Everton are said to be keen on signing Jarrod Bowen from Hull City this summer, as Marco Silva’s side look at making additions.

Former Hull City boss Nigel Adkins’ comments about reported Everton target Jarrod Bowen should encourage Marco Silva’s side to make a move.

Football League World claim that Everton are weighing up a move for Bowen, as Silva’s side look to strengthen their attacking options.

Bowen blasted in 22 goals in the Championship, making him one of the most dangerous forwards outside the Premier League, and he has apparently caught the attention of Everton’s scouts.

Bowen would be making a big step up if he was to move to Everton.

But Hull City boss Adkins’s comments to the Tigers’ official website would suggest that Bowen has the attitude required to make a success of himself at Goodison Park.

“Jarrod has the right attitude and that is what we want – good attitudes who want to do well and improve. I am really pleased he has gone and scored the goals,” Adkins said.

“He’s backed up what he scored last season and is now close to 20 goals, which means he is a young man who’s not just a one season wonder.

“He said it the other day that he didn’t want to be seen that way so he’s backed it up this season with a run of goals.”

Bowen looks likely to leave Hull this summer, and he would suit Everton down to the ground.

Silva is looking for another wide-man, who is capable of scoring goals, and Bowen proved he can perform that role brilliantly last term.

Everton have tended to aim to bring in younger players recently, and at 22, Bowen seems to be of the right age to earn a move to Goodison Park.
