Everton have now made contact over a summer move for a “sensational” striker who is keen on a move to the Premier League, according to a report.
Moyes planning for the summer
When David Moyes’ return to Goodison Park was confirmed back in January, relegation was a very real threat, but the Scot has turned his side’s form on its head since replacing Sean Dyche in the dugout.
The Toffees are now 15 points clear of the bottom three, with safety more or less confirmed, which will be a massive relief heading into the first campaign at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
Moyes will, of course, be determined to finish as high as possible, but he can also start making plans for the summer, safe in the knowledge Premier League football is almost guaranteed next season, and the manager has started to identify some key targets.

David Moyes looks set to make his first permanent signing at Everton.
West Ham United’s Tomas Soucek is said to be a priority target for the Everton boss, who is eyeing a reunion with his former midfielder, while the Friedkin Group are also ready to make a move for Brentford’s Christian Norgaard.
Not only are the Merseyside club eyeing a midfielder, but they are also keen on a new striker, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin still yet to sign a new contract, and a report from TEAMtalk has revealed they have now made their first move to sign AS Roma’s Tammy Abraham.
Abraham is believed to be keen on a return to the Premier League this summer, where a number of clubs could be queuing up for his signature, with West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Fulham also named as potential suitors.
Everton’s approach is still in the early stages, having merely asked for information about the striker, who cost Roma £34m back in August 2021, before being shipped out on loan to AC Milan this season.

“Sensational” Abraham impressing in cup competitions
The “sensational” striker hasn’t been prolific in front of goal in the Serie A this term, scoring just two league goals, but he has been on the scoresheet three times in the Italian Cup, bagging a brace to knock parent club Roma out of the competition.
Having also scored in the Super Cup final against Inter Milan, the Englishman has managed to get his hands on silverware this season, which will be the aspiration for Everton once the move to Bramley-Moore Dock is completed.
The former Chelsea man’s previous exploits in England also indicate he could be capable of helping the Toffees finally end their trophy drought, should he receive regular game time, netting 15 Premier League goals for the Blues in the 2019-20 campaign.
As such, it is promising news Everton are battling for Abraham’s signature, but Moyes will be hoping he is capable of rediscovering his previous form in the league.
