Everton lack striker options next season, with David Moyes relying on his limited options.
The Toffees are in for a tough reality this transfer window, as targets may be difficult to secure.
This will lead The Friedkin Group to seek lesser-known individuals throughout Europe, with Moyes intending to produce a strong plan.
As previously said, Everton will need to enhance its attackers, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin is certain to leave.
He might stay, but with the 29-year-old, another striker is required, and former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is now vital to Everton’s pursuit of one player.
Maurizio Sarri key in Taty Castellanos signing for Everton
With numerous ongoing activities influencing Everton’s strategy, Everton target Taty Castellanos may face a shift in his future.
It was recently revealed that Maurizio Sarri will return as Lazio manager, with the Italian poised to examine his players this window.
Castellanos will fall into this category, with the 26-year-old striker reportedly seeking for a new chapter in his career.
Despite Everton’s lack of interest in Castellanos, the Argentine attacker may now be affected by Sarri’s arrival.
According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Sarri’s opinion could be key for Castellanos’ future.
Lazio has failed to qualify for European competitions and is in need of funds to strengthen their squad, and it has previously been stated that Everton would have to pay £30 million to lure the striker away from Roma.
Whether Castellanos would fit Moyes’ Everton side
A striker is always a risky purchase since they are unpredictable.
Moyes may have to take this chance with the 26-year-old due to a lack of options, but he’s demonstrated at Lazio that he can be a striker built for the big stage, demonstrating his value to the club.
He may only be 5’10”, but the header demonstrates his ability to be a menace in the box, and he thrives at winning duels.
| Castellanos’ statistics for Lazio in the 24/25 season | |
| Games played | 29 |
| Goal involvements | 13 (10G+3A) |
| Chances created | 27 |
| Touches in opposition box | 160 |
| Duels won per 90 | 5.23 |
Beto will need to fend off competition next season to improve, but it will also relieve Moyes’ headache.
Everton’s objective this window is to sign a striker, and the Argentine’s ability to connect up play on the counter-attack fits Moyes’ plans perfectly.
