Everton are in the mix to complete the signing of a “brilliant” attacking player in the summer transfer window, according to a new update.
Everton eye signings from EFL and Scotland under Friedkin Group
This summer feels like such a pivotal one for the Blues, as they begin life at a new stadium and look to kick on in the Premier League with David Moyes back in charge and The Friedkin Group’s reign underway.
Everton need to conduct plenty of transfer business, however, and Celtic centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers has been mentioned as an option. The USA international has already caught the eye of club scouts, as they look to potentially prepare for life without Jarrad Branthwaite, should he move on.
Up front, TFG are reportedly set to enquire about the availability of Richarlison this summer, as they look to possibly bring him back to the club after a successful first stint there, having fallen out of favour in a struggling Tottenham side.
Everton could also delve into the Championship to sign exciting young talent in the next window and Sunderland full-back Dennis Cirkin has emerged as a rumour target for the Merseysiders. The 22-year-old has been an impressive performer for the Black Cats this season, scoring three goals and registering two assists in the league.
Everton join the race to sign “brilliant” Rangers forward
Now, according to a fresh claim from Africa Foot [via Sport Witness], Everton have “joined the race” to sign Rangers striker Hamza Igamane at the end of the season. The Blues are far from alone in showing an interest in the 22-year-old however, with Sevilla sending scouts to watch him in action and Marseille also eyeing him up – the La Liga club’s scouts are apparently ‘convinced’ he is the perfect signing.
Igamane is a talented young striker who could have a very bright future, so he looks like a shrewd target for Everton, as Moyes looks to improve the firepower at his disposal ahead of next season. The Moroccan has proven to be a reliable source of goals for Rangers this term, scoring nine times in 18 Scottish Premiership starts, as well as finding the net on four occasions in the Europa League.
Interim Ibrox boss Derek Ferguson has spoken of his admiration for him: “Igamane is a real breath of fresh air, the young man. The manager said he was trying to get him up to speed, but in the last few games he has been nothing short of brilliant. He is off the cuff and he had three or four nutmegs this afternoon – and took his goal brilliantly. I don’t know if you remember Ted McMinn, but Igamane’s got that unpredictability.”
With long-term doubts persisting over the futures of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto at Everton, bringing in a player of Igamane’s age and promise makes complete sense for TFG.

Everton fans will be excited about the potential of this youngster.
The Rangers ace still has improving to do as a player, so it would be unfair to expect fireworks from the off, but he has shown that he can impress in the Europa League, and he has scored more goals than any Blues player in the league this season, with Iliman Ndiaye and Beto leading the way on six apiece.
