Everton boss Marco Silva is expected to spend more money on improving his squad this summer.

Stuart Pearce has told The Debate, which was broadcast on Sky Sports on 26th April, that Everton need to sign a more experienced striker this summer.

Everton have struggled to find a regular goalscorer from the striking position this term, and have used Dominic Calvert-Lewin as their number nine in recent months.

Calvert-Lewin has caught the eye at Goodison Park, with his tireless work rate earning him plenty of praise.

However, the England youth international still only has six Premier League goals to his name in 33 appearances.

And Pearce feels that Everton need to bolster their attack over the summer.

He said: “I think he [Calvert-Lewin] as a young man needs a bit of help. He’s got a big future at Everton but I think they need someone else to lead the line with more experience, potentially.”

Everton are thought to have funds to spend this summer, even though they invested heavily last term.

Silva’s side’s ability to attract players could be greatly increased if they can secure seventh spot and a place in next season’s Europa League.

Everton are currently in ninth, with their next match coming against Crystal Palace.
