Everton remain busy in the transfer window as they look to strengthen all levels at Finch Farm.

David Moyes will have demanded more from the Friedkins this summer after his miserable end to the Premier League season.

With Europe in touching distance, injuries hit hard and Everton missed out, although that was seen as somewhat of an excuse.

Hayden Hackney has signed from Middlesbrough since, with Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl staying on permanently.

But now, eyes are on Ollie Dewsbury.

Somewhat unheard of, Everton are looking to get a deal over the line with Bristol Rovers ahead of Premier League champions Arsenal.

What is the latest with Ollie Dewsbury at Everton

Goodison News has covered what could be on Everton's transfer wishlist next, with attackers on the agenda.

But, a young attacker from League Two probably wasn't in mind.

Bristol Live has reported that Dewsbury is now training with Everton ahead of a possible move.

The Hill Dickinson Stadium is said to be his most likely destination ahead of Arsenal, Stoke and Fulham.

If his week with the Blues is positive, Dewsbury is expected to sign within days for a likely six-figure fee.

How did Ollie Dewsbury make history in FA Cup?

Now a Wales under-19 international, Dewsbury has progressed through the ranks positively with the Gas.

But, back in 2019 in the FA Cup, he made history.

Coming off the bench against Whitby Town, he became the youngest-ever player to feature in the FA Cup for Bristol Rovers.

Everton could be the perfect next landing spot, but he's got plenty of growing up to do first.

After loan spells with the likes of Yate Town and Taunton Town in lower league football, expectations could be dragged back.

When thinking of young forwards on Merseyside, it's hard not to immediately go to Wayne Rooney, but that expectation could stop Dewsbury before he even begins.

Moyes isn't exactly known for his use of academy talents either, but someone has to buck that trend eventually.

Primarily playing from the left, if Dewsbury signs and Jack Grealish returns, he could have the perfect role model immediately.
