What's now being said about Everton transfer as Jamie Vardy reaches new agreement
The Clarets have announced the arrival of the 39-year-old on a one-year contract as they look to get back into the Premier League.
With the Toffees desperate for attacking reinforcements, the former Leicester City star was being linked with a move to L3.
David Moyes is left with Thierno Barry as his only natural striker and could certainly have done well with someone like Vardy at his disposal.
The Englishman is now tasked with navigating the Championship with Burnley.
For the Merseyside outfit, it will be interesting to see whether they push forward on their interest in other free agents.
Reality of Jamie Vardy transfer to Everton
Vardy was being suggested as an option for Everton, but he has signed for Burnley.
talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has revealed that the Toffees may not necessarily have been in the race for the former England international.
Former Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is someone the Blues have been keeping an eye on.
Whether the 39-year-old striker would've made a difference at Hill Dickinson Stadium is up for debate.
Speaking on talkSPORT during the Merseyside outfit's 2-2 draw to the Red Devils, Crook said, "I'm not sure if that was ever realistic.
"I've heard of a few free agents they were looking at, [one being] Anthony Martial. But is a 39-year-old Vardy really the answer to Everton's goalscoring problems?"
What Thierno Barry display vs Manchester United says about transfer need
Everton got a late winner against Man United courtesy of Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
The Red Devils took the lead twice at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but Moyes' side showed grit by coming back twice.
It was two impressive strikes that got the Toffees the three points, with Tyrique George beating Senne Lammens from a tight angle for the first goal.
Barry was wasteful against Bournemouth and continued that trend against Man United as he had a decent opportunity to score from a header, but the effort was well wide.
If the last two matches are anything to go by, then Moyes can't rely on the French youngster to be his main goalscoring outlet this season.
