Everton want Keane Lewis-Potter and are prepared to reinvest cash from summer sales into a deal for the Hull City sensation.
Everton survived the drop with a game to spare as Frank Lampard just about managed to keep the Toffees in the Premier League.
There just can’t be a similar situation this time next year and Everton simply have to improve or risk another nervy season.
Money is in short supply at Goodison Park though and Lampard may need to be creative in the transfer market to drag Everton forward.
Everton want Keane Lewis-Potter
iNews now report that Everton want to sign Lewis-Potter this summer.
The problem for Everton is that Hull may demand up to £30million for Lewis-Potter this summer as they look for a huge pay day.
That would be a big outlay for Everton as they wrestle against Financial Pair Play this summer.
Yet it’s noted that there is major interest in strikers Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Everton could sell one or even both of their star attackers to find incoming signings such as Lewis-Potter.
Lewis-Potter, 21, has been a star for Hull this season, racking up 12 goals and three assists in 46 Championship outings.
The winger remarkably played every minute of Hull’s Championship season and loose primed for a big Premier League move.
Everton are far from alone in the race though and West Ham United are very interested.
The Daily Star claim that West Ham boss David Moyes thinks Lewis-Potter can be just like Jarrod Bowen – another wide man who emerged with Hull.
Bowen is now in the England squad and that ascent could make West Ham very appealing to Lewis-Potter.
That’s the problem for Everton, as whilst they will have editing targets in mind, other Premier League clubs could pip them to a deal.
