The Leicester City player is available in January and Everton need to take more goals wherever they can get them.
According to the Sun, Leicester City are preparing to sell £8million forward Leonardo Ulloa in January, and Everton may be wise to consider a move for a somewhat left-field potential target.
The problem for the Toffees is that they are desperate for additional goal-scorers, yet their board may be reluctant to hand out considerable sums after former manager Ronald Koeman’s profligacy last summer.
There is also the issue with top strikers unlikely to be available midway through a campaign, especially in a World Cup year, and Everton would be wise to look long and hard at those players who are viable targets, especially ones with Premier League experience.
Ulloa may not be the headline name many Everton fans desire, but he has still managed 20 goals for Leicester despite only ever starting 48 matches.
More of his appearances have been from the bench than from kick-off and one wonders what he could do if he was tasked with leading the line week in, week out.
There is also the added bonus of the player having a point to prove and no doubt desperate to make up for lost time.
Everton need hungry players who can make an instant impact and Ulloa could fit the bill, especially as he will be available for a relatively cheap price, more so in this inflated market.
Whoever takes over as the next permanent Everton boss, he needs to accept that this season may be one to plaster over the damage rather than repair everything in one swoop. As a result, a move for a cheap, proven, hungry striker could be ideal.
