injuries and a lack of regular opportunities have stunted the striker’s development at Roma, and a change in environment could undoubtedly be beneficial for him.

The Ukraine international clearly has the physicality to cope with the rigours of the Premier League and put himself back on the radar of top clubs around Europe.
A move to Hill Dickinson Stadium may be beneficial for the attacker and the Merseyside outfit, who lack depth in the number nine position.
Beto carries the flame for David Moyes, but for how long?
Beto has been one of Everton’s best players in recent weeks, scoring five goals in his last five Premier League appearances.
Moyes initially trusted Thierno Barry to lead the line, but in recent months, the former Udinese ace has pipped the French youngster in the pecking order.
While it’s encouraging to see the Guinea-Bissau star hitting form, he has generally had slow starts to his seasons at the Blues before going on a scoring spree towards the end.
Beto’s inconsistency makes him a liability at times for the Merseysiders, and with Barry also struggling to get going, Moyes may require a new centre-forward in the summer.
