So Moyes didn't need to be a rocket scientist to know that one of his first ports of call should be Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He challenged ... as caretaker boss when Sean Dyche was sacked.

It is early days, but Moyes’ Everton look like they are in a much better position to remedy their attacking woes

Everton are now eyeing a potential late move for a Premier League striker instead of the heavily linked Hamza Igamane, according to a new report, as they look to furnish David Moyes with additional firepower as he battles relegation.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City have been among those linked. However, according to Sky Sports, Barca are confident they can find a way to get Olmo back on board. Viktor Gyokeres has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United to reunite with former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim.

Ferguson, described as 'exceptional' by Emmanuel Williams, has struggled for consistent game time under Fabian Hurzeler and has been made available for a temporary move.

One of Lukaku's biggest strengths during his time as a permanent player at Goodison was his lethal nature in front of goal. He scored 53 goals from 49.16 xG across three Premier League seasons after his £28m move, which illustrates how ruthless he was for the club.

Now reports claim Casemiro could join the likes of Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen in leaving United in January, with the Red Devils needing to sell players first before they can buy in their first transfer window under new boss Ruben Amorim.

David Moyes' squad is depleted and signings are needed - how much business will Everton do before the window closes?

Everton took advantage of injury-ravaged Tottenham's troubles with a 3-2 victory to pull clear of the Premier League relegation zone on Sunday.
