Everton have been linked with a move for Roma striker Edin Dzeko.
Everton beat Bournemouth 2-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, but they may still need some attacking reinforcements this month.
Kurt Zouma and Dominic Calvert-Lewin got on the scoresheet on Sunday, but it’s now just one goal in the last seven games for Richarlison, whilst Cenk Tosun and Oumar Niasse are out of favour.
Everton have been linked with a host of strikers already this month, and another was added to the list over the weekend in Roma’s Edin Dzeko.
The 32-year-old is out of contract in 18 months, and Roma may be tempted to cash in this month if they receive a strong enough bid for the Bosnian international.
A two-time Premier League title winner with Manchester City, Dzeko left England for Roma in 2015, and has starred with 80 goals in 159 games.
He may well fancy a return to the Premier League, and Il Messaggero report that Everton have registered their interest in luring Dzeko to Goodison Park in the near future.
Marcel Brands prefers to sign players with resale value, so landing Dzeko – almost 33 – would be a major shock, leaving Everton fans to react on Twitter.
Some are really excited about a move, suggesting that he is exactly what Everton need right now thanks to his physicality and target man presence, with some suggesting that they would take Dzeko in a heartbeat.
Despite his age, Everton fans feel that the ‘perfect’ Dzeko would be worth a maximum of a two-year deal, offering a short-term fix in attack whilst the Toffees develop younger striker behind him.
