If Oumar Niasse and Sandro Ramirez leave Everton as expected, surely they will have to sign another striker?

Oumar Niasse and Sandro Ramirez are expected to be among the next high profile exits from Everton, reports the BBC, in what has already been a busy January transfer window for the club.
Sandro isn’t the only summer signing already being linked with an move from Goodison Park, with midfielder Davy Klaassen also among the potential departures.
Sandro Ramirez of Everton replaces Wayne Rooney during the Premier League match against Swansea City.
This comes after Ross Barkley joined Chelsea in a £15m deal and Kevin Mirallas returned to Olympiakos on loan for remainder of the season.
So far the only incoming transfer for the Toffees has been the £27m (BBC) capture of Cenk Tosun from Besiktas, but with Niasse and Sandro seemingly on their way out surely the Turkey international won’t be the last attacking addition this month?
Cenk Tosun celebrates after scoring a goal during the Turkish Super Lig football match between Besiktas and Galatasaray.
One of the main criticisms aimed at the Merseyside side during their early struggles this season was their lack of options upfront, with the exit of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United not being truly addressed.
Wayne Rooney has probably scored more goals than expected since his return and the rise of Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the role has been a positive, but with Rooney having played in a deeper position under manager Sam Allardyce then Calvert-Lewin and Tosun can’t be the only options as a number nine and at least one more signing will be needed.
