Everton manager David Moyes has confirmed the club is looking into signing players who are free agents—those not under contract with any team—as the summer transfer window closes. This comes after a difficult transfer period that left the team with only Thierno Barry as a senior striker. Everton had nearly secured deals for Richarlison of Tottenham and Folarin Balogun of Monaco, but both collapsed at the last minute. A final attempt to sign Joshua Zirkzee on loan from Manchester United was also turned down.
Despite the challenges, Moyes suggested the club might still make additions to its squad before the transfer window officially closes. Reports indicate that former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has been "offered" to Everton. Martial, who left Mexican club Monterrey in June and is now a free agent, has significant Premier League experience, having played for Manchester United for nine years. The 30-year-old is reportedly considering a return to England.
Everton has also been linked with Jamie Vardy, a free agent after leaving Italian side Cremonese. Vardy, a long-time star for Leicester City, has been one of the most consistent strikers in the Premier League over the years. Moyes expressed his disappointment with the summer transfer activity, emphasizing the need to build a squad capable of competing at the top end of the league.
The club's transfer struggles have raised questions about their ability to strengthen their team before the new season begins. While Moyes remains optimistic, the lack of major signings has left fans concerned about Everton's prospects in the upcoming Premier League campaign.
