With West Ham also making an enquiry to sign Becker, interest is high in the Suriname international, who could well leave today with Union set to announce the incredible capture of Isco as a free agent, though Everton could be best positioned to land the versatile attacker.

Having just sold Anthony Gordon to Newcastle United, the funds are there for Everton make a top attacking signing in the last day of the January transfer window. And considering what Dyche needs to get his new squad out of the relegation zone, Becker would be a fantastic addition.

Becker has been part of a breakout Union squad that are dreaming of a UEFA Champions League finish, yet with the bright lights of the Premier League now calling out, the attacker could be the man to come in at Everton and save the Merseyside club from a dooming relegation.

Indeed, Everton need a quality forward who can come in and hit the ground running, and based on Becker’s form this season, the Dutch-born attacker could do just that for Dyche, with goals and firepower in the frontline needed for the Toffees.
