Everton is considering a potential transfer for Fenerbahce striker Youssef En-Nesyri during the upcoming January window. Although interest has been noted, discussions have not reached a formal bidding stage.
Everton’s Striking Situation
Everton’s current focus includes not only En-Nesyri but also West Ham United striker Callum Wilson. The club is expected to evaluate their attacking options if they continue to struggle with goal-scoring.
Current Performance Analysis
- Beto has scored only two goals in 21 Premier League matches this season.
- Thierno Barry, who joined from Villarreal for approximately €32 million (£27.7 million), has netted three goals.
Despite a promising start, Beto’s form has waned significantly since last season, where he finished with eight Premier League goals mainly in the latter half of the campaign.
Youssef En-Nesyri’s Profile
Youssef En-Nesyri, aged 28, has enjoyed a productive season at Fenerbahce. He has scored seven goals in just 15 Super Lig matches. Since joining Fenerbahce from Sevilla in 2024, he has amassed 38 goals in 77 games across all competitions.
International Contributions
En-Nesyri is currently representing Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations. He has a strong international record, scoring 25 times in 90 appearances since his debut in 2016.
Everton’s Transfer Landscape
Recent reports indicate that Nottingham Forest has shown interest in En-Nesyri as well. However, Olympiacos’ Mehdi Taremi has emerged as a stronger candidate for their forward search. This highlights the competitive landscape for the Moroccan striker.
In addition, Everton has seen the departure of key player Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who left the club after his contract expired last summer. The ongoing evaluation of player performance and potential transfers will be crucial for the club as they look to improve their attacking line-up in the new year.
