Everton is making a surprising move to sign Almeria striker Largie Ramazani before the transfer deadline, according to sources. Almeria, who were relegated last season, will need to sell the forward before the window closes. The Toffees are in need of a new striker but are working with a limited budget.
Ramazani, who came through the academy at Man United, has one year left on his contract with Almeria. He has experience in English football and has caught the attention of Everton’s recruitment team. Despite only scoring four goals in 31 games last season, Everton sees his versatility to play as a striker or a winger as a valuable asset.
Last season, Everton struggled with scoring goals, finishing as the second-lowest scoring team in the division. With main forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto only managing to score 14 goals combined in 77 games, there is a clear need for a clinical striker in the squad. The signings of Jesper Lindstrom and Iliman Ndiaye have already been completed to bolster the attacking threat.
Additionally, there have been reports that Everton may receive late offers for Calvert-Lewin from Newcastle. The club is bracing for potential bids as they look to strengthen their squad. In the meantime, former Everton CEO has shared an update on Jarrad Branthwaite’s situation.
