Everton boss Marco Silva is said to want Callum Wilson in the summer transfer window.
Everton’s performance against West Ham United was almost perfect, but their need for Callum Wilson was perfectly highlighted during the contest.
Everton put in arguably their best performance of the season at the London Stadium, as they thoroughly dominated the contest.
However, the Toffees could have won by a greater scoreline, if they had a more potent striker.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin shows plenty of promise for a player of his age, but there must be some question marks over whether he is the man to lead the line for Everton next season.
Calvert-Lewin is yet to really develop the instincts of a natural goalscorer, and Wilson should be the first name of the Toffees’ wishlist this summer.
The Sun claim that Everton are planning to bid £40 million for the Bournemouth front man, and if he does arrive at Goodison Park, he could be the ideal man for Marco Silva’s system.
Wilson is capable of playing on the last line of defence and with the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard and Richarlison feeding him, he would not be short of service.
Wilson has the finishing ability to take advantage of all the opportunities that Everton create, and if he is to arrive on Merseyside this summer, then Silva’s men could be a real threat to defences across the division next campaign.
