“Armando Broja’s loan spell unbalanced: Is this the best replacement option? The Friedkins are poised to make a key decision on Broja, with the ‘phenomenal’ striker now open to joining Everton.
Everton’s biggest issue this season has been their inability to score goals.
In their recent defeat to Aston Villa, David Moyes marked his return to Goodison Park with a game where Everton failed to find the back of the net. Although they had chances, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin missing several key opportunities, the Toffees remain the Premier League’s second-lowest goal scorers, with just 15 goals in 20 games.
Moyes is eager to sign a new forward this month, and the need for reinforcements is clear.
With the January transfer window now at its midpoint, one striker reportedly interested in a move to Merseyside is Evan Ferguson. Earlier in the window, it was suggested that Everton could sign the young forward on loan until the end of the season. Ferguson is seeking regular football for his development, and journalist Harry Watkinson has stated that the Irish international would be open to a move.
However, there is a twist: Watkinson later reported that Ferguson is no longer an option for Everton this month due to his injury, although he would still welcome a potential transfer.
Everton’s plans could change, especially after Armando Broja sustained a fresh injury last week. With Broja now likely out for three months, the club may reconsider Ferguson as a target.
Everton could also explore bringing Tom Cannon back from his loan at Leicester City, though this may be a controversial move after they recently sold him.
In the wake of Broja’s injury, Moyes confirmed that the striker could be sidelined for up to 12 weeks due to ankle ligament damage, potentially leading to the termination of his loan. This would open up a spot in Everton’s loan quota, possibly paving the way for another forward to be signed.
Whatever the case, it is clear that Everton must bring in a new striker if they hope to address their ongoing struggles in front of goal.
